Here’s the bottom line on the East Palestine, Ohio horror so far: The White House (and national Dems in general) don’t care about what happens to average Americans.
How else to explain the bizarre, discombobulated response from President Joe Biden and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on down?
On Feb. 3, a massive train carrying hazardous chemicals derailed and spilled its toxic contents. The feds then set the spills afire in a controlled burn that sent an ominous black plume of smoke towering above the town, terrifying residents already shaken by the potential health risks.
The president and his transportation secretary could’ve shown real leadership (and minted political capital at zero cost!) simply by owning the situation, committing to reforms and then helping out in a highly visible way.
Instead, Biden and Buttigieg have been flipping those pathetic flyover rubes a massive bird.
This issue affects the wrong demographic so it’s not worthy of the government to show up and help them.
Especially if they are white.
