Ocasio-Cortez: East Palestine a ‘potential crime scene’
The Hill ^ | 03/09/2023 | STEPHEN NEUKAM

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says the site of the devastating train derailment in Ohio is a “potential crime scene,” blasting House Republicans for not holding a hearing on the incident.

“This committee needs to hold a hearing on the derailment in East Palestine,” the New York Democrat said during a House Oversight and Accountability hearing Thursday, as the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee grilled the CEO of Norfolk Southern. “This is not just a disaster site. It is a potential crime scene.”

The federal government continues to deal with the fallout of the derailment of a train carrying toxic chemicals in East Palestine, which sparked an environmental and public health disaster.

Ocasio-Cortez said Norfolk Southern should not be allowed to directly participate in the cleanup efforts.

Sandy Cortez, the poor little Puerto Rican rich girl, is also a “crime scene.”

“Ocasio-Cortez: East Palestine a ‘potential crime scene”

Hate to say, but she’s right. Whoever thought it was a good idea to set fire to that mess deserves to be investigated.

Sandy! We’re running low on chips and salsa and our Margaritas need a refresh! Quick like a bunny now, and there’s a nice tip in it for you!

HOW do we get such complete IDIOTS in our Congress?!?! (Don’t answer!)

I bet she doesn’t even know the fire was intentionally set. She probably thinks it’s Trumps fault because he removed some brake regulation or something.

I’m just surprised she didn’t call to shut down ALL
rail traffic until a committee made up of all democrats
can hold hearings...after that they will hold one
to investigate nationwide shortages.

It is being investigated by the NTSB just like every other train derailment.
