It took him 20 days to do it, but Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg finally made an appearance in East Palestine, Ohio, to tour the scene of the Train Derailment disaster.

He was decked out in his safety gear, too. What a stark contrast to President Trump yesterday, who walked among the people and sought to encourage them and bring hope to their situation.
