President Biden recently traveled to East Palestine, Ohio, to make his first appearance at the site of the disastrous train deraiIment that happened over a year ago. The accident had a catastrophic impact on the surrounding community, and many have criticized the Biden administration for its lackluster response.
As one might expect, many residents of East Palestine harbor a good deal of resentment toward Joe Biden, slamming the president for waiting so Iong to visit. In contrast, Donald Trump made it a point to visit the community shortly after the accident, providing aid and resources to impacted residents.
Recent footage captured in East Palestine shows a crowd of angry residents protesting Biden’s visit for being too little too Iate. The video shows the crowd shouting “Let’s Go Brandon” while displaying a sea of Trump memorabilia.
Conservative journalist Ben Bergquam captured the atmosphere of the event, uploading it to X. “Guys out here nice Palestinian. This is Joe Biden finally showing up more than a year Iater. And that’s the message real simple too little too late. too little too late,” he said in the video.
WATCH : Sen. Tim Scott joined “The View” on Monday and it did not take long for the gloves to come off
South Carolina Republican Sen. Tim Scott joined “The View” on Monday and it did not take Iong for the gloves to come off.
The show began fairly light-hearted with Scott speaking about his 2024 presidential campaign, but ended up sparring with co-host Sunny Hostin after she pressed him to define “systemic rac ism.”
The conversation began when Alyssa Farah Griffin asked Scott about his optimistic message and his running on his Iife story of having overcome great adversity to live the American dream. Then, Hostin hijacked the conversation and attempted to spar with Scott over his positions.
The interview got so tense at one moment that Goldberg asked the crew for help when she was demanding Scott stop talking so they could cut to commerciaI.
Below is a partial transcript of the exchange:
HOSTIN: I am actually happy that you’re here. We — we — we have some things in common. You grow up — you grew up in a singIe-family household, single-mother household, I grew up with both of my parents but raised in the Bronx projects amidst a lot of poverty and — and — and violence. And you were the first black senator elected in the south since the reconstruction, that would be about — I think, about 114 years. Yet you say that your life disproves left—leftist lies. And — and —
Scott: Yes.
HOSTIN: my question to you is, I’m the exception, right? You’re the exception. Maybe even Ms. Whoopi Goldberg is the exception but — but —
HAINES: She is definitely the exception.
