[HotAir] Governor Mike DeWine dropped a truth bomb a few hours ago: he has been in contact with FEMA every day since the disaster in East Palestine unfolded, and the Biden Administration is refusing assistance.

Perhaps this is why Mayor Pete has refused to go to the site of the disaster, and why he has been joking on TV while one of the largest environmental disasters in recent history has been ongoing.

The DeWine Administration has been in daily contact w/ FEMA to discuss the need for federal support, but FEMA continues to advise that Ohio is not eligible for assistance at this time. I will continue working with FEMA to determine what assistance can be provided.

— Governor Mike DeWine

Residents of the area rightly wonder why the Secretary of Transportation has not visited the site. I think we can now safely say it is because they just don’t give a damn.
Since it has nothing to do with equity, climate change, transgenderism it isn't important.

"CDC recommends drinking water through a mask"

#6  Henceforth, this fact must be hammered home by the GOP for the next elections at all levels.

Oh, wait, it won't matter. Never mind.

why he has been joking on TV while one of the largest environmental disasters in recent history has been ongoing.

That butt hole surfer is not only incompetent, but also a disgusting, vile piece of dreck.

#4  I thought Biden had a special interest in choo choos.

I would make a video of a kindergarten class inviting him to tour the area. The kids could hold ice cream cones.

#3  I'm sure they are wishing they could have had this happen to DeSantis. They probably wouldn't like his response at all.

#2  /\ Yes, for the dems, a fortuitous event cannot be wasted.

#1  The fact that it is a politically "Red" area has nothing to do with the Fed lack of interest, I'm sure.
