Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg acknowledged Tuesday that he "could have spoken sooner" about the disastrous Norfolk Southern train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, that has caused serious health and environmental concerns because of the hazardous chemicals it was transporting.

"I have followed the normal practice of transportation secretaries in the early days after a crash, allowing NTSB to lead the safety work and staying out of their way," he said. "But I am very eager to have conversations with people in East Palestine about how this is impacted them."

Buttigieg on Tuesday also responded to former President Donald Trump's scheduled visit Wednesday to East Palestine. Trump has criticized the federal government's response.
"I don't know what he's planning to do there," Buttigieg said.

Liar. They just wanted to ignore a problem in Trump territory.
He’s always in a prim and snippy mood.
Just go and change the nappies.
I guess “day one” started right after Trump said he was going. Until then, Pete dismissed this as just another one of the 1000 train wrecks that happen every year.
The glib Sodomite lies slickly.
And punishment for failing this lesson should be a 15 year time out in a federal penitentiary.
Federal "Pound Me In the Ass" Prison.
If he’s being honest it is a rare thing for a politician to admit they screwed up
Pretty sure he’d like that, being a “catcher” in the ..
Had something else in his mouth
I hope the little sissy fag gets booed as soon as he gets out of the plane.
C’mon, man! Give Petey a break. There are 3 train derailments a day per his own figures. Between pumping milk and running the DOT, there’s not enough hours in the day!
If you look what he said, its not really much of an actual admission of screw up at all.
I could have said something sooner.
Wow. What an admission.
He’s still spreading misinformation.
Buttedge is a Globalist World Economic Forum traitor and plant. He is exposed, they all are now... time to take out the trash.
Oh. Everybody waiting for him to “speak out”. No investigation, no material aid from FEMA. But we’re all hanging on Butty’s every word.
Buttplug has one job...
