Biden Shrugs Off Criticism from East Palestine Mayor

President Joe Biden blew off criticism from East Palestine, Ohio Mayor Trent Conaway in an exclusive interview with ABC News saying:

“Let’s put this in perspective, Within two hours of that derailment, the EPA was in there. Within two hours. Every major agency in the United States government that had anything to do with rail and or cleanup was there and is there. In addition to that, I’ve spoken at length to the congresspersons, the governors, the senators from both states of Pennsylvania and Ohio. And I’ve made it clear to them anything they need is available or we’ll make it available to them.”

The East Palestine Mayor stated earlier in the week that Biden, “doesn’t care” about his town.

David Muir, who interviewed Biden for ABC asked the President, “Do you have any plan to travel to Ohio and have you talked with the mayor yet?”

Biden replied:

“I can’t recall that – I don’t think I’ve talked to the mayor, I’ve talked to everyone else there and, in multiple times, talked about the senators, but both governors, I’ve talked to everyone that there is to talk to. And we made it clear that everything is available.”

The Mayor of East Palestine isn’t the only resident of the town upset with the Biden administration’s response:
