Has Pete Buttigieg done anything right?
According to a report from Just The News, GOP lawmakers want embattled Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to resign or possibly face impeachment. Buttigieg’s botched response in East Palestine is just the latest in a long line of failures for former Mayor Pete.
From Just The News:
“Amidst an impending possible rail strike last year, Secretary Buttigieg left the country to vacation in Portuguese wine country,” [Senator Marco] Rubio wrote to President Biden. “Near misses in commercial aviation, as well as recent system failures, including the one that shutdown air travel in Florida in January, indicate that serious and persistent problems across the DOT are not being sufficiently remedied. I do not have confidence that Secretary Buttigieg is capable of keeping the American people safe.”
…
Rubio isn’t the only lawmaker calling on Buttigieg to resign.
“His negligent mishandling of numerous transportation disasters and alleged misuse of government resources deem him unfit,” said Tennessee GOP Rep. John Rose.
At the state level in Ohio, lawmakers, including GOP state Rep. Michael Rulli, want Buttigieg to resign too.
“The people in East Palestine had their water, air, and soil poisoned,” he wrote on Twitter. “Pete Buttigieg’s only response was to spin and say it wasn’t a big deal. He’s not doing his job. He needs to resign. Now.”
Ohio Republican Rep. Warren Davidson hasn’t ruled out impeachment.
“I hope he does resign, and if he doesn’t, you know, there’s a long list of impeachment criteria,” Davidson said. “I never would have thought we’d see a point where we need to impeach a secretary of transportation, but daggone, how many failures have to happen on his watch before we call it?”
