Climate Be Damned! Inspector General Investigating Pete Buttigieg's Private Jet-Setting Life

Flying around the nation to whine about too many white laborers and dodging the calamity in East Palestine apparently aren’t possible to do on commercial planes when you’re a man about town like Pete Buttigieg.

The diversity hire secretary of Transportation is being investigated by the department’s inspector general for flagrant use of private jets

The investigation began after Fox News Digital revealed that Buttigieg had traveled on private jets at least 18 times since early 2021.

One would think private jets are a no-no for members of Biden’s administration, but Buttigieg seems to think carbon footprints are for the little people, not mayors who fail upward.

FACT-O-RAMA! South Bend’s former mayor “Pot-hole Pete” Buttigieg couldn’t fix South Bend’s pothole problem and relied on Domino’s Pizza to pay for the task.

Now, an inspector general is sniffing around Buttigieg’s travel history.

“After Americans for Public Trust helped determine Secretary Buttigieg’s excessive use of taxpayer-funded government jets, we are pleased to see that his air travel is now under investigation,” Caitlin Sutherland, the CEO of the watchdog group Americans for Public Trust (APT), told Fox News Digital.

“Everyday Americans have faced unprecedented flight cancelations and disruptions, but Buttigieg has continued to fly private, even on a Coast Guard plane and even when commercial options were readily available,” Sutherland continued.

FACT-O-RAMA! Buttigieg and his "husband" flew on military aircraft to hobnob with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for the Invictus Games in the Netherlands last year.

Immigration floodgates have been opened. No stopping it. We’re gonna have to do the same to them if we have the WH and both houses. No excuses. They’ll come up with some.

He scores enough woke points to be immune from any of this.

You can’t expect Mayor Buttplug to travel like a common peasant, can you?

He doesn’t realize that “cocktail” refers to drinks, not something else.

You know it’s really too bad that Jo Jo the Pedo Clown didn’t hire the homeless and unemployed for all of these gubmint yobs. They wouldn’t have done any worse than the jackasses he did hire are doing. Talk about the dregs of society. They all now work for the Brandon Administration. FJB.

He has to fly private because his nipple rings set off metal detectors.

Pothole Pete using private air travel would be only one of the reasons to be giving him the boot.
