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.

Children should be seen and not heard.
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.
Blasting the GOP for not investigating the Biden Admins failure?!
Woman is off the reservation…
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!)
You da crime scene bitch!
It’s absolute a crime scene.
FU, barkeep.
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.
She’s right but the stupid bitch thinks it was in Israel.
Probably the only time I’ll agree with AOC.
She’s drunk again. You can’t trust an alcoholic narcissist
Hey! She got something right! Might be the first time—but maybe she is growing up! We can but hope.
surprised that she doesn’t think palestine ohio is a middle eastern nation
never take advice from a stripper/bartender unless she tells you about the crabs she just gave you
She is half right.
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.
What? Did she find a minority among those affected?
