BREAKING: Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg blames rail deregulation for the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. MORE:

this is a flat out lie!

Regulations that democrats had 2 years to update to their standards Instead they chose pronoun regulation

What is the reason you and the Big Guy have ignored it for two+weeks?

Deregulation didn't cause the safety issue. Mismanagement and unsafe conditions did that. And it was Biden that stopped the rail workers strike that centered on fixing all that. Train was burning for 45 minutes before it reached east Palestine. Where was transportation Dept?

He doesn't seem to take responsibility for anything. Not even his job.

The regulations that was changed would have not prevented this accident do the Dems always have to lie

The Biden Administration and Mayor Pete forced Railroad Workers back to work short-handed, forcing workers to bow to Railroad Company's wishes.

Why didn’t they reinstate those regulations? They’ve had two years to do so.

Also, just like the rest of the @POTUS administration. @PeteButtigieg Mr. ATM has no accountability for his horrible, equity based, performance, in regard to his "job." Always blaming others. That's what libs do, point fingers, talk, and put Americans last!

So, he should have been on top of the regulations and looked into fixing rails. He is more interested in breastfeeding than doing his job. Real women can do both.
