Failed Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is being ruthlessly mocked on social media for comparing the Biden administration’s accomplishments to the Hoover Dam.
In a video posted to X on Tuesday, Buttigieg bragged about the Biden administration’s supposed accomplishments — claiming that they would be looked upon in the future as fondly as the Hoover Dam.
“I’m confident that a century from now, future Americans will look back on the work we’ve done—much as we look at the Hoover Dam—and see how the Biden-Harris Administration’s ‘Big Deal’ for infrastructure made big things possible,” the former small town mayor-turned-transportation secretary wrote.
Buttigieg, whose tenure as transportation secretary was filled with scandals and massive failures, narrated this brief video himself — where he claimed that the Biden administration had fixed the supply chain crisis that loomed over the COVID era and caused significant problems for the administration.
“President Biden arrived in office with a sober recognition of the scale of the problems our country was facing,” Buttigieg added.
He went on to push the false, repeatedly debunked claim that the Biden administration had “created” millions of jobs — despite data showing that the majority of the jobs “created” under President Joe Biden were the result of people returning back to work after the COVID lockdowns, and were not new jobs. Also, according to The Daily Wire, “nearly every jobs report in the last year had to be revised downward after the fact.”

“If you clowns had been in charge of building the Hoover Dam, it would have cost 400 billion dollars and we wouldn’t have started building it yet,” John Hawkins posted, likely referencing recent reports that the Biden administration had spent billions of taxpayer dollars on several different projects that have not even produced results, including a plan to build electric vehicle charging stations that has seen $7.5 billion spent and zero charging stations built.

“The entire theme of this administration has been boasting of being the most incredible, history-making, innovative and celebrated administration of all time, despite no one being able to name a single thing they’ve done. It is obnoxious, but they keep strutting around …” Chad Felix Greene wrote.

“Future Americans will look back just as current Americans and see that the Biden-Harris administration is full of liars and grifters who stole American taxpayer’s $ and lied about their accomplishments. You’re all incompetent nobodies who accomplished nothing,” another user wrote.
