- Nearly three weeks after the Ohio train derailment occurred, U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg visited East Palestine on Thursday where he toured the site and spoke with members of the community.
During a late-morning press conference, Buttigieg said the resiliency and decency of the East Palestine community has "has been inspiring."
"The really striking thing to me is how they’re here for each other," Buttigieg said. "This is not a community with infinite resources. Speaking with the mayor, hearing about what he has been through and remembering the experience of being a mayor, I am really impressed with how they’ve been able to support one another. They’re not here for the politics. They’re here to make sure this community can move forward.”
He said he wants the community to know they are not alone.
“Before, during and after the national attention, they’re going to have support. They’re going to have support from us when it comes to holding Norfolk Southern accountable. They’re going to have support from the EPA when it comes to making sure they get accurate information about the safety of their air, water and soil. I think they ought to have support from the whole country that has seen what they’ve been through. … The point is to make sure they’re taken care of for the long run.”

Pete looks worried..he doesn't believe anything he's saying now 🧐
You actually believed anything he said before 🤣🤯 Speaks novels. Maybe you'll vote Democrat again.. Zero doubts that you won't.
this man is unbelievable and eats his own words...
He has a husband. Chew on that.
@@SpecialAgentNoble77 moral deprivation here - can America 🇺🇸 come back? We have these types in so many positions of leadership under O'biden
He would not be here if Trump was going first. 🙄
Words of wisdom 👍
There you have it. ASS HAT
Ole pete had to be shaking in her boots when her husband found out
He should have been there much sooner
Yeah ..I'm guessing he was making sure the area didn't have radiation 🧐
Yeah like day 2 ! Fire this clown !
Only went because Trump went first so he had no choice.
He's too busy loving up on his husband.
Isn't she on paternity leave
It's ok Pete. Go back to maternity leave. Big daddy T already took care of it.
Yeah such a joke really he isn’t needed at all
I bet he smells 🤮
Yep!
Trump brought McDonald's and water bottles👏👏
🤣🤣🤣👍
Maybe now is the time for WE THE PEOPLE to take back our government from corrupt politicians on both sides before it is really too late. This tragedy should not be left in the hands of any politician. This is beyond politics. Way beyond.
They are destroying mother nature and killing poor wildlife all on purpose. Chemtrails everyday.
They forgot the fake air raid siren😂
@@bensam2367 Unavoidable smog from the radiation we are all being subjected to whether we like it or not. A large group of people is being victimized by this. Not wanting to sound like this is the end but really, is it? because that's what it looks like from where I am. I agree, they are. But then again how much responsibility do we take. We all drank the cool aide.
You can't make someone care @ something they give a deuce about! FJB
@@marydavis4677you do realize that the phrases "true patriots", "we the people", and "convention of states" have all be coopted by disinformation bots to mark people (mostly baby boomers) as insurrectionists? This really isn't a political matter. It's been made one. Politics go out the window when lives are on the line. That being said, yes. All of these people in this administration need replaced. They've proven themselves biased, agenda driven, and ineffective.
What a disgrace to show up this late and only after he was forced to by Trump showing up yesterday. I noticed he had to get in a dig at Trump, who had the temerity to show Petey for the do-nothing he is.
The response may have been late but Trump is a complete moron (as history has shown) so I would not use the Donald to make any salient and cohesive point.
@@cesarjom And Buttigieg is a narcissist and incapable of expressing compassion for average folks. That's my salient and cohesive point.
You do know that Trump rolled back the requirements for the trains to have better braking systems, right?
@@jasonlaurain5119 what do brakes have to do with a train detailing? If they weren't applying brakes at the time of the accident why would it matter? You're just parroting some buzz words you heard without any real thought if that actually makes sense ...
@@MinimaxDieselDude Seems pretty simple to me to understand. The accident report says that a bearing failed, the engineer tried to slow the train by applying brakes, the train didn't stop quickly enough, then derailed. Maybe you should quit huffing diesel fumes and read some of the information that is widely available about this accident.
He should be fired!!!! Any private citizen would loose their job.
*lose
@billkammermeier - who cares you know the point he was making - what were mayor pete qualifications for this job anyway??
@@vikeirishman Seriously? Google it.
@@vikeirishman He was fruity in the booty Pete from south Bend over Indiana no other qualification for the job just another affirmative action hire.
This administration is a joke, focused on "woke ideology" versus "We the people".....
They forgot the fake air raid siren😂
lol...good one
His husband was riding around on top of a pinto yelling, "Pull ova! PULL OVA!!"
It's too late, go home
He saw that black mushroom cloud of death and was like no way dude. See ya in a few weeks.
He has no idea what he's doing!
Here's the problem.......we're expecting our leadership who aren't ever held accountable to hold corporations and anyone else accountable.....it's a joke......on us....
Republicans are the ones who want less government regulations, and that’s what you got with the last administration, all rail safety regulations were cut, and this is what you got, now you all want handouts for your own doing. Socialism sucks eh!
Money talks. Citizens walk and suffer.
WTF were his credentials anyway - a fricken mayor to the head of our transportation!!!! Were screwed
I don't trust the guy. Wanting to take a photo of a journalist who was asking him too many questions
soooo creepy
yep, my thoughts as well...
What about that stunt yesterday was about with Trump.
Its called intimidation
I agree. Taking a selfie to discourage the deeper communication from journalist. Defensive/ Deflation mode. That's what Pete did.
Oh good he brought words with him, how caring of him
Department of Constipation is a regular Johnny-On-The-Spot.
Pete: I would've but between struggling with Postpartum Depression, Breast Feeding and Personal Time. Oh and giving Ukraine more money we just didn't have time. #FJB
he's the woman in their deal? he must have been very upset
HE'S A LIAR 🤣
Doesn’t look like he has much of a crowd around him. Wonder why?
Town full of homophobes. Said in jest, joking but somebody is gonna say it and be serious.
They had to use a green screen to cover all the Trump signs.
@paulhare662 - F 'em we need to call out this perversion of reprobate minds..... given over to there own sin and sickness
You can hear the weakness in his voice. Weak men bring hard times.
Exactly he's the woman and proud of it
If Buttigieg thinks the water is fine: let him drink some for the cameras
My utmost respect for…..President DJ Trump !!!
Amen!
Yesssss almost 3 weeks after the tragedy!! Good campaign trail though.😂
Amen 🙏
@@doomsday8513 ….and “Brandon” didn’t bother…!!!
oh look who finally decided to show up
"I'm here to work" Imagine showing up 2 weeks late to your job. I would imagine most people would be fired. hhmm
three weeks late...
@@tamtam777 That's even more disgraceful for BootieJudge
@@kraven4444 yes it is lol and he acts like he some kind of hero when making his speech...
Mayor Pete looks as out of place standing at the scene of the train accident as, Mike Dukakis did riding in that tank!
Yeah faking the drinking water of the tap by your officials and then lying and saying how good it taste really show a support for the residents
Great job buddy
You just take care of everyone that has been exposed. Medically and financially!! And make damn sure it doesn't happen again. That's what America wants to hear, not lip service.
Yup
WAY TOO LATE FOR THAT, IF YOU WERE IN GROUND ZERO I THINK YOU WOULD NOT BE GIVING SUCH A SOFT RESPONSE THE REAL POSSIBILTY OF DEVELOPING CANCER.
@@Khultan yes his smirking and light speech literally does nothing. These people are true evil
@@sarah29880 His time as mayor of Idaho has residents over there complaining that he was doing nothing as far away from improving anything, as well.
Three weeks this Secretary Of Transportation was MIA and AWOL and devoted 24/7 focusing his propaganda campaign attacking businesses and linking them to according to him white males only hiring.
In my opinion, this miserable fellow is pandering to ignoramus Blacks as a cover to promote and shield his homosexual behavior.
There he goes blaming Trump again
Trump didn't roll back train brake safety regulations?
He had to get a dig in at Trump, Petey has no class and never has had.
The rail company is owned by Blackrock. Which along with Vanguard and Haliburton need to be taken down and prosecuted for crimes against humanity. We all saw what happened with Evergreen. Same shit, different company. They all have a lot of explaining to do to we the people.
Should have just sent AOC, she probably knows as much about that job as he does.🤣
she would have yelled and blamed the people
word salad sandwich
Pete wearing construction clothes and hardhat reminded me of the construction guy in the village people.
Poser. Is - Was - Always will be. The world is a stage for the posers.
Just another day in his role playing lifestyle.
Except he's a decorated veteran. Maybe you forgot that part.
@@sherisnyder1387 Pete avoided boot camp - navy reserve - from his book 'military service was like a vacation' - 2 weeks per year active duty. What was he decorated for Sheri?
@Sheri Snyder Pete was well decorated at booty camp.
Drink the tap water Pete! Drink the whole glass, not take a fake sip!
Just like Obama did upon Flint, MI disaster.
Can I take a picture?? Why’d you ask the reporter that?
To ruin her life
So he can give that picture to Biden’s gestapo and add the name to a national registry of disinformation. These people in charge are just horrible.
TRUMP 2024!!
He's only there to tell people how good the NTSB and other agencies are. What a clown.
Incompetence at it's best. A sorry excuse for a transportation secretary.
Resign immediately Pete. You are not qualified.
*THREE WEEKS M.I.A.*
BS!
The typical Biden train
The railroad company is liable since they determine what freight is carried where. They need to pay damages until they are wiped out. That means paying for a new home in locations with the least disruption to their present lives......not FEMA CONCENTRATION CAMPS. And only a Pete Butthead would suggest that residents are warned when dangerous material is being transported through their town. That doesn't prevent derailments that significantly change their lives for the worst.
Ok bot
True to a point.
What was there first, the railroad or the town.
People have a choice to live or not in a are that is close to railroad tracks.
And did the town or towns have protocols in place in case of such a incident as this.
And don't tell me I don't know what I am talking about. I happen to live in a town that was built after the tracks were laid. The town built itself on both sides of the tracks. Or town also has protocols in place in case of a incident like this.
The rail company is owned by Blackrock. So in essence; it is they who is responsible for this mess. Blackrock along with Vanguard and Haliburton need to be taken down and prosecuted for crimes against humanity. We all saw what happened with Evergreen. Same shit, different company. They all have a lot of explaining to do to we the people. Time will tell. May God watch over all of this matter.
The NTSB, EPA, and FEMA bear responsibility as well as Norfolk Southern. The feds decided to blow up the train. This disaster would not have been nearly as bad if they had put out the fire and contained the chemicals.
500 MILLION DOLLARS SHOULD DO IT - OH WAIT THAT'S GONE TO ZELENSKI
He said so much.... but yet so little!
Where was her husband to support Peter pan
"They are all doing a great job" - so ridiculous! Suddenly there are "hundreds of people doing a great job" - NO THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE DOING A REALLY BAD JOB ABOUT THE US RAILWAY SYSTEM. So dumb! You cant improve bs!
Why does he have a constant grin ? Its strange.
Probably the toy. Up ...... ....
All the peoples health obviously isn’t even his concern….god these people just get worse and worse
Almost like he's laughing at everyone😡‼️
Hart goes out to Ohioans sorry to hear what has taken place in your community again and how long it's taken for key individuals to respond to your concerns, needs and solutions Pluss still waiting on Biden (Biden who) to answer all and everyone questions and concerns in person
Like why more important to go Ukraine? Spend $$$$$$$$$$$$$$'s we can use those $'s here at home there is so much wrong wrong wrong here
Starting here in Ohio,border,inflation,justice, administrations etc etc
Anyway GOD SPEEDY recovery for everyone in Ohio🙏
Alright, now Pete has to spend five minutes explaining the bureaucratic response to the situation to save face. What a weasel.
Day late and a dollar short Pete. The real president of the United States showed up yesterday. Pretty sad you were shamed in going to Ohio by the best president this country has known. The whole Brandon administration is weak and has just shown how much they care about the people of the United States of America. LETS GO BRANDON AND LETS GO PETE!
Pete wanted to get there sooner but he was too busy guzzling his husband in the bathroom of a Texas truck stop.
Not uh uh uh uh uh uh very uh uh uh uh heartfelt
WOW PETE HAS LEARNED THE ART OF WORD SALAD! HE'S A DAY LATE AND UNWANTED!
Kamala is rubbing on on him 🤣🤣
Where is my shovel it's getting deep.
Hip waders deep.
@@katsimmons1065 yes......
@@katsimmons1065 nice corresponding with you Kat my name is Kasey have an amazing day
Funny Pot-Hole Pete never said he talked to the people of the community just leaders!
Still waiting for Pete Buttigieg's apology for blaming Trump's rollback of proposed braking system regulations as the cause. Hey Pete, no brakes will help when the wheels fall off. Shouldn't transportation secretaries should understand this stuff and not lie to the American people for political purposes?
How many guys at that level know minutiae?
Trump said it best BOOT-EDGE EDGE 🤣🤣
Trump's hands have blood on them. His administration deregulated this industry.
HE HAS BEEN ON MATURNITY LEAVE FOR 3 WEEKS.
That is no excuse for this big of tragic ‼️
🤮 sick 🤮
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Go home Pete, let the adults handle it!
Sorry, why wasn't Pete Buttigieg onsite within hours of the derailment?
He ONLY came because of Trump being there yesterday. He should be fired.
Looks like to little to late
Pete is a day late and a dollar short.
He should have waited a year. Not
A random illegal immigrant gets more respect from this administration than a tax-paying citizen of Ohio. Just sad.
That's Ok , we already have heard from the real C.I.C.
If you believe that horse shit I have some land to sell ya
OMG what a liar!
Go home peter pan
I keep imagining that scene from space balls with the canned air.
do you believe on what he’s reading😂😂😂. Trump not reading anything what he’s saying is direct from his mind.
I really hope many people go down as a result of this.
Sounds like he’s mostly focused on showing he’s doing his job rather than focusing on the community
Allowing every train that passes through the derailment area to continue to carry that poison down the line ...
does he know how to work?
Now Pete can go on vacation or take personal time without guilt......
hes a day late and a brain short
We all know Mayor Pete was force to visit East Palestine, Ohio. I guarantee the residents could be two cents what he had to say.
Too late…I’m not even listening to this.
This Dem is full of ... you know what.
So now he's ready to work.........
Notice he not saying this around any people
he spends a lot of time talking about how hard HIS job is, nothing about the town's people's hard 3 weeks
He showed up late for work. It’s like a fireman showing up the day after the fire or a factory worker showing up at noon for his 8 o’clock shift.
Trump would have it cleaned up by now. did petes husband attend to support his wife? so the mayor of a small town is now HEAD of transportation? what are his qualifications for that job?
Go for a walk Pete.
seems like he is scared of being there!! i bet everything is toxic and he never wanted to go in the first place!
Oh he finally decides to show up? All done hiring more black construction workers?
Peter puffer
Slow
@@ikeswp4959 👀
Better late than never...or not!
He is weird dude
An inexperienced young man. Just info-dumping.
He is weird he probably breastfed his newborn
The db starts off by saying, "Well, I wasnt planning on being here but...............". The people respond by saying, "It's okay, President Trump took care of us".
Should have brought his 2 chest feeders and let them play in the dirt ,take a bath and drink some water
All it took for him to visit was trump showing up
Took one question and they turned it off.
Before a reporter could say, your administration has had both houses and exec branh for 2 years and now you want to do regulation, why now and not before republicans took the house?
What about spending time with the hurting and freaked out people?
A prime example of someone who likes a fancy title but wants to do zero work. What a coward. Nice of you to finally show. I wonder why?? hmmm.... This administration has proven to me the government could honestly care less about any of us. Just need us working for those taxes.
Your fired.
He was home for 3 weeks breastfeeding his 2 new borns that his husband had while he was giving birth !
He is lucky he wasn’t in the danger zone. Idiot 🙄🙄
Sick
You really dropped the ball on this one pete
Disgrace, and showing up this late proves how little he cares or is invested in it. He is the Secretary of Transportation, for goodness sake, and he should have been there right after it happened. Total disgrace
Just what exactly does he mean by "from day one" ?
20 days ago ?
Too little to late if Trump didn't go he wouldn't be standing there bubbling his bull sh....
About time there fudge stick
Whenever he opens his mouth, i hear the mayor in Jaws.
I'm pleased and happy to repeat the news that we have, in fact, caught and killed a large predator that supposedly injured some bathers.
