Buttigieg: ‘Ironic’ Trump Visited East Palestine After He Deregulated

Breitbart ^ | 23 Feb 2023 | PAM KEY

[OttawaFreeper]

Being Democrat means always blaming someone else.

[Celerity]

Does it really serve a Democrat argument to compare 2016 voting with 2020 voting?

It clearly states that no one wanted Biden.. even those that didn’t vote for Trump.

[bray]

Liars lie.

[Hattie]

Had nothing to do with regulation. Something about wheel.

[TakebackGOP]

I read this article. It is useless. It doesn’t refute anything Pete says, which is why I don’t read Breitbart.

[SaxxonWoods]

That’s another lie.

The regulation didn’t apply to all trains. The train that derailed would not have been under the canceled regulation anyway so the charge makes no sense.

This used to be called a red herring.

[G Larry]

Oh, Really? You hapless moron!

Which "regulation" did the Trump administration strike down that contributed to this NS derailment?

[Tell It Right]

I respectfully disagree. There is a relevant piece of information in the article. It points out that this county voted 71% for Trump.

That tells us why the Dim Biden administration is slow in assisting.

[Steely Tom]

The regulation didn’t apply to all trains. The train that derailed would not have been under the canceled regulation anyway so the charge makes no sense.

I won't be holding my breath until someone on our side — even someone on Trump's team, even Trump — deigns to offer up this (or any) rebuttal to Buttigieg.

[TexasFreeper2009]

Secretary ButtPlug sais what?

who cares.

[Yo-Yo]

Ironic that Buttplug doesn't understand that the Obama era 2015 regulation that Trump cancelled based on a GAO report critical of the DOT rule before it went into effect wouldn't have made any difference in the East Palestine derailment.

[Darksheare]

Funny thing, the derailment was in no way related to deregulation.
NoSteam had plenty in the maintenance budget.
And maintenance regs still exist.

[jpp113]

And that is the real question that should be asked of petey buttplug by conservative journalists “aggressively on camera”

[who knows what evil?]

Resign, Secretary Buttplug...

[Kazan]

If Trump’s deregulation was the problem, why didn’t Biden and the Democrats, who were in control of Congress for two years, reinstate the rule that they claim would have prevented the derailment in East Palestine?

[Yo-Yo]

[Quentin Quarantino]

Shameful Bootiegig infant shits his speedo yet again.

[Jay W]

So, how come last year when the Democrats in the House and the Democrats and the Assistant Democrats (GOP) in the Senate passed that thousands of pages long Omnibus Bill they didn’t change those laws or policies from several years ago? How come Biden and Buttigieg didn’t exercise whatever existing authority they have to deal with this problem?

Aside from who or what’s to blame, how come the federal government (Biden and Butigieg) hasn’t spoken out about this, sent the necessary full complements of clean up crews, sent federal aid, sent drinking water or spent any attention at all on those poor souls in East Palestine? Did Trump block them from trying to fix or ameliorate the problem?

[newzjunkey]

They were too busy fixing other things Trump broke? /s

This is ridiculous deflection on mayor Pete’s part.
