FEMA’s delay is unconscionable given the magnitude of this catastrophe poisoning the water and air quality of multiple states. This administration will be held accountable for generations of cancers. The White House knew the chemicals were the most carcinogenic ever known.

Funny how that far left rag propaganda rag Forbes /s has an article from the beginning of February about Buttegeig ramping up transportation safety initiatives. https://www.forbes.com/sites/rhettbuttle/2023/02/02/infrastructure-safety-and-equity-a-conversation-with-transportation-secretary-pete-buttigieg/?sh=2f22e5cf47b1

That infrastructure bill provisions are only just starting to turn on.

But I'm sure you aren't hearing any of that from FOX News, who is too busy trying to deflect from Trump's gross malfeasance of rolling back dozens of regulations that could have prevented this.

Also the state could have instituted regulations after Trump killed the federal ones, but didn’t.

No matter how much they keep trying to shift the blame, this is still 100% on Republicans.

Republicans love deregulation. That would lead to more of this:

13 year old children cleaning meat packing plants using caustic chemicals around dangerous sharp equipment...

Just lovely. Republicans truly disgust me with their blind trust of industry and constant push to deregulate everything.

DeWine finally relents and the Feds are on the scene almost immediately

Thank you Trump for showing you still care about Americans first!

Biden never "denied" anything. Nothing could happen until the Governor acted. Please stop with the lies.

False narrative. White House was offering and sending resources long before Trump got into the mix.
