Not many Biden officials have favor with the American public. Pete Buttigieg is no exception.
And Pete Buttigieg had to be rushed off stage as a violent protest erupted in this shocking video.
Among Democrats who have served as transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg is the most progressive.
But the radical left environmentalists of Climate Defiance, who want to use “mass-turnout, peaceful direct action to force our politicians to take action at the scope and speed necessary to avert the worst impacts of” climate change, don’t think he’s Left-wing enough.
The former Mayor of Indiana’s fourth-largest city was in Baltimore this week for a discussion of “how President Joe Biden is delivering for Maryland,” and members of that group celebrated what they apparently considered a successful protest by posting about it on X (also known as Twitter), the social media platform.
In an as-yet-unverified video posted on X, members of the group allege that Buttigieg approved many environmentally harmful projects after they climbed onto the stage that the Mayor was using.
Demonstrators’ chants of “Which side are you on, Pete?” and “End fossil fuels, Pete,” revealed a disturbing lack of grasp of the topic at hand from the young radical Leftists.
Breaking: we just chased Secretary Pete Buttigieg off the stage at the Meyerhoff Symphony.
Petro Pete is a coward. As we write he is ramming down our throats the Sea Port and GulfLink oil terminals – each worse than Keystone.
We must resist him with all we've got. And we will. pic.twitter.com/aVKeCre5eH

Today we took over a keynote address by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
Humiliated, he fled.
Craven and corrupted, Petro Pete is destroying entire communities to enrich his fossil fuel cronies.
So we did something he will never forget. And we did not apologize. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/TfHYqorfQc

Please. We confronted you there and you fled *your own* keynote to avoid our questions about fossil fuels. You bolted like a bunny. You escaped through the loading dock because you were ashamed to show face. Your cowardice was exposed to 100k+ people. You fool no one, Petro Pete. https://t.co/sF6rLK6tDV

As expected, the stunt was utilized to raise money for the organization, because nothing makes a communist happier than blowing through other people’s cash.
They wrote on X, “We are explicitly committed to ending the careers and decimating the reputations of those who disagree with us.”
Last month we did this exact same thing to the person who signed the Willow Project (Tommy Beaudreau) and he resigned 15 days later!! This is working but we need more people so we can scale up. Join our revolution. Signup on our site here: https://t.co/xmKsDsQTVl

Then this is hardly anything to celebrate as a victory for Climate Defiance. Buttigieg works at the President’s pleasure, so it’s unlikely that their show had any effect on the Biden administration at large.
The kind of people who would travel to hear Buttigieg speak in person are probably not going to be persuaded by a group of unemployed radical Leftists who just want to ruin everyone else’s day.
The most progressive young Democrats have hated the guy for years. Conservatives, on the other hand, aren’t likely to seek to defend Pete Buttigieg either.
That’s the best part of all of this. Pete Buttigieg can’t win with the extreme radical Left who he knows he has to appease otherwise the Democrats will lose support from the Democrat base during the general election season.
But at the same time, if he goes too far with the extremism, he and the rest of the Biden administration will politically alienate the average American who isn’t ready to just cut off all fossil fuels in just a few short years.
This is the hole that the Democrats have dug for themselves. They will have to pay the price for it as they decide whether to kowtow to the radical Left for the future of their political Party and relevance.
Stay tuned to the DC Daily Journal.
