--- Quote ---EXCLUSIVE: Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg traveled to Europe on a military aircraft to attend the Fifth Invictus Games with his husband Chasten Buttigieg last spring, according to an internal calendar reviewed by Fox News Digital.

On April 15, Buttigieg traveled from Joint Base Andrews to Rotterdam, Netherlands, via "MilAir Flight" before returning two days later on military aircraft, the calendar obtained by Americans for Public Trust (APT) and shared with Fox News Digital showed. According to photos from the event and media reports, the transportation secretary traveled to the Netherlands with his husband.

President Biden announced that Buttigieg would lead a presidential delegation, which included lawmakers and fellow administration officials, to the Invictus Games days prior to the event in April. The event was founded by Prince Harry in 2014 as a multi-sport competition for wounded, injured or sick soldiers and military veterans. Buttigieg joined the U.S. Navy Reserve in 2009 and was deployed to Afghanistan in 2014.  ...

In a separate statement, a Department of Transportation spokesperson reiterated the importance of the Invictus Games, but didn't answer questions about the cost to taxpayers and whether Buttigieg plans on reimbursing the government for costs associated with his husband's travel.  ...

But in 2017, former President Donald Trump accepted the resignation of then-Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Tom Price after it was reported the Cabinet official had cost taxpayers more than $1 million using government-funded private jets and military aircraft. Following reports that Price's wife had accompanied him on military aircraft during overseas trips, the former HHS secretary reimbursed the government for her travel costs. ...

This follows last month’s bombshell report that Buttigieg has taken at least 18 taxpayer-funded private jet flights since taking office, despite advocating for major emissions reductions and failing to improve commercial air travel for normal Americans.

As @DanaPerino noted, @SecretaryPete’s penchant for private flights flies in the face of his mission to promote the carbon-reducing green agenda of the Biden administration.

Oh yes, boo hoo, no one would complain if his spouse was female, I'm sure. This clown is soaking the taxpayers like so many gubmint officials before him, and his bedroom fancies have nothing to do with it.
