“Buttigieg needs to resign right now. He is an embarrassment. He is incompetent, and he is actually getting people hurt by holding that position,” Rulli told Breitbart News Washington Political Editor Matthew Boyle. “The people in Congress, we need to impeach him. And it needs to happen right now.”

Rulli added that Buttigieg “had the gall to tell my people that he has 1,000 train accidents, and that this isn’t that bad. It is that bad.”

This past week, Buttigieg appeared to try to minimize the train disaster in East Palestine by noting that there are 1,000 train derailments each year.

“While this horrible situation has gotten a particularly high amount of attention, there are roughly 1,000 cases a year of a train derailing,” the Transportation Secretary said.

During his interview with Breitbart News, Rulli also lamented the Biden administration being prioritizing Ukraine while there are significant problems that need to be addressed in the United States.
