Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy called the inclusion of EV charging stations “social justice” while defending his decision to pull them from infrastructure projects.

During a Wednesday morning appearance on Fox Business, Duffy explained to Stuart Varney why he chose to forego the inclusion of charging stations for electric vehicles. He argued that the stations would not be a good use of government spending, saying:

“Not only that, they put charging stations into this project, Stuart,” Duffy said. “We pulled those charging stations out, and what we’ve done across are the grants that we give. I’m not doing green. I’m not doing social justice. We’re building infrastructure.

“The last administration wanted all these green and social justice requirements that drive up the cost of projects. We’ve said no more. We’re doing roads, bridges, this infrastructure at the southern border; but enough of the side projects. Make the investments. Spend the taxpayer money well. Enough of the green, enough of the social justice. And so, I think we’re gonna get more for the taxpayer money because we’re focused the cash on infrastructure, not on social policy or Democrat liberal policy.”

6. Don't forget the bikes!

7. Ah, but they were already pulling bike lanes. They see those as

too "socially conscious." to them, if a thing can be used as a social good, it's an evil thing that must be destroyed. If it's cruel, evil, and abhorrent, it's a social good and they support it. How very Orwellian of them.

8. I guess it's a good thing I had a level two charger put in at my home.

To Sean Duffy -- may your visit from Karma be all we want it to be.
