Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg criticized Republicans in Congress for their opposition to President Joe Biden's agenda on Monday night during an appearance on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.'
Buttigieg conceded to the comedian that it was 'frustrating' when GOP critics of the Biden administration's $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill vote against it in Washington and then celebrate its benefits within their own constituencies.
He's the latest White House official to cry hypocrisy as anti-Biden Republicans continue to tout federal infrastructure grants with the midterm elections looming.
