Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was heckled off the stage as climate protesters chanted "Stop Petro Pete" and "End Fossil Fuels Pete" during an event on Wednesday.
Buttigieg was speaking at iMPACT MARYLAND at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall in Baltimore, Maryland, when he was interrupted by the protesters from the liberal group.
"Your [Department of Transportation] just approved the Seaport Oil Terminal, a project that will have 80 coal plants' worth of greenhouse gas emissions and will worsen air quality in areas that already live in cancer clusters. This is about environmental racism, and it’s about the climate impacts this project will have,” a protester told Buttigieg.
In footage released by the group behind the protest, Climate Defiance, Buttigieg can be seen trying to speak with the protesters before eventually leaving the stage, with them continuing to heckle the transportation secretary as he was escorted away by security.
