Trent Conaway, the Mayor of East Palestine, Ohio, the site of a toxic train derailment a few years ago, spoke at the Republican National Convention tonight and bashed the Biden administration for abandoning the people of his town after the disaster.
Conaway noted that Donald Trump was there right away with supplies of fresh drinking water. He talked about how Trump shared a meal with first responders at McDonald’s and how Trump showed real leadership when the people of his community needed it most.
He concluded his remarks by saying, “We need a leader who values small-town communities as much as big cities. We need a President who loves ALL Americans. We need Donald J. Trump.”

The disaster in East Palestine was a tragedy for the residents and a test of leadership for the Biden administration. Biden failed that test. Trump passed the test, even though he had no obligation to do so.
