Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg copped bipartisan heat Monday when he failed to address the catastrophic Ohio train derailment which released toxic chemicals into the air this month — but joked about Chinese spy balloons and moaned about a lack of diversity in the construction industry.

“It’s had its challenges. I mean, if you look at what the American transportation systems have faced in the last two or three years partly because of the pandemic, we’ve faced issues from container shipping to airline cancellations … Now we got balloons,” the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, awkwardly joked.
But the one-time presidential candidate’s cringey attempt at humor went down like a lead balloon.
“Nobody thinks this is funny,” Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) raged in a tweet Monday, sharing a video of the Cabinet member’s quip.

Dues this little Twit do anything other than go om maternity leave?
Dues=Does
Mayor Butt is working to shore up his support in the African American community. Not enough minorities affected by the derailment.
Still, I wonder why this story is going away. What aren’t we being told?
This may be the biggest environmental disaster since Chernobyl.
The Railroads are 100% responsible for the near extinction of the Bison and the Post-Civil War genocide of the native Americans, but the history books wont bring that up either.
The enemedia will cover this up all they can.
The railroads can get away with murder because they are firmly deep state
If it was Ukraine maybe it would get some attention.
Ask his butt-buddy.
If you dare ...
To call pete creepy doesn’t fully explain how grotesque he is.
The derailment was caused by a broken axle, and the locals seem to be in control. They probably don’t want mayor pete anywhere near.
A silly, disgusting little man child.
buttigig or whatever, another loser. this is the guy that would get driven to within a 1/4 mile of the media cameras in DC, would get out of his chaffeur driven suv and get on a bike for the final leg of his commute, leaving the impression he rides his bike from his home.
Isn’t that just wonderful.
These perverts are governing our nation.
May a merciful God help us.
Please.
The railroads can get away with murder because they are firmly deep state
Read some US railroad history. Inflexible over-regulation by the ICC and FRA in the first 3/4ths of the 20th century almost put all the private railroads out of business. The claim about 100% responsibility for genocide and bison extinction is ludicrous.
At least the Italian Fascists made the trains run on time. Ours can’t.

Butt plugging is a major qualification for his job.
Unqualified leaders hire unqualified staff.
No one in the biden team is competent.
