Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Tuesday spoke to ABC’s George Stephanopoulos about the Ohio train derailment and toxic disaster.
Buttigieg still hasn’t visited East Palestine.
Biden is too busy hanging out with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“About 50 cars, including 10 carrying hazardous materials, derailed in a fiery crash on Feb. 3 in East Palestine, Ohio. Vinyl chloride was later released into the air from five of those cars before crews ignited it to get rid of the highly flammable, toxic chemicals in a controlled environment, creating a dark plume of smoke.”

The biggest disaster was his mayoralty. Couldn't he see this coming in using the word disaster and citing his eight years in office? What a dumb ass. He could have just as well said, "What, me worry?"

Referring to The Peter Principle, Mayor Pete has finally attained his maximum level of incompetence.

As small town mayor, he dealt with all sorts of disasters like cats stuck in trees, high school kids kissing behind the bleachers, people not coming to a full and complete stop and sometimes there was serious crimes like littering!
He's totally qualified to handle this. You do you, Pete, we got your back!

Add my name to the growing group of commenters who ask if Mayor Pete is admitting that he was one of the disasters that befell South Bend.

He was as incompetent as mayor as he is as Transportation Secretary. Mayor Pete is a caricature of gay Affirmative Action, actually Alfred E. Neuman comes to mind.

Yeah, really big disasters, like the time three of the city's snow plows broke down or that time a baby puked on his suit right before a big speech to the Rotary club. Yep, he's seen it all.

Wasn’t he called Pothole Pete for not even managing to fix the potholes in South Bend? He’s useless.

Butt, Pete, you couldn't fill the potholes. You failed as Mayor, Pete. The citizens of South Bend know that.

Oh yeah....he jumped right on the famous Southbend/Mishawaka train disaster, somewhere between 40-90 dead, many never found, remember it like it was yesterday
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Bend_train_wreck
since 1950 there has been 80 tornadoes within 50 miles, several floods(one in 2018), 25 blizzards, some Ice storms...and a Biz Jet that crashed into a house. Only that last one is even remotely similar to this Ohio issue, and even that would be a stretch.

Being a mayor doesn’t equip one for larger jobs when you’re as lazy and incompetent as Pete is.

He was a do-nothing mayor in South Bend, IN and has no accomplishments whatsoever. This so-called "guy" is a total loser for any public office, no matter how menial.

MY memory is the disaster was Mayor Pete, who had to get Pizza Hut on board financially to take care of the pot holes in this SMALL town. This is what happens when you put someone in office simply because he checks a box! Kamala as well! (Plus that butt ugly trans woman as head of I am not even certain what---NO qualifications for any of them.)

Right butt keek, and you were the biggest disaster for that town. Memo to your brain, if you have one, which I doubt, they did not like you, they hated you! Resign you self-absorbed Swine!
