Pete Buttigieg admits he got it wrong on the Ohio train derailment response.
But while the criticism is fair, he says, the critics are mostly not. “It’s really rich to see some of these folks – the former president, these Fox hosts – who are literally lifelong card-carrying members of the East Coast elite, whose top economic policy priority has always been tax cuts for the wealthy, and who wouldn’t know their way around a T.J.
EPA head Michael Regan is the one whose agency has actually taken the lead on the response to the East Palestine derailment – including signing off on the since-questioned decision to do a controlled burn of some of the hazardous materials – but few in Washington or beyond could pick him out of a crowd. Instead, it’s Buttigieg at the center of the attention and the one being blamed.
