Cruz noted that while Republicans and Democrats were working in a bipartisan fashion to address the rail issues that led to a derailment in East Palestine, OH, Buttigieg chose a different route.
After taking a lot of criticism for his delayed response, Buttigieg decided to throw stones at Trump and blame him for the derailment, a narrative that was quickly debunked.
Get ‘Em, Teddy!
Cruz went after Buttigieg hard for trying to blame Trump.
He stated, “For example, Secretary Buttigieg has proposed reinstating a brake rule that was not supported by cost-benefit analysis.
“Shortly thereafter, the chairwoman of the NTSB, Chairwoman Homendy, tweeted about this rule.
“She said quote, ‘Some are saying the ECP electronically controlled pneumatic brake rule, if implemented, would have prevented this derailment. False.’”
They he really went after Buttigieg, stating, “Undeterred, Secretary Buttigieg then released a laundry list of regulatory proposals, many of which had little to no connection to the East Palestine derailment.
“In an effort to further distract from his own failed response, Secretary Buttigieg has suggested that President Trump was responsible for the derailment in East Palestine.
“I know that’s a frequent playbook of this administration blaming every problem on President Trump, but not even the Washington Post fact checker – who usually goes out of his way to back Democrat claims – bought this claim.
“The Washington Post fact checker concluded, and I quote, ‘From our analysis, none of the regulatory changes made during the Trump administration at this point can be cited as contributing to the accident.’”
It took 10 days for Pete Buttigieg to even acknowledge the East Palestine derailment.
And when he finally said something, he only tried to distract from his own failures and push regulations which have little to no connection to the East Palestine derailment. pic.twitter.com/1YtTGJtW0T

I would say that is game, set, and match, Senator Cruz.
