Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg had sharp words for the chorus of Republican-led critics to his response to the toxic train derailment in East Palestine.
, Buttigieg offered his most vociferous defense to date, seeking to rebut claims that the Biden administration doesn't care about the blue-collar town by casting his detractors as the ones truly out of touch.
While in East Palestine, Trump praised local responders and said, "What this community needs now are not excuses ... but answers and results.""That's bull----," Buttigieg told CNN. "We were already going to go." Buttigieg has been the target of a fusillade of conservative attacks since last month's train derailment and concerns over the spread of the noxious chemicals that were on board.
