Despite even some Democrats criticizing Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's response to the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment, the Washington Post chose to ignore that and focus in on Republicans who are "seizing" (formerly "pouncing") on the accident to attack poor Buttigieg. Reporters Yasmeen Abutaleb, Ian Duncan, and Justine McDaniel acted more as a Buttiegieg defense team than as journalists on Wednesday in "Republicans seize on train derailment to go after Buttigieg."

    According to the WaPo, Mayor Pete can have multiple failures as Transportation Secretary but don't you dare criticize him if you are a Republican.

    He’ll take the train. And any other objects he can cram into there.

    You can identify the worst transportation officials — at the state and Federal levels — based on how much news coverage they get. 
 The best of them are the ones you never hear about — to the point where you forget they’re even there. 
 Butt-fudge may go down as the absolute worst of my lifetime.

    I don’t see how anyone can defend the idea that it was ok for the Transportation Secretary to basically ignore a major transportation disaster for weeks.
It is unconscionable that it took him weeks to visit the area. Perhaps he was afraid of angry crowds or maybe even breathing the air.

    Buttigieg brought this all onto himself as he is totally inept. His political record speaks for itself. The Post needs to get their facts straight.

    Somebody needs to do it. The boy isn’t doing anything to earn his paycheck and all of those government employee benefits. Time for his “pink” slip. Which makes me want to ask, why are men issued a “pink” slip when they are fired? Why not a blue slip?

    Reality is going after that loser and the Washington Post blames Republicans.
