President Joe Biden’s decision to finally visit East Palestine, Ohio, a year after the catastrophic train derailment and toxic chemical spill, has raised eyebrows and suspicions among conservative circles. The rumor mill is spinning with speculation that the crafty Democrats and elites intentionally avoided the visit in order to further sink Biden’s approval rating with voters, potentially paving the way for another puppet candidate, like former first lady Michelle Obama, to take his place.
The planned visit, as reported by Fox News, has been met with skepticism and criticism from conservative pundits who argue that it will only serve to remind residents of Biden’s lack of urgency and disdain for heartland Americans. They can’t help but draw comparisons to former President Donald J. Trump’s visit in the weeks following the accident, where he showed up with words of compassion and reassurance, as well as much-needed supplies.

In contrast, Biden sent Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg in his place, a move that only further highlighted the administration’s lackluster response. Critics argue that Biden’s excuse of not having enough time in his schedule to visit East Palestine hardly wins him any brownie points or votes. They question whether Biden truly cares about heartland Americans, and speculate that his late visit is merely an attempt to climb out of the hole he dug for himself.
Former President Trump has also weighed in, expressing his doubts about the sincerity of Biden’s visit and warning that the reception in East Palestine may not be a warm one. He has criticized Biden for finally deciding to visit the town a year late, calling him the “Worst President in History.” Additionally, conservatives have called attention to Biden’s extensive vacation time during the aftermath of the train derailment, suggesting that he could have made time to visit the community.
The skepticism surrounding Biden’s visit has led many to believe that there may be ulterior motives at play. Some conservatives believe that Biden’s team is allowing him to make the visit as an empty gesture, knowing that it is likely to backfire and remind heartland Americans of his previous absence. They suspect that there is something more to be uncovered in East Palestine, beyond the surface-level optics of the visit.
As conservative writers and commentators urge their readers to stay vigilant and support their cause, they emphasize the significance of the upcoming 2024 election. They paint a dire picture of a future in which the values cherished by Americans may vanish if the election falls into the hands of “wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for.” They urge their readers to join the fight and support their platform, framing it as a critical battle for America’s soul in 2024. In doing so, they aim to rally their base and galvanize support for their cause.
