On Friday, Joe Biden left the White House on his way to East Palestine, Ohio, for a photo op.
Biden reluctantly visited eastern Palestine more than a year after the toxic train accident. Biden, a lifelong lowlife politician, decided that since it was an election year he would shake hands with some people and act like he cared about the people of eastern Palestine.
On February 3, 2023, just before 9 p.m. ET, a Norfolk Southern train derailed near East Palestine, Ohio, a small Midwestern town of about 4,800 people near the Ohio border with Pennsylvania.
At least 11 of the derailed train cars contained hazardous materials. Several cars were carrying vinyl chloride, a carcinogenic substance.
Government officials decided to burn the chemicals rather than let them dry on the ground. The chemical explosion was massive. The chemicals formed a huge toxic plume over the area.
Biden was greeted by demonstrators.
It was painfully clear that Joe Biden did not want to be in eastern Palestine. He doesn't care about the people affected by the toxic train accident, and he simply doesn't have the energy for the trip.
East Palestine Mayor Trent Conway began his remarks by noting that Biden has ignored residents for a year: “Mr. Mr. President, the long-awaited visit to our village for a year…”
Biden was in bad shape. He stammered heavily on his words, blew his nose, and was stuck in real time.

Joe Biden spoke for 7 minutes. He was isolated and had difficulty reading his prepared speech.

Biden's handlers immediately forced reporters to leave the room.
“Any message to residents wondering why it took a year [to visit East Palestine]!?” one of the reporters shouted while dismissing the press.
