A woman was caught on video ranting at LAX about 'useless motherf**ker' Pete Buttigieg and demanding that Delta put her on the next flight, only to be told that she was at the WestJet counter—and also the wrong terminal.

A woman has made headlines after a video of her angrily shouting about Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg while facing travel issues at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) went viral.

The woman, who appeared to be experiencing flight problems, directed her frustration at a WestJet desk agent, demanding to be put on the next available flight and asking to call Buttigieg for assistance.


In a video obtained by TMZ, the woman can be seen shouting a string of expletives at airline staff while attacking Buttigieg:

“Get me the f**k up on the next flight, motherf**kers! Or call Pete Buttigieg right now! Call that motherf**ker Pete Buttigieg right now! That useless motherf**ker!”
“Seriously! Call Pete Buttigieg right now! The [incomprehensible] of TSA! Call that motherf**ker right now! Get me up on the next flight, get me up on the next motherf**king flight! Seriously! And pay for that s**t! Pay for that s**t!”

After the initial rant, the woman pounded the counter before she calmed down and asked if she was speaking with a Delta desk only to be corrected by a bystander who said:

“This is WestJet, not Delta."

You can watch what happened in the video below.

The woman was swiftly mocked once the video went viral.




Republicans have previously attacked Buttigieg as the aviation industry contends with the fallout from recent systemic failures that left travelers stranded and contributed to a crisis of confidence nationwide.

In 2022, Buttigieg hit back at criticisms after Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee raised questions about his whereabouts in the wake of winter storms that wreaked havoc across the country and caused Southwest Airlines to cancel thousands of flights.

Southwest's string of cancelations opened the company up to federal scrutiny. House Republicans were quick to cast blame on Buttigieg for the crisis that disrupted holiday plans for hundreds of thousands of travelers nationwide.

The GOP has taken to absurdly blaming Buttigieg seemingly for every transportation-related crisis. Somehow, similar criticisms were never hurled at Donald Trump's Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao when he was in office.
