Rep. Scott Perry slammed Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg in a House hearing Wednesday, saying the Biden administration is attempting to"kill the auto industry" with electric vehicles.

In light of the United Auto Workers union strike, the Pennsylvania Republican pointed out that the subsidies are"killing their jobs."
