Biden admin turns down Ohio's request for disaster assistance after toxic derailment
'FEMA continues to tell Governor DeWine that Ohio is not eligible for assistance,' governor's office says

By Thomas Catenacci | Fox News

The Biden administration turned down a request for federal disaster assistance from Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine in the aftermath of the train derailment in the state earlier this month that led to a large release of toxic chemicals.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) told Ohio's state government that it was not eligible for disaster assistance to help the community recover from the toxic spill, Dan Tierney, a spokesperson for DeWine, told Fox News Digital on Thursday. Tierney explained that FEMA believed the incident didn't qualify 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 a statement earlier in the day. "Governor DeWine will continue working with FEMA to determine what assistance can be provided."

FEMA said that its team is in constant communication with DeWine's office, but didn't comment on the request for federal relief.

After 13 days, Biden’s EPA admin FINALLY showed up in East Palestine.
I thought he’d need something to drink after walking so much, so I generously offered him a glass of tap water.
He declined.

Sen. J.D. Vance: EPA Administrator Should Drink East Palestine Water if It’s Safe

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) said on Wednesday that Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator Michael Regan should be willing to drink tap water in East Palestine, Ohio, if the EPA deems the village’s water safe for residents’ consumption.

The EPA administrator, like the Secretary of Transportation, ticks at least one of the right boxes.

EPA says burning vinyl chloride is safe to breathe, but carbon dioxide (naturally used in photosynthesis) must be eliminated at all costs. Tells you all you need to know!

Three people who have not gone to East Palestine, Ohio to reassure residents, despite one of the biggest ecological disasters in modern U.S. history: Mayor Pete, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris.

The Biden administration has even denied emergency aid to Ohio and the local community, which was deep red in 2020.

It is self-explanatory.

Some people ask “what does President Trump visiting Ohio actually do to help people”?!

Well FEMA just announced they’re going to start paying funds to the victims after Trump announced his visit

That’s power
