Buttigieg Defends Biden’s Fitness for Office: ‘I’m Glad to Have a President Who Can Ride’ a Bike

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg went to bat for President Joe Biden’s mental fitness for office.

Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) asked Buttigieg during a House hearing on Tuesday if he had discussed invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Biden from office.

“We now see the mainstream media questioning President Biden’s mental state and for good reason,” he said.

He went on, “Sadly, he shakes hands with ghosts and imaginary people. He falls off bicycles. Even at the White House Easter celebration, the Easter Bunny had to guide him back into his safe place. Cue cards that say ‘sit here’ or ‘end of speech’ which he actually reads, that is if he stays awake.”

“So my question for you is, sir, have you spoken with any other cabinet members about implementing the 25th Amendment on President Biden?” Nehls asked

Buttigieg responded, “First of all, I’m glad to have a president who can ride a bicycle. And I will look beyond the insulting nature of that question and make clear to you that the President of the United States…”

Nehls interjected to ask, ”Have you spoken to any other cabinet members about implementing the 25th Amendment on President Biden?”

“Of course not,” the Transportation secretary responded.

He went on, ”The President of the United States is as vigorous a colleague or boss as I have ever had the pleasure of working with.”
