Pete Buttigieg admits he got it wrong on the Ohio train derailment response.
But while the criticism is fair, he says, the critics are mostly not.
“It’s really rich to see some of these folks – the former president, these Fox hosts – who are literally lifelong card-carrying members of the East Coast elite, whose top economic policy priority has always been tax cuts for the wealthy, and who wouldn’t know their way around a T.J. Maxx if their life depended on it, to be presenting themselves as if they genuinely care about the forgotten middle of the country,” the Transportation Secretary said. “You think Tucker Carlson knows the difference between a T.J. Maxx and a Kohl’s?”
In an exclusive interview with CNN, Buttigieg acknowledged mistakes. He said he should have gone to East Palestine, Ohio, earlier. He said he failed to anticipate the political fallout from the toxic train derailment, despite months of transportation problems like mass flight cancellations and an air traffic control system shutdown that left many Americans frustrated.

Sounds like someone’s panties are in a bunch....
He has to resign.
I haven’t actually seen him do anything on this “job” he seems to be referring to in this conversation.
Stop it, Pete. As if you know anything about normal people.
I think he did a lot of breast-feeding on the job.
He is not qualified.
WEF homosexual qualifies him as front man.
No, what’s rich is seeing this guy so shocked and dumbfounded that he might have had to perform some sort of functional work while in office. Oh my, the folks criticizing him are “east coast elites”. My, how that explains everything.
He got confused after he heard someone say “here comes the train”
I’ve known a fair number of high ranking bureaucrats who don’t “do” anything. They just hope that everything turns out for the best. It’s a poor strategy.
Tucker Carlson was born and raised in California.
He couldn’t even get THAT right.
his kamala harris level of incompetence is out there for all to see
he cannot be resurrected
another peter principle member of the biden administration
affirmative action
If he was a hetero republican he’d have already been shown the door.
Two years in and the guy is just starting to think how to do his job???
Ladies and germs, I give you the Biden Administration in a nut shell.
Well, when you’re not doing anything and stuff goes to scheitt around you, you start thinking you may have to appear to look like you’re doing something...
THS GUY IS A MORON ON STEROIDS!!!!
This was no big deal.
Pete needs to have and use ‘big ears’ so transportation problems remain small.
