Rep. Jim Jordan Questions Biden’s Hiring of Pete Buttigieg Amid East Palestine Fallout

Whatever way you look at it, it's clear Mayor Pete is simply not qualified for the position, with apparently no background in transportation and a work ethic that is questionable at best. It's not a stretch to surmise that his main qualification to run the Transportation Department for the largest economy on the planet is that he played with a model train set as a kid. Townhall

Jordan questions Biden's hiring of Pete Buttigieg amid East Palestine fallout: 'no transportation experience' (msn.com)   "Why did President Joe Biden ever choose Pete Buttigieg to lead the Department of Transportation? That’s exactly what Rep. Jim Jordan took to Twitter to ask on Friday as Buttigieg continues to face criticism for his handling — or lack of — a train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.

Buttigieg dodges questions while his press secretary refuses to be on camera in East Palestine | Fox News

. . ."During his first trip to East Palestine, Ohio, to survey the site of the catastrophic train derailment, U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg ignored reporters’ questions while his press secretary unsuccessfully attempted to handle the media.

"The press secretary, Kerry Arndt, proceeded to get flustered upon realizing that the journalists were going to record her answers on video, demanding several times that they turn off the cameras or she would not answer any of their queries.

"The tense exchange was captured on camera by Turning Point USA's Savannah Hernandez Thursday morning after Buttigieg arrived at the afflicted Ohio town.". . .

Give the Boot to Mayor Pete and Diversity Hiring (townhall.com)   "OK, everyone – we've had enough at this point. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg finally traveled to East Palestine, Ohio, after almost three weeks of inaction on the railroad derailment and subsequent catastrophic chemical spill there. 

"While on the ground, and wearing dress shoes, Mayor Pete gave platitudes about the reason he had not traveled there earlier, and failed to address why his boss, President Biden, took the time to fly to Ukraine rather than visiting the residents impacted by the derailment.

"Buttigieg walked away from a reporter asking about his delay in traveling to the area, leaving his press secretary to rescue him, who in turn refused to answer the reporter’s questions, instead calling them “aggressive.”

"This was at least an improvement from the transportation secretary’s media dodge outside his home in Washington the night before, where he invoked “personal time” to avoid answering similar questions about his weeks-long refusal to visit the site of the spill.". . .
