Pete Buttigieg's husband goes to war with Libs of TikTok founder over her ... trends now
The husband of U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is engaged in an online battle with the founder of the Libs of Tik Tok account after she was appointed to a school library panel in the state of Oklahoma, a political position.
Chasten Buttigieg criticized Libs founder Chaya Raichik for lacking the qualifications necessary for her to sit on the state's library advisory committee.
Riachik was appointed by Oklahoma's state superintendent of public institutions, to oversee public school library content despite her having no qualifications in education or library science.
Buttigieg, 34, suggested Raichik, 29, who runs the far-right and anti-LGBT social-media account, was not qualified to hold such a position, quite apart from the fact she does not even live in the state of Oklahoma, but rather Los Angeles, 1,500 miles away.

Buttigieg made a point of highlighting how she lives in California, has no degrees in library science, education or has any classroom experience.
'As a parent and former teacher, I want qualified people involved in education. This is actually quite simple. Chaya isn't qualified for her appointed government position. She doesn't live in Oklahoma. Holds no degree in education. Zero classroom experience. The rest is theatrics,' he wrote.
'Placing individuals who have openly attacked LGBTQ+ rights in positions that influence educational policy sends a dangerous message. It undermines the very foundation of what education should be—a place of safety, growth, and inclusivity.'
