'Gross Incompetence': Rubio Urges Biden to Ask for Buttigieg's Resignation
Townhall ^ | 2/27/2023 | Spencer Brown

Posted on 02/17/2023 2:12:51 PM PST by Signalman

Amid growing criticism for the Biden administration — and specifically Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg — over the federal response (or lack thereof) to the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, that released toxic chemicals into the air and water, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) is calling for change at the top.

In a letter to President Joe Biden, Rubio calls on the chief executive to "request the immediate resignation of U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Secretary Buttigieg" for what Rubio describes as a "gross level of incompetence and apathy that is detrimental to the safety and prosperity of the American people."

Rubio outlines how "Secretary Buttigieg downplayed and ignored crisis after crisis, while prioritizing topics of little relevance to our nation’s transportation system" over the first two years of the Biden administration's time in office. "It is painfully clear to the American people that Secretary Buttigieg has little regard for the duties of the Secretary of Transportation," Rubio added.

"At no time has that been more apparent than the past two weeks," Rubio notes of the slow response to the train derailment. "Secretary Buttigieg refused to acknowledge the disaster in East Palestine, Ohio, until his intentional ignorance was no longer tenable. Even after acknowledging the tragedy, he continues to deflect any accountability for the safety of our nation’s rail system," the Florida Republican says of the blame game being played by Buttigieg. "The circumstances leading up to the derailment point to a clear lack of oversight and demand engagement by our nation’s top transportation official," Rubio urges before noting the lack of attention from Buttigieg is nothing new:

Pete is unqualified, irresponsible, clueless and simply doesn’t care.

He’s the perfect Democrat politician. He’d make a great RINO, too. /Mitt Romney

Biden: C’mon, man. If I had to fire everyone in my staff and cabinet who was grossly incompetent I’d be here alone. Karine, Kamala, get out here and explain that to them.

He should be asking Biden for Biden’s resignation. Biden chose the faggot for the position. Biden is the faggot’s boss. Biden is ultimately responsible. Saying anything different basically says the President isn’t really in charge.

Petey Boy has not a single qualification for the job, unless one counts "transporting" one's penis into another man's anus and mouth, and vice versa, to be qualifications.

Sorry if anyone's offended by my comment but the main reason Petey Boy was handed the gig was simply because he does ram his penis into men's asses, they ram their penises into his anus and same goes with both party's mouths.

We need to get graphic when confronting the sick agendas of the left. When people actually hear one describe the acts that are supposed to instill "pride" in people, the second thoughts begin. Same goes for discussions of late term abortion with people who blather on about "choice."

I've changed a few hearts and minds by graphically describing what happens to a baby when some demonic "doctor" plunges forceps into its skull.

No more platitudes and BS for me when it comes to discussing the shit and blood-flecked shibboleths of the vile Left. Dancing around things to avoid describing them as they actually are in the name of a faux civility is evil.

And that is why, I named him, "Mayor Buttplugg" back in 2018, during the Democrat Primary Season.

Dude is too busy breastfeeding to take care of Transportation.

Any European cabinet member would have resigned long ago.

All Brandon cabinet act like minister without portfolio. Including Defence Secretary Lardbutt who should have resigned after shambles surrender in Kabul. All of them useless Marxist twits.

Agree with your assessment of the cabinet.

A more qualified bunch could be found at the Mos Eisley Cantina.

Pete Bootyjiz will never resign.

He’ll just take another “leave of absense” to care for his little future sex slaves.

It bothers me that Pothole Pete discussed “1000 train derailings a year so nonchalantly. Seems he’d form a task force to enact pretrip inspections of rail equipment or something.

“In a letter”

Wake me up when that turns into “articles of impeachment”.

Perfect evaluation!

His ONLY qualification for his position is that he's a fudge packer.
