Benny Johnson, of Turning Point USA, and host of the podcast, The Benny Show, set up a table outside of the Department of Transportation in Washington, DC, with bottles of water on the table and a sign reading “Free East Palestine Water.”
While trying to get people to talk to him, one man walked by and made a comment. Benny responded, and a conversation ensued.
The man said he works for the Transportation Department and Benny confirmed he was wearing a badge proving he was an employee.
The man then went on to reveal, among other things, the reason Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg ignored the East Palestine train derailment. It was by political motivation. East Palestine is red, in a red state, and the administration didn’t want to put an emphasis on it until the media and social media started asking where the hell was Buttigieg.
The man also revealed that in the past, train workers would walk the tracks and look for things that could cause problems for the trains. They were trained on what to spot and they called them out when they saw problems. He went on to say that computer systems replaced that and they did a much better job than human beings because they used laser lights to spot the problems with the tracks, plus a whole lot of other things that could go wrong. The Transportation Department worker then said that the Biden administration got rid of all of that because that kind of safety system took away union jobs.
Benny tweeted out the video saying, “BREAKING: Federal Whistleblower reveals Department of Transportation under Pete Buttigieg IGNORED East Palestine because of politically motivated cruelty. Claims DOT allocates resources based on regional politics: Blue state get funded, Red states get ignored.”

He followed up with another tweet:
“Essentially, The Biden administration viewed the toxic train derailment as less important because of how these people vote. The Department of Transportation was cripplingly slow to respond the tragedy in East Palestine. DOT employees are humiliated by this. Why is is happening?”

“The mission of the DOT has become hyper-politicized. It’s making career appointees very nervous. This hyper hyper-politicization comes from the top. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is not well-liked in the building due to his absentee, weak, politically ambitious role.”

“The Department of Transportation prioritizes servitude to union jobs over safety — holding back technology that might have prevented the train crashing east Palestine and lowering regulations to appease union paymasters.”

At this point, we don’t know if the whistleblower was legit, but I’ve watched a lot of Benny’s videos and he’s never been known to make things up in the past. If this is true, there needs to be an investigation because you can’t have a federal government that runs off of political ideology where that says screw you to whole populations of people because they didn’t vote for you.
Please say a prayer for this worker because even though Johnson went out of his way to cover the identity of the whistleblower, we know how the Biden administration treats whistleblowers, and how Democrat administrations in general treat whistleblowers.
