Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) ~ East Palestine railroad derailment will have a significant negative impact on the health and wellbeing of the residents for decades and there is almost zero national media attention.
We need Congressional inquiry and direct action from @PeteButtigieg to address this tragedy.
Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) ~ Fully agree.
Ruh-roh, Pete Buttigieg. Bipartisan agreement in both the House and the Senate about a congressional inquiry into East Palestine, OH.
Secretary Pete Buttigieg (@SecretaryPete) ~ Glad to see newfound bipartisan agreement here. We could start by discussing immediate steps Congress could take to address rail safety & reduce constraints on USDOT in this area. Give us a call, we can do some good work.
Now, we find the fact that Pete responded quite interesting. He’s not tagged or even mentioned in Ted’s tweet. And sure, it’s possible that Pete is truly glad to see a newfound bipartisan agreement BUT his flippant, snotty attitude about giving them a call? This sounds off. Almost as if he’s either angry about the idea of a Congressional inquiry (which would of course include his agency with Cruz involved) OR he’s nervous.
Maybe both. ...
