U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is getting roasted on social media after his husband complained about rent prices in Washington, D.C., claiming they couldn’t afford anything bigger than a one-bedroom apartment. PETE BUTTIGIEG SAYS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD 'ENCOURAGE' VACCINE PASSPORTS"We couldn’t afford the one-bedroom-plus-den," Chasten said. "We’re doing fine for ourselves, and [yet] the city is almost unaffordable," Chasten told the paper. "Americans are struggling to afford basic necessities thanks to #bidenflation but poor Pete & Chasten don't get a den in their high-end building. "You can get a nice 1BR (or a 2BR in some cases) for significantly less than $4,500 a month in DC..." wrote Washington Post reporter Josh Dawsey.
