Mayor Pete would have never visited the town if it wasn't for Trump making a stop yesterday. Transportation Secretary? What a freaking joke!

[jasonvoss]

The people of Flint called they'd like their case reopened federally

How embarrassing to get shamed into doing your job for the taxpayers and then trying to spin it into something beneficial to your agenda. Awkward.
Pete: “What’s that smell?”
First Responder: “Embarrassment, I think.”

[MelsML]

Only because President Trump had already been there.

"We will support them with everything we've got"

Just what does that look like PETE???

Does his Mommy know he's playing construction man today? 👷‍♂️

Lmao these people give a speach just for giving a speach and once they are out of there they already forgot what they said...

"Any authorities that he has in the matter" He is the U.S. Secretary of Transportation. He is the authority over Norfolk Southern.

Butters runs away from a female reporter, refuses to answer questions. His female press sec says she will take questions only if the camera is turned off, that was a lie, no questions were taken. The other day in DC he again refused to answer hard questions he demanded a photo with a female journalist that was asking tough questions to intimidate her..His press conference in East Palestine was 100% garbage, saying that politics should not enter into this tragedy but he spent the last 3 weeks blaming trump. The worst part is he came very early 7 to 8am so he would never have to meet any towns people, he scuttled in and out real quick...this guy is off the scale of useless...its all about image and power...new age Communist, zero accountability, refuse any questions they dont like.

What a disgrace America last with this administration

[dillonkayser]

Pete is a talented politician. Excellent at walking the party line, speaking on behalf of the party & saving face. All in all, he’s a poor leader and our transportation sector as a whole has been terrible since he took the position.

[crosseyedgeorge]

Leading from behind, because that's what he likes, behind.

[LDBoone]

Didnt see him talking to the mayor or the people. Same old rhetoric. Lies lies lies

[Kick_Rocks]

A day late, and a dollar short LITERALLY. Those people need to be evacuated from the area A.S.A.P.

[willcox]

A bit late in showing up like you were a bit late in even acknowledging the matter - and then doing so by adding that trail derailments happen a thousand times per year. Nothing to see here folks. It is interesting that the government chose this particular town to issue electronic medical devices to track their health in January.

[occamselectricrazor]

now he can get back to re-naming all of those racist highways and roads. the really important stuff

[loriann]

If he went there after trump, it makes him look like a bigger loser 😕

Johnny Come Lately. A Day Late and a $ Short. President Trump 2024.

[GeorgeSpencer]

A day late and a dollar short, Buttigieg 😂 all he can say is uh, uh uh, and copy Trump. All talk no action!

I don’t sense any empathy here. Is it a bot?
