Ohio politicians react to Biden visiting East Palestine after 1 year: 'Too little too late'
Fox News ^ | Feb 2, 2024 | Andrew Mark Miller

Reactions from prominent Ohio political figures are pouring in after President Biden announced this week he will visit East Palestine, Ohio a year after the major train derailment that devastated the community and sparked calls for him to visit the town.

"Biden visiting East Palestine at this point is pure politics," Ohio Republican Sen. J.D. Vance posted on X. "What is he actually going to do for the people on the ground? That’s what matters, not political stunts."

"Joe Biden refused to stand with the patriots of East Palestine when it really mattered. He could have united our country by showing support to a right leaning community, but instead he ignored them," GOP Senate candidate Bernie Moreno posted on X.

"Now a year later, he's showing up for a photo op to help his failing campaign."

Why do I think President Biden’s first question when he gets to East Palestine and looking impatiently at his watch will be “Where’s Netanyahu”?

At this point in time, what difference does it make? The area is probably “red” and he will get few if any votes from the locals.

Even as a “virtue signal”, no impact anywhere else, either.

Probably hurt him more than helped him. It’s just something more about him to be unimpressed with. He doesn’t care.

Or, “Where’s my vanilla ice cream?”

“Mommy said there would be vanilla ice cream!”

The residents should just turn their backs on him and refuse to meet him.

No, it will be a rerun of his talk with the dead soldiers parents yesterday.

He interjected his dead son into it......AGAIN dishonestly stating he died in combat.

This time it will be his son died related to chemicals so the people of East Palestine aren’t special.

My money’s on he doesn’t go at all.

Why did the vegetable exhibition come here? Why waste the time and effort to remind people what a miserable job VegPres did when he was needed. Do the morons handling Biden think Ohio is play? I don’t get it.

Hopefully Biden’s visit will hurt the pathetic leftist Sherrod Brown in his re-election bid to the Senate.

Now a year later, he’s showing up for a photo op to help Sherrod Browns failing campaign. FIFY

I’m sure he didn’t want to go. Ever had the ice cream in East Palestine?

Betcha he’s using the failing pol’s old political trick.

He cant draw crowds on his own....w/ his pathetic presidency.

So he shows up where crowds have gathered for another reason
to dupe the voters into thinking the crowds came to support him.

Talk about politics! The patriotism of the people who live in East Palestine, has absolutely nothing to do with what the government, and its leader, should have done in regard to supporting them. We just look snarky and small when we say these things.

Why would any city want the white house or the Feds to drop in to help out with a problem?

Do you really want Joe Biden to fly in for a visit?
