To add insult to injury, Buttigieg had also tried to blame the East Palestine train disaster on former President Donald Trump by falsely claiming that he is “constrained by law on some areas of rail regulation,” citing a “braking rule” that was withdrawn in 2018, under the Trump administration.
But this claim is false, because even if that particular rule would have gone into effect, it wouldn’t have affected the train that derailed in East Palestine on February 3. Even a member of Biden’s own administration called Buttigieg’s assertion “misinformation.”
On Thursday, it was revealed that President Trump plans to visit East Palestine next week. After that information came to light, it was announced that FEMA (which had previously considered the Ohio town ineligible for federal assistance) will now be deployed to East Palestine.

OK, a Republican state senator, from a state where the national regime has allowed a major disaster to take place and run on for weeks without Federal assistance, calls for a responsible Federal official to lose his job for negligence . . . while said Federal official is a Leftist protected class. NOTHING is going to happen to Buttigieg. And to be honest, I expect the late presence of FEMA to be just for show.
