Joe Biden, the man who spends roughly 40 percent of his work week on vacation, has yet to visit East Palestine, the site of that horrific derailment and chemical spill.
Why has he not gone there yet after promising to visit the area?
Well, Joe says he is too busy and has too much going on right now to make it there.
Not My Voters
Joe Biden went to Maui, about a week late, but he went, and Hawaii happens to be a Democrat stronghold.
Biden went to Florida, a battleground state, knowing he could not have another tragedy pass by without addressing it in person.
When Biden was asked why he had not gone to Ohio, he stated, “I haven’t had the occasion to go to East Palestine. There’s a lot going on here, and I just haven’t been able to break. I was thinking that I would go to East Palestine this week, but I’ve been reminded I’ve gotta go literally around the world.
“I’m going from Washington to India to Vietnam too, so it’s gonna be awhile. But we’re making sure that East Palestine has what they need materially in order to deal with the problem.”

I am going to wager that if you ask the people of East Palestine how happy they are with Joe’s response, it will not be quite as positive as he makes it out to be.
The fact of the matter is that Joe knows, especially now, that these particular people are not going to vote for him or the Democrats, so why bother going there to eat a big bag of sh** when he does not have to?
Now imagine being a resident of East Palestine, which suffered one of the worst chemical spills in modern history, and your president tells you that he does not have time for you.
Biden says he does not have the time, but it has been seven months and Biden literally just came off a spell where he spent something like 20 of 25 days on vacation.
How do the people of East Palestine respond?
Well, one resident stated that he does not “have hope anymore.”
Now play that video next to Joe Biden riding his bike and sitting on the beach in Delaware or sitting by the pool at an $18 million estate in Lake Tahoe, and tell me how Joe does not have the time.
