Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and the White House are pointing fingers at everyone but themselves as they defend the Biden administration’s handling of the toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.
“What I tried to do is balance two things—my desire to be involved and engaged and on the ground, which is how I am generally wired to act, and my desire to follow the norm of transportation secretaries, allowing NTSB to really lead the initial stages of the public-facing work,” Buttigieg said.
Homendy warned on Feb. 16 that anyone seeking to connect the derailment to the regulation is guilty of “spreading misinformation.”
And so what’s happened here is they’ve picked a political target.
And they’ve just beaten that drum as often as they can, despite facts.”
