Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was present on the MSNBC broadcast “Inside with Jen Psaki” this weekend.
He made outrageous claims about walking safely in Washington, D.C., to the Capitol.
“I can confidently walk my dog at the Capitol today in a way that you couldn’t do when we all got here,” Buttigieg told Jen Psaki.

The transport minister failed to mention that, as a high-ranking government official, he has access to security details.
Violent crime has spiraled out of control in the nation’s capital.
Secretary Buttigieg went on to apologize for Biden’s low approval rating.
“While there is a very well-funded noise machine trying to poke holes in these results, trying to talk down the economy and all the things that America has done,” Buttigieg said.
“The American economy under his leadership has created many jobs, especially in sectors such as manufacturing,” continued Buttigieg.

Pete Buttigieg attributes Biden’s poor approval to a “well-funded noise machine… trying to slow down the economy.”
UNDER BIDEN: Gas rose 51%, prices rose 18.6%, real average weekly earnings fell 4.2% (8.2% increase under Trump), and zero added in March new jobs in the manufacturing sector. pic.twitter.com/6TsYSguuoW

The reality is that the economy is not doing well. Gas prices have risen significantly and inflation is destroying people’s savings. Despite its claims about manufacturing jobs, March remained unchanged.
This is the real Biden economy.
