A few years ago Charlie Le Duff went to Garbutt, NY to do a story for the forgotten working white man. This had TPC written all over it, but we didn’t get credit! Now LeDuff is at it again, with East Palestine, OH. East Palestine had the train of hazardous waste derail. Instead of clean up and containment, the powers that be had a big bonfire. And now Norfolk Southern is cleaning up the mess with no oversight. And the media has ignored East Palestine.
Here’s why East Palestine is being ignored. First; the people are not in a protected group. Not overwhelming minority, female, LGBTQ, or liberal. Second; look who’s the Secretary of Transportation. Between the port of Los Angeles, the air traffic meltdowns, and now this, its not shocking he still has a job! But; he’s in a protected group. Then there’s the Commander in Chief. He has not visited East Palestine, still. Trump visited the area, brought supplies and bought lunch for people, as a private citizen, not as Commander in Chief. The media is also covering this boondoggle as its another fuck up from the Bumbler in Chief! Wake up people!
