Seven months have passed since the East Palestine, Ohio, train derailment, and President Biden has yet to issue a disaster declaration at the site or visit the area.
Mr. Biden’s most recent remarks about why he didn’t make a trip to East Palestine following the toxic crash angered Ohio lawmakers and East Palestine residents.
“I’m going from Washington to India to Vietnam, and so it is going to be a while. But we are making sure that East Palestine has what they need materially in order to deal with the problems.” “The fact that Biden could find time for high dollar fundraisers, golf, movies and A LOT of vacation, but not even a fly-by of East Palestine, tells you all you need to know about the misplaced priorities of the Biden administration,” said RNC Director of Rapid Response Jake Schneider.The Washington Times reached out to the White House for comment but did not immediately hear back.
Mr. and Mrs. Tsai appeared on NewsNation, and she called Mr. Biden’s lack of interest in visiting East Palestine “reprehensible.” Mr. Biden, whose empathy toward Americans facing tragic circumstances is being questioned. He is still facing backlash for his “no comment” response when asked about the deadly wildfire in Maui, and his decision to visit the disaster site in Lahaina 13 days later while comparing the massive destruction to a small kitchen fire in his house years ago.
Like Mr. Vance, Mr. Brown has visited East Palestine on multiple occasions and publicly advocated for its residents recently, when he called on the Federal Emergency Management Agency to respond to the state’s request to designate East Palestine as a disaster area.Congress initially responded to the crisis by holding hearings about the potential for railroad crashes to trigger even larger disasters.
