Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is being mocked after making an unfortunate pun during his visit to the affected residents of East Palestine, Ohio after a disastrous train derailment on Thursday.
On February 13, Buttigieg posted his first tweet regarding the tragedy, stating that he was still “concerned about the impacts” on the local population. In order to maintain accountability and continue to support safety, he promised to use all “necessary authorities.”
