Pete Buttigieg’s resignation demanded on House floor: ‘Unfit to lead’
Fox News
A House Republican on Wednesday took to the House floor and called for the resignation of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg after a series of crises.
"From his first day in office, he has been more focused on diversity training and identity politics than on building and maintaining America’s transportation system," Collins said. "He has abandoned his department’s mission of improving the safety, technology and efficiency of our infrastructure in favor of promoting diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives." Pete Kasperowicz is a politics editor at Fox News Digital.
Collins said the East Palestine derailment revealed Buttigieg’s priorities, as it took him 10 days to respond to the incident. The derailment prompted a decision to conduct a controlled release of toxic chemicals in order to avoid a more dangerous explosion, but residents are still reporting health concerns.
