President Joe Biden has forgotten about the residents of East Palestine, a town in that pesky, blue-collar state of Ohio, and he wants you to forget as well.

If you’re a resident of Maui, Hawaii, and hoping for the Biden administration to save you in your time of need, then I regret to inform you that it won’t.

Immediately after the devastation of the Maui wildfires, Biden showed a lack of sympathy with his “no comment” response to the disaster while vacationing on the beach in Delaware.

One day later, Biden still exhibited no urgency in responding to the destruction in Maui. The president didn’t deviate from his vacation plans and, while riding his bike, told reporters that “we’re looking into it” when asked if he planned to go to Maui.

Only after several days of negative media coverage did Biden finally state Wednesday that he would travel Monday to Maui.

Some residents say “stay away”, or “get out of the way”.

These responses aren’t a surprise to anyone from East Palestine, Ohio, where they’re used to inaction by this administration.

Unfortunately, the Biden administration’s botched response to the Feb. 3 train derailment and chemical spill is instructive regarding what residents of Maui can expect.

It took Biden’s transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg, over two weeks to show up and survey the damage in East Palestine.
