President Biden said Thursday he will visit East Palestine, Ohio, “at some point” in the wake of a train derailment that spilled toxic chemicals into the community.

“I’ve spoken with every official in Ohio, Democrat and Republican, on a continuing basis, as in Pennsylvania,” Biden told reporters after leaving a lunch at the Capitol with Senate Democrats.

ADMINISTRATION Biden says he will visit East Palestine ‘at some point’ BY BRETT SAMUELS - 03/02/23 4:13 PM ET SHARE TWEET President Biden Greg Nash President Biden answers questions during a press conference in the State Dining Room of the White House. President Biden said Thursday he will visit East Palestine, Ohio, “at some point” in the wake of a train derailment that spilled toxic chemicals into the community.

“I’ve spoken with every official in Ohio, Democrat and Republican, on a continuing basis, as in Pennsylvania,” Biden told reporters after leaving a lunch at the Capitol with Senate Democrats.

“We will be implementing an awful lot through the legislation here, and I will be out there at some point,” Biden added.

When asked about Biden’s comments, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre later added that she had no new travel to announce for the president.

Biden has faced a steady stream of criticism from Republicans over his decision so far not to visit East Palestine, where a Norfolk Southern train derailed in early February. Former President Trump traveled to East Palestine last month to bring supplies and offer support for the community, which the White House and Democrats called a political ploy.

I remember Trump visiting the Paradise fire area in California to survey the damage. He wasn’t welcomed by loving arms in a blue state. Joke is a pu$$y.

He asked Karine...."You think those Ohio peasants will vote for me?" "I don't think so Mr. President."

Oh man...I ain't going".

So finally someone explained to him that “East Palestine” is not another name for the West Bank.

“President Biden said Thursday he will visit East Palestine, Ohio, “at some point””

Biden is the guy that wore a mask during a zoom call with other heads of state.

Put a blue screen behind him and tell him he’s there. Like they do with the White House for photo ops.

It wouldn’t surprise me to hear Biden say: I’ll go to East Palestine as soon as it is safe.
