White House correspondent April Ryan was ridiculed on Monday after asking Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg about the racism "built into the roadways."

Ryan took the opportunity to ask Buttigieg about the Biden administration's plans to "deconstruct the racism" that’s built into America's infrastructure. RICK SCOTT CLASHES WITH CNN OVER THE TEACHING OF CRITICAL RACE THEORY: ‘PARENTS AREN’T DUMB’"Also can you give us the construct of how you will deconstruct the racism that was built into roadways?" Ryan then referenced an earlier interview Buttigieg gave The Grio in April when he said "there is racism physically built into some of our highways."
