The transportation secretary joins Dr. Anthony Fauci in welcoming GOP-led investigations into the Biden administration.
In the summer, Buttigieg publicly clashed with Texas Representative Troy Nehls after he was asked about Biden's ability to serve as president and whether Cabinet members have spoke of implementing the 25th Amendment, which would be invoked if the president is removed from office, resigns or dies. If any of those instances were to happen, the vice president would then become president.
"First of all, I'm glad to have a president who can ride a bicycle," Buttigieg said."And, I will look beyond the insulting nature of that question and make clear to you that the president of the United States...is as vigorous a colleague or boss as I have ever had the pleasure of working with." House Republicans, like Missouri Representative Sam Graves, the ranking member of the House Transportation Committee, have already accused Buttigieg and the Biden administration of"pursuing its own woke priorities" in the infrastructure package.
In a September letter addressed to the transportation secretary, Graves alleged that Buttigieg's department and the White House were"implementing these policies that violate the spirit of law," and asked Buttigieg to provide documents about the role the White House had over transportation policies. Graves and Kentucky Representative James Comer, the ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, also launched a probe about the federal spending in the bill back in March, requesting that White House Infrastructure Coordinator Mitch Landrieu hand over all documents and communications related to the spending.
