NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy spoke out against Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s efforts to blame President Donald Trump for the East Palestine train crisis. She said the derailment was 100% preventable.
Homendy said, “I heard him [Buttigieg] say he had nothing to do with it, even though it was in his administration.
“So, if he had nothing to do with it and they did it in his administration against his will, maybe he can come out and say that he supports us moving in a different direction.”
“We’re not afraid to own our policies when it comes to raising the bar on regulation I’ve got to think that him indicating that this is something that everybody, no matter how much you disagree on politics and presidential campaigns, can get behind — higher fines, tougher regulations on safety, Congress untying our hands on breaking rules, all the other things that go with that — that would be a nice thing for him to do.”
Buttigieg and Reid pushed the false tale that the train derailment was Donald Trump’s fault without any hesitation.
“You know, the sort of theatrics of Donald Trump being in Palestine were odd, but this is a community that voted overwhelmingly for him.”
The two of them called it irony. The real irony is that it’s his fault.
It also wasn’t odd at all. This is quintessential Donald – always has been. The Left doesn’t get him, but I give Ms. Homendy credit for telling the truth – this derailment shouldn’t be political.
Ms.Homendy is honest and should be commended.
Ms. Homendy called Buttigieg out for lying, but that’s not the only lie in this case. Obama and Biden are the ones responsible for the rules Buttigieg was referencing. We explained here.

The people of East Palestine Oh should have DEMANDED Pot Hole Pete bring his two infants WITH him.
And while there, challenge Pete to make formula bottles for those babies using their TAP WATER,
Wouldn’t we ALL alive ti hear his response.
Response from the VERY SICK AND EVIL,LEFT should sunrise nobody. Democrats would LOVE TO HAVE a CCP type of govt herein America. And WITHOUT DOUBT, their own forced organ donatuon business using CONSERVATIVES to keep stocked with organs.
Sounds terrible? “DO NOT DOUBT ME.”
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has given President Trump a golden opportunity. As the Democrats say, “Never let a Disaster go to Waste!”
President Trump should start an East Palestine Train Disaster Recovery nonprofit. He should then hold a two day MEGA MAGA Trump Rally with CPAC people likely to be part of his Administration to support the Recovery nonprofit. Use the money to support the People of East Palestine now, and then to sue the pants off of Norfolk Southern for the long term care of the people in East Palestine.
The President Trump should then start the Border Invasion Reimbursement Fund nonprofit. Then Hold a MAGA Trump Rally with CPAC people likely to be part of his Administration in the Heart of Democrat Texas, and the next day the Heart of Democrat Arizona. Use the Money to reimburse Private Hospitals for cost related to care for Illegal Aliens before the Hospitals find themselves in financial trouble.
The People of America, especially Republicans donate to good causes and disaster relief. Trump can make a political statement with these nonprofits that People can better deal with Disasters than Government.
If President Trump combined MAGA Trump Rally with nonprofit disaster relief, he could change a lot of thinking about Big Government and dependence on Big Government. This would cause Bureaucrat heads to explode!
Bootygig gets a pass because he’s a queer. Its as simple as that.
The NTSB is independent of the Transportation department so we got s realistic story from a pro. The leftists in the administration could not block her. Pete is a very lightweight leftist who wants to be president. He flopped incredibly badly and may be out of contention after this. Other than Biden the illegitimate, we rarely see someone flop as badly as Pete did.
It seems that action on the train to slow down should have happened earlier.
