As Americans continue to experience travel chaos, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg flew on a taxpayer-funded jet from D.C. to NYC before returning to D.C. hours later.

During his second visit, Buttigieg attended a convention held by the Al Sharpton-founded National Action Network and appeared onA last-minute meeting at the White House interrupted Buttigieg’s pre-planned two-day trip to New York City, according to a DOT spokesperson.
APT executive director Caitlin Sutherland blasted Buttigieg for using the taxpayer-funded jet despite boasting about the country’s rail transportation and calling on Americans to reduce their carbon footprint.As the self-described “second biggest fan of rail in the administration” only behind the President, it’s laughable Secretary Buttigieg flew private to New York City to meet with the head of a liberal dark money group instead of taking Amtrak.
“When we’re making a decision about what kind of aircraft to use, we weigh a lot of things,” Buttigieg Fox News last week. “[Climate impacts are] one of the things we consider. So is saving taxpayers money.”
