Biden's NTSB says that Pete Buttigieg spread disinformation about East Palestine; he needs to go | Washington Examiner

This isn't my opinion. These are the facts, as stated by Joe Biden's own administration.
Pete Buttigieg's first reaction to the train crash in East Palestine, Ohio, was to lie in an effort to cast the blame on someone else. He asserted that the crash had occurred because of a regulatory decision that occurred during the Trump administration. And his assertion was a lie.
NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy told the public in a series of tweets on Thursday that the board was doing everything in its power to figure out what went wrong in East Palestine, Ohio, and how to avoid any future derailments.
Homendy highlighted an argument about the type of brakes the train supposedly would have had if the Department of Transportation wouldn't have withdrawn a rule under then-President Donald Trump. Current Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has pointed to that rule, saying it has constrained him and his department.
However, Homendy pointed out that regardless of whether the rule was in effect or not, the train traveling through East Palestine that derailed on Feb. 3 wouldn't have had the brakes.
The only question now is, why does the Biden administration tolerate a cabinet secretary who deliberately spreads disinformation on social media? Should the NTSB have to debunk falsehoods from the actual transportation secretary? No, of course not.
Buttigieg is incompetent and dishonest. He needs to be fired yesterday.

And here all along liberals have seemed concerned about the spread of disinformation.
Now we know it just depends on who is doing it and what their goals are.
Its all about controlling the initial narrative that gains all the attention, which is always Trump Trump Trump.
The corrections that come later rarely get any traction.
When the guy who wrote this article publicly tells Trump to get the fuck out of American politics and dont let the door hit you on the ass on your way out , I will pay a little attention to what he says. Not a moment sooner. The same goes for the rest of you who say you will vote for Trump as the "lesser of two evils". He is soon to be indicted for multiple crimes related to trying to overthrow our government and you people are still considering voting for him.
Until then I dont give a rats ass about Buttigieg.

But hey, on the plus side, you did manage yet again to work Trump into it so I am sure you feel better now.

So all you can do is rag about Trump while ignoring the article.

You've been saying this for two years, but here we are......nothing.
Ho hum
Your massive TDS is showing again.
Trump has nothing to do with this.
This is completely about Brandon's check the box unqualified administration fucking everything up. When are you going to held them accountable.
As for criminal charges- buckle up butter cup Brandon is looking at his own for pay for play and mishandling documents since he was a Senator.
Trump is the lesser of two evils. No more hiding in the basement for Brandon the Human Fuck Up Machine. His chickens are coming home to roost.
And just who do you think gives a rats ass who you read or believe? I certainly don't
Before opening his mouth and blaming Trump, Buttigieg needed to do his Infrastructure homework: Did this chemical catastrophe occur due to brake malfunction or axles and rails in disrepair?
Mayor Pete is just another inept lackey who fits the diversity boxes of the Biden Administration and blames everyone but himself. He's not the first and won't be the last.
Fox News is a disgraced network with no credibility, or havent you heard.
If you have even the tiniest shred of info that proves any of this false, provide it.
Otherwise, whining about the source is not acceptable.

My seed, either provide proof or stop whining,
Provide proof that Fox News is a disgraced network?
Read todays news.
Please don't be obtuse.
If you have something disproving this article, provide it or just stop the damn whining about the source.
The first wil never happen.....the second will continue on forever.

Buttigieg is only following the Biden administration playbook. Offer thoughts and prayers, cast blame, feed litigation, seek criminal charges, and call for more regulation. Buttigieg isn't actually doing anything.
Trump didn't cause the derailment. And Trump can't do anything about it because Biden is President. Biden wanted the title but apparently Biden didn't want the job.
I'm sure that at one time in his life he was cognizant enough to know that he wanted the title and job, but since he's called Harris the POTUS at least 5 times in the past 2 years, it's obvious that he doesn't even know that he now has the title and job.
Confusion reigns!
Confusion, chaos, and failures reign, IMO.
Get rid of him, but we need to seriously look at our rail infrastructure for multiple reasons.
What does infrastructure have to do with anything? Independent reports points to a bad wheel bearing on one of the rail cars. The wheel bearing likely overheated and welded itself so the wheel couldn't turn. The derailment wasn't caused by a problem with the roadbed. And it appears the derailment wasn't caused by brakes, either.
Sorry, the rail owns, operates, and is responsible for the upkeep and expansion of the tracks.
Now if the government wants to declare imminent domain and allow the rail to make the necessary improvements without the state, local, and EPA having a say- I am sure the upgrades would be done. Derailments like this one cost the rail line a ton of money and bad publicity. Good luck to anyone agreeing to it. NIMBY's are everywhere.
Look at all the problems California is having getting their high speed rail even started.
Florida's high speed rail manage to get completed; but it is a danger.
Yep. The guy couldn’t even run South Bend effectively. How in the hell is he going to handle the Dept of Transpo? Crazy stuff.
He isn't called Pothole Pete for nuthin'!
