Immediately, Twitchy favorite, Comfortably Smug, reminded tweeps of who exactly is in charge of federal transportation issues, Pete Buttigieg.
Another Mayor Pete achievement. @ComfortablySmug https://t.co/y2xiqdJB8k

Dem country? He’ll be there today. Might be on the way right now.

With PA being a blue state, I’m sure this will be cleaned up ASAP. Now let’s revisit Ohio for a moment…

Watch the Dems scramble to get aid to the area!

I bet Biden shows up for this one, PA is a swing state, OH is Trump Country so he didn’t care about East Palestine

He certainly wouldn't show up in a 'red' area like Ohio. We saw how he handled that derailment disaster.
He’s baaaaaaaaaack. pic.twitter.com/1YJ4mbu8g3

“Please, not now, I’m on personal time and it’s date night with my husband, we’ve got a sitter and everything.” - Mayor Pete

Buttigieg should not be president of his local neighborhood association much less the President of the United States.
Are we sure we have enough minority train engineers? I’m beginning to think this must be the problem with all these derailments. We need to know if the conductor was white.

If it’s good for pilots it’s got to be good for trains. Diversity is our strength.
The scary thing is this is actually something Pete might say.
He's merely the victim of a homophobic rail system.
— Giles Goat-Boy (@Sherman8758) July 17, 2023
Why do the trains hate Pete so much?
The Biden Administration may act like a fascist regime, but at least they make the railroads derail on time.

I imagine Mayor Pete sitting around and every time the phone rings, he's like Dr. Nick in The Simpsons:

"The coroner!? I'm so sick of that guy.
Oh, such a nice day. I think I'll go out the window."
Wow, his term as Secretary of Transportation IS a literal train wreck.
— Uncle Sham (@Gr8fl_Bd) July 17, 2023
Literally.
With all the train derailments, Mayor Pete is going to convince voters that Democrats can't be trusted to manage our rail system.

Harsh, but fair.

It would be great if we had a Transportation Secretary who would ensure our rails are safe for travel. What a concept.
Pete Buttigieg really sucks at his job.
— Tired of being politically correct (@USBornNRaised) July 17, 2023
Well, he's a Democrat, so that explains it.
Perhaps it would be more newsworthy at this point to just let us know on days this *doesn’t* occur.
— CopperTop Dan (@DefinitiveSVST) July 17, 2023
That's the sad truth of it all. Perhaps, our esteemed news organizations could also start holding Secretary Pete to task.
