Buttigieg saves world's environment riding 2-wheeler with SUV escorts

He is going to save the world in his own mind. 

Riding his two-wheeler to work instead of a gas-guzzling vehicle is how Transportation Secretary Peter Buttigieg gets to work, at least on video. He is aiming to exemplify "the right thing to do" for all Americans to help fight global climate change. His two-wheeler and all our two-wheelers can save the planet, especially if India, China and Russia all cooperate and ride their two-wheelers too.

Pete was heading to an April Fool's Day Cabinet meeting when he was seen unloading his two-wheeler from the back of an SUV for his exhibition ride to the meeting.

As he rode out in the morning, two SUVs followed "Peddling Pete." The video was posted online by local WFMZ-TV.

“Pete Buttigieg has a history of gimmicky stunts, just for show, like doing a desk job on a military base for a few weeks, then trying to pose as a combat veteran. Now this phony stunt.” radio host Mark Simone observed of Mad Magazine's Alfred E. Neuman look-alike.

“Caught in the act,” said conservative author and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza on Twitter.

The former South Bend mayor who couldn't even get the town's potholes repaired, and a losing presidential contender, has tried to show off his green bona fides in his new role. 

Last week he mentioned the possibility of a vehicle mileage tax in Biden’s new infrastructure bill to help cover costs, before later walking it back as it made him look like an out of touch imbecile.

The Department of Transportation tried to cast Buttigieg as some kind of folk hero. “He rode his bike to the White House cabinet meeting and he rode his bike back to DOT after the meeting,” they proudly exclaimed.

What he did was to ride his bike back to the SUV a little bit down the road, load it into the vehicle and drive off in a cloud of dust, a puff of smoke, and a hearty, "What, me worry?"
