    What the hell is Burlison talking about? He is trying to hard for a "gotcha" moment, he comes off sounding like someone who is literally against the future. What a tool.

    "Oh shit, he has facts and well reasoned arguments, let me pivot to another shit question"
  • @Jason-ho8wr
    lol, that dude looks scared to death to ask him a question
  • @luv2roam879
    Republicans could just drop the subsidy of EVs. Also, stop subsidizing coal, Boeing, soy farmers, chicken farmers, beef ranchers and banks.
  • This Eric guy was so embarrassed that his face turned red.
  • @imwteach
    What does a Rep from Missouri know about EV's...evidently nothing!
  • @bbillbill3919
    Here in New Zealand left and right governments over the past 30 years have agreed no subsidies anywhere. if you have a product priced right that people want/need the economy will prosper

    I’d love to see Buttigieg debate Trump, he made this guy look foolish.
  • Bought my EV without tax rebate or subsidies. Rep. Burlison references an incident where an EV battery died and the fire department had to break a window to rescue a child is looked inside. Yeah, how many times does it happen that a child is left inside a gas vehicle in the heat? NTSB reported EV fires-25/100,000 sold, gas vehicle fires-1530/100,000 sold, Hybrid vehicle fires-3475/100,000 sold.

    Mayor Pete is such an intelligent, well spoken leader. Americans should be proud to have him working on our behalf. Mayor Pete shoud be the Democrats POTUS candidate.
  • @MalikKillian
    My battery on my gas powered truck died the other day. Wtf is he talking about???
  • Why do these guys continue to try to play “gotcha” with Pete Buttigieg? He flattens them everytime.
