“Since nearly 80% of the population uses cars to get to work and their important medical appointments, we are taking a closer look at federal guidance to ensure American families have the infrastructure they need,” the spokesperson said. “This is a common sense approach despite the Left’s belief that everyone should ride a bike to their shoebox-sized apartment to eat crickets to achieve a phony climate agenda.”

Let's put aside whether or not cars or bikes are "better" and consider the fact that, due to conservative agenda that concentrates wealth in the hands of the few, many people can't afford to drive a car. Should those people be left behind? I'm sure the answer is yes, because, again, the conservative agenda.
