A House Republican on Wednesday demanded the resignation of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, adding to the swell of demands that he step down for his handling of the East Palestine train derailment and an ongoing probe into his use of private jets.
"Pete Buttigieg has shown that he is unfit to lead the Department of Transportation and must resign immediately," said Mike Collins, R-Ga., on the House floor.
"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."
