Pete Buttigieg RIPS Trump with HILARIOUS comeback during hearing

During a House Transportation hearing, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg clapped back at Rep. Troy Nehls who went on a bizarre rant about President Biden's mental fitness. Ironically, by the end of the back and forth, it was Nehls who seemed mentally unfit to serve in the United States Government. Francis Maxwell reports!

I agree. And I am not even an American, but in Europe we are sick and tired of the shit-show that you have become over the last few years. You are NO longer the bastion of Democracy you have been proclaiming yourself to be for the last two hundred and forty something years. If anything you are becoming an international joke. You desperately need to elect somebody able and competent to the position of being the most powerful person on the face of the planet. Sadly I see no such candidates emerging. They all seem eager to leave the arena for calmer duties. And the remaining ones seem to be as defective, or even more(if possible) as Donald. J. Trump.

Hey Mr. Guest, if republicans couldn't consider the 25th, until the day of Jan 6th, despite all warning signs like 2 impeachments in a single term, it's mighty rich to expect the 25th for falling off a bike on his free time! Biden still uses words trump doesn't even know!
