Buttigieg claims to support public transit, but perhaps it&#8217;s all for show. Unfortunately, most hardworking Americans can&#8217;t afford their very own convoy of government-issue SUVs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1455259\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/fb_image-522.jpeg\" alt width=\"830\" height=\"584\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Buttigieg&#8217;s preference for fancy travel at the expense of the environment is nothing new.
