Buttigieg: ‘The Country Should Be Wrapping Their Arms Around the People of East Palestine’

Buttigieg: “The country should be wrapping their arms around the people of East Palestine, not as a political football, not as an ideological flashpoint, not as a gotcha moment, but as thousands of human beings whose lives got upended through no fault of their own. And I think that includes visits, not just big official visits from the government, but just people who’ve seen the news, and whose hearts go out to the community here and can come here, come here on a day like this when the sun is shining, or on a rainy day, and shop in those shops, and visit those businesses. It is safe to visit here, as all of us can attest, even while we’re still making sure that it stays safe to live here, and people deserve that.”
