President Joe Biden will visit East Palestine, Ohio this Friday, finally making good on his promise to tour the site of the Norfolk Southern train derailment that unleashed a brew of toxic chemicals into the environment more than a year ago.

News of the Democrat’s visit came after he endured fierce criticism from Republicans for failing to visit the beleaguered community since the Feb. 3, 2023 environmental disaster.

“The President will travel to East Palestine, Ohio to discuss how the Administration is continuing to work with state and local officials to hold Norfolk Southern accountable and support the community as it moves forward,” the White House said in an advisory.

He probably thinks he's going there for ice cream and a date with the Easter Bunny.

And expect to shake hands with President Lopez Obrador. Then he'll say his son died in a train derailment in ... um ....

Maybe he was told about this just a couple of days ago.

His handlers have him in a pretty secure bubble.

I just spoke with the President of East Palestine…Anwar Sadat.
We went to Our Lady of Perpetual Genuflecting.
Let my people go!…

He’ll be able to sympathize with the people there because his son, Beau, died from working in the toxic burn pits of Iraq.

Both sides have been virtue signaling this incident. Unfortunately for Biden, Trump went there first.

“He’s going to hear it”

And he deserves to....but

IF he goes, and that’s a BIG if.....after what happened last Thursday I suspect it will be scripted and very tightly controlled.

I wonder if he’ll ask the President of Mexico to open up the gate so humanitarian aid can be provided to the East Palestinians?

Biden’s handlers told him he needs to visit East Palestine? Biden agreed and thinks he’s going to visit Gaza.
