EXCERPT:
COLBERT: “Speaking of transit, it’s been 20 days since the horrific train derailment and chemical spill in East Palestine, Ohio. And today transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg finally visited the site. 20 days late. I’m glad he’s not an emt. “Let’s see here. Time of death: 3 weeks ago. Clear!” Looks like Buttigieg knows he acted too slowly, admitting that he “could have spoken out sooner.” Adding, “and I would’ve been here earlier, but traffic was a mess, the trains are a disaster, and all the flights were canceled. Someone should really deal with this country’s transportation! I had to take a city bike."”
