Tucker continues his coverage of what’s going on in East Palestine, Ohio after the deliberate burning of toxic chemicals released because of a train derailment. Animals dying, people getting sick, but it’s perfectly safe according to people in hazmat suits and governors who don’t live there.
Highlights include:
“Was it really a wise decision to light thousands of gallons of vinyl chloride on fire, releasing a World War I era bioweapon into the air over a populated area? Was that a good call?”
“And was it really safe for people two days later to go back to their homes? And if it was safe, how do we know that? Is anyone in charge actually monitoring with any accuracy the level of deadly chemicals in the air, ground and water in and around East Palestine? Well, no, apparently nobody is, and that’s highly upsetting when you think about it, talk about a failure at all levels.”
“The first duty of government is to protect its citizens, so it’s bad, and it’s very bad news for reckless politicians like Josh Shapiro and Mike DeWine, who may have helped make this disaster much worse.”
“The Biden administration endorsed it, too. According to Pete Buttigieg, Biden officials were on the scene, yet somehow they never said a word about the mushroom cloud until pictures of it evoked outrage on social media.”
“And of course they didn’t. They didn’t even notice. It had nothing to do with equity or climate change. East Palestine is a poor white town that voted for Trump, so, honestly, who cares? No one in the Biden administration did care, and that’s an atrocity. The people whose indifference made it possible should lose their jobs, beginning with Pete Buttigieg and extending to governors Josh Shapiro and Mike DeWine. They didn’t care, and they got caught not caring.”
“So, the people who live there obviously want some answers. ‘It’s totally safe!’ says the guy in the hazmat suit. So, residents of East Palestine tonight are gathered for a town hall. The mayor has just told residents that he has not heard from anyone in the White House, didn’t until yesterday when it started to become a political liability for them.”
