Pete Buttigieg has brutally insulted the entire state of New Jersey with his brutal take on the recent “drone invasion” that has sparked widespread outrage over the past month.
The U.S. Secretary of Transportation was asked about the recent SUV-sized drone sightings disrupting the Garden State and the suspected “alien invasion” when he appeared on The Breakfast Show, co-hosted by popular television personality Charlamagne tha God.
Buttigieg boldly claimed that New Jersey would be a “very unlikely” place for aliens to set up camp in the opening minutes of the nearly 38-minute interview.
“I mean no disrespect to New Jersey when I say that I think it is highly unlikely that an alien invasion would begin in New Jersey,” said the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana.
Co-host DJ Envy told the 42-year-old politician to “watch your mouth,” while explaining that all three of the show’s hosts live in New Jersey.
“I love New Jersey. “I’m just saying, I don’t think this is the primary entry point that an alien would do…unless there’s something we don’t know about,” Buttigieg added, before explaining his choice for a possible alien landing.
“I’d go somewhere in the Pacific where there’s no inhabited space for a few hundred miles so I can get my bearings a little bit before I go somewhere where someone’s going to see me, right?” he said.
Charlamagne curiously refuted Buttigieg’s statement, asking, “What if they’ve been watching us for years?”

During his appearance on “The Breakfast Show,” co-hosted by popular television personality Charlamagne tha God (pictured), the U.S. Secretary of Transportation was grilled over the recent SUV-sized drone sightings disrupting the Garden State and suspected ‘alien invasion’.
“Yeah, maybe, I don’t know,” Buttigieg said.
“Secretary Pete knows something,” Charlamagne replied quickly.
The probing discussion has since generated a series of responses from followers on social media.
“Despite all the disdain for Pete Buttigieg, it’s highly likely that an alien invasion would absolutely start in New Jersey,” said one user on X.
“So basically Jersey is not on the radar for intelligent life,” another commented.
Another added: “Buttigieg never said it was NOT an invasion.”
“Secret of Transportation Pete Buttigieg is responsible for the safety of America’s airspace. Yet there are unidentified drones buzzing over New Jersey, and Pothole Pete is nowhere to be found…’ said a user on X.
The massive drone sightings, which began in late November, mainly over New Jersey and parts of neighboring states, have raised alarm among Americans who are increasingly concerned that foreign entities are behind the mysterious unmanned aircraft.
Meanwhile, White House officials continue to downplay the concerns, despite overwhelming public outrage and repeated calls from administration officials demanding action and answers.
Earlier this month, several drones were spotted flying over New Jersey skies

President Joe Biden said: “We are monitoring this closely, but so far no sense of danger,” the 82-year-old said during a White House briefing. “There are many drones authorized up there,” said a statement released Tuesday.
“I think someone started it and they all – everyone wanted in on the deal,” he added, apparently pointing to a “copycat” theory as a possible source for the copious drone sightings.
In addition, the Federal Aviation Administration has announced a “temporary ban” on parts of New Jersey until mid-January, warning that the government could respond with “deadly force” to drones that pose a threat.
However, on Thursday, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy warned that the worrying influx of drone sightings over the state is a “wake-up call” to the country’s vulnerability to possible foreign attacks.
“Now that we can say this based on the most advanced drone detection systems in the world that arrived in New Jersey last Friday and Saturday, there is no public threat here, period. I could say that unequivocally,” Murphy further said News 12 New Jersey’s ‘Ask Gov. Murphy’ program.
“The part that should really concern us is the vulnerability that we have as a nation to drone incursions,” Murphy said. “It’s a big problem.”
‘We as a nation are vulnerable. We have to address that. We need to address it as quickly as possible, and New Jersey is not immune.”
Since drones were first spotted over the Garden State on Nov. 18, the FBI has received more than 5,000 tips about sightings in the tri-state area alone, according to a statement released Monday by the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI. the FAA and the Department of Defense.
