Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on Thursday called for the immediate resignation of U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Secretary Pete Buttigieg after the Ohio train derailment, expressing doubts about Buttigieg’s ability to ensure public safety among other issues.
In a Feb. 16 letter to President Joe Biden, Rubio accused Buttigieg of repeatedly demonstrating a “gross level of incompetence and apathy” that puts the safety and prosperity of the American people at risk.
