The toxic spill that ensued after the February 3 Norfolk Southern train derailment in East Palestine, with hazardous chemicals that the train cars were carrying entering the air, ground and water, has stirred up a scandal over its possible long-term health consequences, as well as the perceived incompetence of officials.
House Republicans have introduced a resolution slamming US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg for “neglecting” his duties, and urging him to resign. Coming in the wake of the toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, on February 3, the resolution was spearheaded by Rep. Michael Waltz, R-Fla., and several of his GOP colleagues, such as Reps. Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Ryan Zinke of Montana, Mike Collins of Georgia, and Greg Steube of Florida.
The resolution condemns Buttigieg for having “failed to mitigate or effectively respond to multiple national crises,” adding that his “ineptitude has jeopardized the safety and prosperity of the American people.” Pete Buttigieg finally visited East Palestine 20 days after the derailment, with fuming local residents slamming it as “too little, too late.”
