Biden, in a Friday speech, condemned what he described as corporate greed in light of 2023’s crash, and also pushed for railroads to implement more safeguards.
“While there are acts of God, this was an act of greed that was 100 percent preventable,” Biden said.
“We were pushing railroads to take more precautions, to deal with braking, to do a whole range of things that were not dealt with. Norfolk Southern failed its responsibility,” he added.

SO sick of his lies.
As i recall the investigation found no non compliance issues which would have resulted in the crash.
Utterly despicable peddling such hateful deceptions.

Remember, the finest person that Lindsey Graham knows in politics said this. Biden is a clown among clowns.

The main fault lies with the EPA and the Transportation Department.

When I heard on the radio that this one was going to East Palestine, for a moment I thought he was heading to the Middle East. The derailment was long enough ago that I had to re-remember it. What’s the point of his going there now?

NS wanted to clean up the toxins. The feds pushed burning them. Big mistake. As usual, the Feds know nothing but still get their way to the terrible detriment of the locals.

Bidet should STFU. Was the crash that killed his first wife and ‘act of greed’ or just a tragic accident?

Yep. Straight from his Cliff Notes he was rummaging around for in his pockets during the mayor’s speech.

From Biden’s remarks I conclude that Norfolk Southern did not contribute enough to the Biden crime family. Had Hunter been made a board member a few years ago, his dad’s remarks would have been far different.
But it’s not too late to buy a little insurance, Norfolk Southern! And who wouldn’t want a business genius like Hunter on the board, regardless?
