Cruz thinks Pete Buttigieg is terrible at his job.
During the most recent episode of his podcast The Verdict, Texas Senator Ted Cruz unloaded on embattled Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg for his failings in East Palestine (and elsewhere).
“Look, it is ridiculous that Joe Biden has not been to East Palestine yet,” Cruz said. “You literally have an American city with a major derailment that was on fire, where the water is being poisoned, where the air is being poisoned, where it’s ongoing for multiple days, and this administration does not give a damn.”
Cruz suspects the Biden Administration’s lack of action is due to the location: it’s Trump country.
“And it’s clear their attitude. Look, it’s all politics all the time. It’s all communications and PR all the time,” he said. “And so going there is a bad message. And it really is striking.”
“What in the hell does Pete Buttigieg have to do to get fired?” Cruz said. “Like in the history of this country, has there ever been a transportation secretary who has screwed more things up? From in his first year in office, a supply chain crisis that impacted the entire country that made it hard to get basics and essentials?”
