Critics heaped scorn upon a clip showing Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg excitedly talking about the prospect of "most Americans" switching to electric vehicles due to high gas prices.
During the short clip, which was taken from a Thursday interview between the government official and radio show BigBoyTV, Buttigieg discussed how the U.S. government is looking to cut the cost of electric vehicles so that more Americans will buy them and get out of paying so much for gas.
All smiles, Buttigieg claimed, "We’re for cutting the cost of electric vehicles, because when you have an electric vehicle then you’re also gonna be able to save on gas, but you’ve got to be able to afford it in the first place."
Buttigieg continued, "Now we’re actually starting to see on some models, the cost come to where, even if your car payment’s a little higher, your gas payment will be a little lower and you come out ahead."
The clip ended with him claiming, "But the prices still need to come down for most Americans to be able to get an EV."
For Americans angry at Biden’s energy policies – which critics claimed seem to have followed through on his campaign promise to get Americans off fossil fuels – Buttigieg’s statements added insult to injury.

Has anyone done any research on the investment portfolios of these people?
If someone is a true believer in it, that’s on them.
But, if Buttigieg and the rest have went all in on EV-stocks and other “green” energy scams, using the power of government and their respective bully pulpit, I think it would be nice to see him and the rest confronted.
Can’t everyone afford a new car like us gummit workers?
Politicians are rather caviler about their insider stock trading/corruption:

And never confronted with it.
Pelosi’s husband just purchased some major chip stock right before a vote on them was done.
I would like to see a legit reporter confront Mayor Pete and watch him tap dance. Mayor Pete isn’t the kind that can stand there and lie. It’s be nice to see him squirm for an answer
I don’t know much about electric cars,
but I do know my electric bill also keeps going up.
Isn’t he breast feeding or something?
My bad.
Yes.
“This stupid gay kid is way over his head”
Like everybody else in the Biden administration.
This one is better. Solutions for the green new deal.
