Pete Buttigieg flew almost 20 times on taxpayer-funded private jets (https://nypost.com/2022/12/12/pete-buttigieg-flew-almost-20-times-on-taxpayer-funded-private-jets/)


WASHINGTON — He’s the secretary of (private) transportation.

Pete Buttigieg has flown 18 times on taxpayer-funded private jets since taking office early last year — a practice that caused an outcry forcing one of former President Donald Trump’s cabinet officials to resign his position five years ago.

Buttigieg’s travel habits were first reported Monday by Fox News Digital, which cited flight tracking data obtained by the watchdog group Americans for Public Trust.

According to the report, Buttigieg has used two taxpayer-funded Cessna 560XL jets managed by the Federal Aviation Administration for trips to states including Nevada, Florida, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Ohio and New Hampshire.

Fox News also reported that Buttigieg used a private plane to travel to Montreal in September to attend an International Civil Aviation Organization conference.

“Every day Americans face flight cancellations and long wait times because Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has completely mismanaged air travel,” APT executive director Caitlin Sutherland said in a statement. “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,” Sutherland added. “This is hypocrisy at its finest, and these troubling expenses to taxpayers must come under immediate scrutiny.”

Buttigieg’s predecessor as transportation secretary, Elaine Chao, was criticized for using the same fleet seven times in 2017, which Politico reported at the time had cost taxpayers roughly $94,000.

That same year, Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price resigned after he was revealed to have taken 26 private jet flights, costing taxpayers about $1.2 million.

While the exact cost of Buttigieg’s flights is unclear, the Washington Post reported during the controversy over Price and Chao’s travel that the FAA charges federal agencies roughly $5,000 per hour to use the private jet fleet.

A Department of Transportation spokesperson told Fox News Digital that Buttigieg uses the private fleet for a small percentage of his official travel.

“Secretary Buttigieg mostly travels by commercial airline, and has directed that travel and logistical decisions be grounded in efficient and responsible use of taxpayer dollars,” the rep said. “Given that commercial air travel is usually the cheapest way for the Secretary and his staff to travel, 108 of the 126 flights for DOT trips he has taken have been on commercial airlines.”

“However, there are some cases where it is more efficient and/or less expensive for the Secretary and accompanying personnel to fly on a 9-seater FAA plane rather than commercial flights,” the spokesperson added. “Use of the FAA plane in limited, specific cases has helped to maximize efficiency and save thousands of taxpayer dollars.”

must be nice.

He does a lot of jobs I guarantee it

[Patrick Chewing]

One of Pete's jobs is to wipe the shit off his dick every night.

[iamgine]

Dems were complaining about his private jet use during the 2020 election. He used private jets more than any other candidate including Biden, Bernie and even Michael Bloomberg.

It's ok for the Dems to call him out, but the second Republicans call out his hypocrisy...."Foul!!!"

Republicans need to watch their morality because they claim they care about family values

Democrats need to watch their carbon footprint because they claim they care about climate change.

In reality neither care much about anything as long as it gets them elected

I hate him because he's a Liberal. Liberals hate this country and are evil. I don't agree with his homosexuality just like I don't agree with yours.

It's not a question of agreeing with homosexuality. They were born that way and are a fact of life.

It's is your homophobia that is the result of all your fears.

You're a moron. I don't have to agree with anyone. You're the type of person that feels like that's a threat. You're addicted to outrage. Just cause someone likes you, it doesn't mean that your world is coming to an end and you have to dedicate the rest of your life to following these people around. That's just life. People aren't going to agree with you and that's just the way it is. I don't agree with homosexuality. Doesn't mean these people are subhuman or anything like that. Doesn't mean I have a "Phobia" of them. It means that I don't agree with having butt sex with men. If that's your thing, go for it. Be the gayest man you can be. Break your dick off in a man's ass if it empowers you.

Poopsie doubles down on his stupid "I don't agree with homosexuality" statement, like being gay is a choice for homosexuals.

You're so stupid. It doesn't matter if I agree with it or not and it doesn't matter if it's a choice or not. Who cares if I don't agree with it? That's the difference between normal, rational human beings such as myself, and ignorant outrage-driven people such as yourself. You have a problem with people that don't agree with what you agree with. Like, it actually bothers you to your core. That's stupid on your part.

Next Poopsie will disagree that water is wet.

[Patrick Chewing]

You see folks, there is no intelligent discussion with that mental midget. He's just a troll. I wouldn't be surprised if he was one of the mods.

You have said you would kill all liberals.

Poopsie's a little sensitive about his lack of higher education.

[Patrick Chewing]

:facepalm

I believe I asked you first.

No. You said my "avatar shows it", and I'm correcting you by stating that my avatar is a picture of Patrick Ewing. So it is you who clearly has no education whatsoever due to years of inbreeding in that family of yours.

This is Poopsie still not admitting he never made it to college.

By the way it says Death to Liberalism right above your avatar. Everyone knew this except your dumb hillbilly ass.

Poopsie as vile and disgusting as always.

This must be one of those serious conversations he says liberals wont engage it.
