The next time anyone ever tries to tell that Democrats are the party of “empathy”, just point to Joe Biden or Pete Buttigieg and their absolutely disgusting handling of the nuking of East Palestine, Ohio.
You can also mention who scum Joe Biden got a chuckle out of the fact that a woman lost two sons to fentanyl overdosing.
President Joe Biden told reporters Thursday that he will go to East Palestine, Ohio, “at some point” – nearly a month after a train derailment and a controlled burn of chemicals devasted the community and surrounding areas.
His comments came after a lunch with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and other Senate Democrats, ABC News’s Alexandra Hutzler reported.
“I’ve spoken with every official in Ohio, Democrat and Republican, on a continuing basis, as in Pennsylvania,” he said. “I laid out a little bit in there what I think the answers are … and we will be implementing an awful lot to the legislation here.”
“I will be out there at some point,” he pledged without providing a specific timeline.
Biden has garnered substantial criticism for not yet visiting the town. It was only exacerbated by his trip to Ukraine last week, which had East Palestine Mayor Trent R. Conaway fuming.
“That tells you right now he doesn’t care about us,” he said during an appearance on Fox News Channel’s (FNC) Jesse Watters Primetime. “So, he can send every agency he wants to, but I found that out this morning in one of the briefings that he was in…Ukraine, giving millions of dollars away to people over there, and not to us, and I’m furious.”
