President Joe Biden is receiving blowback over a social media video touting his visit to East Palestine, Ohio. Biden visited the town on Friday, one year after the toxic train derailment that made most Americans conscious of the Midwest community.
Biden shared the video on X, saying “Our Administration has been here since day one” – a point he made during his visit last week.
A large majority of the comments were negative as this was his first visit to East Palestine since the derailment. Many said he’s only visiting now because it’s an election year. Biden denies he’s been slow to act, emphasizing that federal responders arrived only hours after the accident, with many still being there to this day.
