Like most Democrats these days, Pete Buttigieg is obsessed with climate change. He never misses a chance to lecture the public on the dangers of carbon emissions.
And like so many other Democrats, Buttigieg is a total hypocrite who likes to fly on private jets.
Apparently, the dangers of climate change don’t apply when Pete has to get somewhere.
FOX News reports:
Pete Buttigieg often flies on taxpayer-funded private jets, flight data show
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, an advocate of increased government action to curb carbon emissions, has taken at least 18 flights using taxpayer-funded private jets since taking office, Fox News Digital has learned.
Buttigieg has traveled across the country — visiting Florida, Ohio and New Hampshire, among other states — and out of the country using a private jet fleet managed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), according to flight tracking data reviewed by Fox News Digital. The flight records align with Buttigieg’s schedule of external and public engagements obtained by government watchdog group Americans for Public Trust (APT).
“Everyday Americans face flight [cancellations] and long wait times because Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has completely mismanaged air travel,” APT executive director Caitlin Sutherland told Fox News Digital. “Yet, he gets to avoid all that by taking taxpayer-funded private jets to destinations with readily available commercial airline options.”
“And for someone so holier-than-thou on reducing emissions, Buttigieg sure doesn’t seem to mind the pollution caused by his literal jet-setting,” she continued. “This is hypocrisy at its finest, and these troubling expenses to taxpayers must come under immediate scrutiny.”

Every time you turn around, Buttigieg is there, talking about climate change.
Climate change is real.
Inaction puts lives at risk.
The Inflation Reduction Act will bring the bold, positive climate action we need.

Climate change is real.
Pretending otherwise endangers American lives.
Proud that @POTUS and this administration are confronting this issue, no matter what.

It’s just different when he flies private jets.
He’s important, unlike you.
