All week long, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has been attacking Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, trying to blame every airport delay or train derailment on him and suggesting that he’s not qualified for the job he holds in the Biden administration.
Boebert posted a photoshopped picture of her putting out a fire in front of a derailed train with the message, “Out here preparing for Mayor Pete’s next derailment.”
Rather than stoop to Boebert’s level (which is the level of a multiple failure when it comes to passing the GED test), Buttigieg used seven words to school Boebert on who’s really to blame for train accidents: Her and her colleagues in the Republican caucus.
Secretary Buttigieg also laid some other painful knowledge on the Colorado dunce:
“We estimate its impact on FRA would mean about 1,000 fewer rail safety inspection days next year and 30,000 fewer miles of track inspected annually. If you care about preventing derailments, please change course and help us increase accountability for freight railroads.”
Of course, it’s highly unlikely that Boebert will understand a word of what Buttigieg told her on Twitter, but others on the platform had some choice words for the Colorado Republican.
