President Joe Biden is proudly touting his spending “tens of millions” of dollars on clean water for Ukraine, but he still hasn’t bothered to visit East Palestine, Ohio, where the residents are suffering from water contamination. Typical Biden, always prioritizing other countries over our own!
During a press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Biden couldn’t help but brag about the aid the United States has provided to Ukraine. He claimed that no nation can truly be secure without defending Ukraine from Russian aggression and that’s why the US has brought together a coalition of more than 50 countries to help Ukraine.
President who wouldn't visit East Palestine, Ohio after its air and water was contaminated following a toxic train derailment does an end zone dance over providing clean water for another country. https://t.co/Ou92g2jlnl

While Biden is busy patting himself on the back for helping Ukraine, the residents of East Palestine are left to deal with the consequences of a train derailment that contaminated their water. Cleanup operations are still ongoing and the Environmental Protection Agency has confirmed that homes and businesses are still being cleaned.
Biden had promised to visit East Palestine back in March, but surprise, surprise, he hasn’t followed through on that promise. When confronted about it, he gave some nonsensical answer about being too busy with other things. It’s clear that Biden has no interest in actually helping the American people, especially when there are other countries he can show off to.
Columnist Joe Concha summed it up perfectly when he said that Biden is doing an “end zone dance” over providing clean water for Ukraine while ignoring the needs of our own citizens in East Palestine. It’s just another example of how out of touch Biden is with the everyday struggles of the American people.
