Buttigieg has defended himself against critics such as Rubio and got into spats with members of Congress as well as a Daily Caller reporter in a high-profile confrontation earlier in the week. Thursday's visit was the first for Buttigieg. EPA Administrator Michael Regan has already stopped by the community. Buttigieg insisted that the Biden administration has been tending to the matter from the early days of the debacle.
