Ohio residents are pissed at Pete.
According to a Fox News report, Wednesday night’s town hall meeting in East Palestine, Ohio erupted as concerned residents wanted to know the whereabouts of MIA Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
Mayor Trent Conaway was fielding questions.
From Fox News:
“Where’s Pete Buttigieg? Where’s he at?” one man asked Mayor Trent Conaway.
“I don’t know. Your guess is as good as me,” the mayor replied.
He told attendees that Tuesday was the first time he had “heard anything from the White House.”
In a Wednesday letter to Buttigieg, Republican Sens. Marco Rubio and J.D. Vance wrote to request information from his department regarding oversight of the freight train system and other concerns. The senators gave the secretary 30 days to respond.
Buttigieg had tweeted on Tuesday that the department was “constrained by law on some areas of rail regulation (like the braking rule withdrawn by the Trump administration in 2018 because of a law passed by Congress in 2015), but we are using the powers we do have to keep people safe.”
On Wednesday night, responding to tweets from GOP Sen. Ted Cruz and Democratic Sen. Ilhan Omar, Buttigieg said he was “glad to see newfound bipartisan agreement” over the issue.

The Department of Transportation noted to Fox News Digital on Thursday morning that the National Transportation Safety Board is the lead investigator in the incident and that the Transportation Department is in a supporting role. The department added that the Federal Railroad Administration and Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration were on the ground within hours of the derailment.

Buttigieg has now officially blown an international shipping crisis, a rail strike, an FAA airline disaster, and a toxic train derailment.
Pete Buttigieg is bad at his job.
Breitbart News asked Ohio residents what should be done about Pete —it didn’t go so well.
