    "Then why didn't you vote for the provision to move it to US soil". Hilarious and well-timed last line lol
  • @azzbaster9823
    He’s so concerned about the child labor, but voted no to have it moved to US soil. Hmmm.
  • All of a sudden the GOP is concerned about people in the Congo? At a time when millions are dying from air pollution from burning fossil fuels. The argument against EVs is absolutely disingenuous.
  • Why does the right keep wanting to go toe to toe with Pete? He brings the facts and he is just that much more informed than the whole lot of 'em
  • @MrTeff999
    Pete would be my pick to replace Joe Biden.
  • @raulp8191
    Congressman: “Why haven’t you made it it better?!” Buttigieg: “Why didn’t you vote with us to make it better?” Congressman: ::silence::
  • @missmurry
    Secretary Buttigieg is what the universe gives us mere mortals when it is showing off...
  • @user-rn6rq3bn5m
    it never gets old watching Pete Buttigieg. Why is Biden president and not Buttigieg?
  • @gregking7926
    Never get into a discussion with Sec Pete IF you don't have the facts in front of you. You will get Katie Portman'd every time..
  • @dulpurp
    "then why didn't you vote for the provision to move it onto us soil?"
  • It’s like an elementary student trying to debate a college professor! Pete is always five moves ahead! It must frustrate them when he answers their questions because it makes them look ignorant!
  • So funny to see them try to argue w buttigied like this. They always fail lol
  • @Pseudo___
    the whole just come and let congress rant and with out really wanting replies is one of the most annoying things in congress
  • @JohnM3665570
    It amazes me that Republicans say they are concerned about regulations, but will do everything to get rid of regulations to help businesses.
  • @ldbagwell
    And what is their concern about all the child labor reductions in the last year.
  • @6spdkeg
    complete and utter failure.
