Bannon’s War Room
As the people of East Palestine, Ohio come to grips with the damage done to their town in the wake of the Norfolk Southern train derailment on Feb. 3rd and subsequent “vent and burn” of five train carriages containing vinyl chloride on Feb. 6, state and federal officials are keeping quiet about who, how, and exactly what decisions are being made to clean up the considerable residue marring the land and waterways near the site of the wreck.
“The next step, Steve, is to get a statement from the Environmental Protection Agency. They have been dodging us since Tuesday,” Michael Patrick Leahy said to Stephen K. Bannon Friday afternoon during an appearance on War Room. Leahy, a veteran journalist, is the editor in chief of The Ohio Star and CEO of The Star News Network.
Leahy added, “You know Michael Regan, the [EPA] Administrator, went up to East Palestine and gave a very blasé talk about how they care, but is not giving any answers. And we need answers; and if we don’t get them, I think the Republican-controlled House and the U.S. Senators from Ohio should demand answers to those questions from Michael Regan. Who was the On-Site Coordinator? When and why did he give the order to “vent and burn?”
