On the recordApril 25, 2023
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to call for Secretary Pete Buttigieg to resign for failing to do his job. He has taken the Department of Transportation from efficient and effective to woke and divisive. Instead of keeping Americans safe, tackling supply chain challenges, and modernizing transportation systems, he is flying all over the country on private jets to talk about race and gender. Looks to me like he is campaigning for President on the taxpayers' dime. I know it sounds like I am being hard on the Secretary, but I do have some questions. He recently asked Congress for $20 million to buy female dummies to use in safety tests. How many total genders is he going to request for? We are already funding two dummies. Now, he is asking for a third. What is the total going to be? Forty? Fifty? This is a slippery slope. Secretary Pete needs to resign so someone else can take the wheel at the DOT. America needs fewer dummies, not more. ____________________
