GMA Why isn't Ohio residents wearing mask🤔
The mayor needs to call POTUS back and ask for help. The Governor turned Biden down at sending assistance to help these people.
Get that mayor and his citizens some help, because DeWine 's dropped the ball completely.
he needs to declare a federal disaster so he can get fema involved
Yet, SecretaryPete Is no where to be found. Completely useless.....
Raising a Ukraine flag will help.
Maybe a clean shave and a tie before he greets the media? 🤷🏻♂️
ROM RonFilipkowski 1. Trump removed safety standards 2. DeWine ordered the chem cars be burned 3. DeWine declined Fed assistance 4. DeWine said Norfolk Southern CEO “gave him his word” all would be well 5. CEO no-shows at town hall 6. CEO is a DeWine donor
The Ohio governor is a republican, so no help there.
We need to take this to the streets! Where’s FEMA? EPA? This is how POTUS is treating people. I guess we’re learning that our govt reports to Blackrock & Vanguard. Toxic chemicals are being carried in the air, ground water and water systems and it’s spreading 1000s of miles
ABC You should be their pushing your Democrat party to help these people. Where are you ABC
report on real stuff duh a small-town mayor can't handle the world stage.... why don't you pester Norfolk Southern? or whoever gave the green light to blow up and burn a train that's fires were all but out
Republicans: 'The founding fathers never intended the federal govt to do much of anything. They wanted the U.S. to be fifty little independent republics governing themselves.' [Ohio Toxic Train Disaster] Ohio's Gop governor: Ohio Gops: Local officials: 'Joe! Pete! Help!'
This is so sad… I feel really bad for the mayor and the people of this town! Im so sorry this is happening! Im sorry that our government is abandoning town! ITS NOT RIGHT!! People should be really mad. Not just people of this town this should outrage every American!!!!
Where is PeteButtigieg SecretaryPete GovMikeDeWine WEWS Is anybody working!
Lmao I can see why
In case you didn't notice most of the people at the town meeting were white people who voted for President Trump. Do you really think the Biden administration cares about these people? This is what political retribution looks like.
Has he tried waving a Ukrainian flag?
