The Biden administration is rejecting a request for federal disaster assistance from Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine in the aftermath of the train derailment and ecological disaster that has devastated the area around East Palestine, Ohio.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) told Ohio’s state government that it was not eligible for disaster assistance, a spokesperson for DeWine told Fox News Digital on Thursday. The Dewine spokeseman explained that FEMA believed the incident qualified as a traditional disaster, such as a tornado or hurricane, for which it usually provides assistance. “The DeWine Administration has been in daily contact with FEMA to discuss the need for federal support, however FEMA continues to tell Governor DeWine that Ohio is not eligible for assistance at this time,” DeWine’s office said in an earlier statement. “Governor DeWine will continue working with FEMA to determine what assistance can be provided.”
FEMA merely said its team is in constant communication with DeWine’s office, but did not remark on the disaster relief.

Rogan O’Handley had his own theory on why the Biden administration won’t lift a finger to help the Ohio residents.
“Just in case you were wondering why Biden and Buttigieg are ignoring the toxic chemical spill in East Palestine, Ohio,” O’Handley remarked. “Columbiana County voted 71.7% for Trump in 2020.”

If the Biden administration’s behavior during the Covid pandemic is any indication, then it will bend over backwards to protect big corporate interests. Meanwhile, environmental activists like Al Gore and Greta Thunberg have been very silent about the Ohio ecological disaster. Something is rotten in Ohio — and it’s not just the dead fish.
Commentary:
More interesting comparison, since Buttigieg says there are 1000 of these derailments a year... how many in the past have resulted in FEMA aid? No one is disputing the number, they are claiming none compare to what's happened in East Palestine.
It’s the American Chernobyl. The only difference is that our President and is Merry Maoist Democrats are giving the poor people there the middle finger for not being in the right club.
Although there is some similarity to the EPA ecological disaster in 2015 at the Gold King Mine. The EPA never cleaned up their disaster and people down stream in towns, cities and especially on reservations and were poisoned by those waters from the mine.
