Poor lil' Buttgigged ... he just can't cope with the FACT that everyone knows he's an incompetent boob.

This week Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg (who, thanks to what he wore while touring the East Palestine train derailment site, is now known in some social media circles as “Woke Bob the Builder”) said it’s time for Trump and former officials in his administration to step up and take some responsibility for the disaster.
Buttigieg (and many other Dems) are saying Trump-era “deregulation” is partly (or more) to blame for the derailment. That’s when it got awkward for the Dems, because fortunately there are some in government who still care about the facts and not narratives. Biden-appointed NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy threw a truth wrench into the works of Buttigieg’s spin:
You can see NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy's comments that DESTROY Mayor Butt-boy's lame excuses at my previous Post #40456 ...
#msg-1219481
“PLEASE STOP SPREADING MISINFORMATION.” Looking at you, Mayor Pete.
However, Secretary Buttigieg is alarmed. No, not so much by Homendy’s fact-check, but about something the Chair of the House Oversight Committee wrote in a letter demanding answers and not blame deflection from the Transportation Department:
Secretary Pete Buttigieg (@SecretaryPete) ~ I am alarmed to learn that the Chair of the House Oversight Committee thinks that the NTSB is part of our Department. NTSB is independent (and with good reason). Still, of course, we will fully review this and respond appropriately.

Mayor Butt-boy, Transportation Secretary for "THE MOST TRANSPARENT ADMINISTRATION IN U.S. HISTORY" {WARNING: Extreme sarcasm alert, because, of course, this assertion by Brandon & Co. is nothing but pure delusional horseshit}, is ALARMED that the House Oversight Committee might want to do its job and check on the job performance at the U.S. Transportation Department. Egads!
Out of all the things to find alarming these last few weeks, that might be the least important thing to be alarmed about.
Nick Flor (@ProfessorF) ~ "I am alarmed ..."
Yeah? Well WE the people are alarmed that YOU as Secretary of Transportation totally ignored the Ohio train crisis FOR WEEKS.
The oversight committee should be investigating that.
Mark Pukita (@mpukita) ~ This incompetent boob took forever & a day to get to East Palestine, OH to then meet only with hand-selected actors choreographed to play a role in some freak Kabuki theatre.
Now he's playing the role of a "Karen" dodging substance to avoid responsibility & honesty.
Rising serpent (@rising_serpent) ~ This is pretty much on brand for a McKinsey consultant. Deflect responsibility by claiming people don't understand the bureaucracy and that it is someone else's job.
Perhaps Buttigieg will get back to the Committee next week. We’re assuming this weekend is “personal time.”
