Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is a liar.

Buttigieg, who is “married” to another man, said higher gasoline prices are good because they are forcing Americans to transition to electric vehicles.

He testified before the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and said, “The more pain we are all experiencing from the high price of gas, the more benefit there is for those who can access electric vehicles.”

The Biden Administration is blaming Russian President Vladimir Putin on high gas prices due to his invasion of Ukraine.

“Today’s inflation report confirms what Americans already know – Putin’s price hike is hitting America hard,” Biden said.

The truth is Biden declared war on oil and natural gas on day one of his administration. And gas prices almost doubled before Putin invaded Ukraine.

Biden has denied oil leases, shut down pipelines and threatened anyone who tries to finance oil or natural gas explanation.

As part of his “Green New Deal,” he wants to end gas-powered vehicles. It is a treacherous policy that seeks to destroy America’s energy system and replace it with unreliable wind and solar systems.

That plan means encouraging high gas prices. It is a dagger to the budget of ordinary American families who cannot afford to switch to outrageously price electric vehicles, which have a multitude of problems (limit range, poor performance, limited resale value, exorbitant repair costs and not many refueling stations).

It’s a terrible thing to destroy America’s energy. It’s even worse with bureaucrats like Buttigieg lie about the facts.
