Buttigieg knocks 'East Coast elite' over criticism of East Palestine train derailment response [View all]
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg fired back at Republican criticism over his response to the derailment of a train carrying toxic chemicals in East Palestine, Ohio, blasting his critics as “card-carrying members of the East Coast elite.”
“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. Maxx if their life depended on it, to be presenting themselves as if they genuinely care about the forgotten middle of the country,” Buttigieg said in an interview with CNN.
Buttigieg has come under fire for a series of transportation woes, most recently the derailment in Ohio, which has caused mounting environmental and public health problems.
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) became one of the latest Republicans to pile on Buttigieg late last week, arguing the cabinet official was “not ready for the responsibility he has.” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) has called for Buttigieg’s resignation.
