U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was lampooned after his house husband, Chasten, whined about being forced to live in a one-bedroom apartment without a den (the horror!) because the rent is so high in Washington.
The Buttigiegs moved from a 2,500-square-foot, three-bedroom house in South Bend , Indiana, into an 800-square-foot, one-bedroom apartment in D.C.
The couple pay roughly $3,000 a month in rent, Chasten told The Washington Post on Tuesday.
The unemployed teacher groused in the fluff interview that “we couldn’t afford the one-bedroom-plus-den” even though Pete’s taxpayer-funded salary is a comfortable $221,400 . For reference, that’s $18,450 a month in pretax income.
Chasten said the couple chose to live in a smaller apartment in a fancy building in a nice part of town (instead of a bigger unit in a cheaper building in a less-exclusive part of the city) because it has around-the-clock security.
Good security is necessary in Democrat-run Washington, where crime has skyrocketed following the left’s “defund the police” frenzy.
Chasten expressed shock that rents are high in big cities and wondered how middle-class Americans manage their finances, which are under siege by soaring inflation .

“We’re doing fine for ourselves, and [yet] the city is almost unaffordable,” he told the Post. “Which tells you how extremely unaffordable it is for many people.”
Chasten’s tone-deaf complaints illustrate how out-of-touch with reality today’s Democrats are.Wow, rents are higher in big cities than in small towns like South Bend (population: 102,136) where Buttigieg was mayor? Stop the presses for this breaking news!Chasten’s griping earned scorn from Twitter commenters, who were disgusted by his bellyaching.Abigail Marone, the press secretary for Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri, tweeted: “Americans are struggling to afford basic necessities thanks to #Bidenflation but poor Pete & Chasten don’t get a den in their high-end building. Boo hoo.” Imagine being so far removed from the real world that you complain about your $4,500/mo apartment not having a den. Americans are struggling to afford basic necessities thanks to #bidenflation but poor Pete & Chasten don’t get a den in their high-end building. Boo hoo. https://t.co/id4F7RztKB — Abigail Marone (@abigailmarone) July 26, 2021 The […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
