On the same day Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg visited East Palestine on Thursday, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre argued that"no one" called for then-Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao to resign when chemical spills occurred under her watch.
The critiques of Chao come as Buttigieg and the Biden administration have been battling to keep blame for the toxic crash in Ohio off themselves and pointed at former President Donald Trump. Buttigieg has come under fire for the delay in his visit to East Palestine on Thursday. He attributed his delay to letting the National Transportation Safety Board take the reins and said his people had been there working with agencies since day one, but he admitted that he"could have spoken out sooner."
“Congressional Republicans and former Trump administration officials owe East Palestine an apology for selling them out to rail industry lobbyists when they dismantled Obama-Biden rail safety protections as well as EPA powers to rapidly contain spills,” said White House spokesman Andrew Bates.
