The February 2023 rail disaster in East Palestine, Ohio, left a chemical mess. There were things that should have been in place that could have prevented that disaster. There was (and still is) an effort to put regulations in place that would prevent such a disaster from happening again. Those measures were put forth by J.D. Vance when he was in the Senate and being discussed again. Mike Pence (supported by wealthy donors), who plans on opposing J.D. Vance for the Presidential nomination in 2028, is speaking out against the regulations.<\/p>\n
On Friday, Breitbart<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n Mike Pence is siding with wealthy donors over victims of the East Palestine, Ohio, rail disaster, earning a cacophony of outrage from conservatives and prominent MAGA voices.<\/strong><\/p>\n Pence, who like Democrats reflexively opposes Trump on issue after issue as he woos establishment corporate donors to enrich himself through his non-profit and stake a claim in the narrowing establishment lane for the 2028 Republican nomination, is fighting a bill first championed by then-Ohio Sen. JD Vance\u00a0\u2014 and Pence\u2019s likely 2028 primary opponent\u00a0\u2014 to implement safety regulations for trains carrying hazardous materials.<\/strong><\/p>\n The article quotes the Daily Wire<\/a>:<\/p>\n One of the groups opposing the bill is Mike Pence\u2019s Advancing American Freedom \u2014 a fact seen as a net positive by those in Trump world who want the bill to finally advance. If the former vice president opposes something, it only makes it more of a priority for Trump\u2019s White House, one senior official told The Daily Wire.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cAnyone that wants the Trump administration to support a piece of legislation should pay Mike Pence\u2019s think tank and its lobbying arm to oppose it,\u201d the senior White House official told The Daily Wire.<\/strong><\/p>\n The article concludes:<\/p>\n David Freeman used his popular X account Gunther Eagleman to accuse Pence of selling out to lobbyists.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cTHREE YEARS after the toxic TRAIN DISASTER in East Palestine that poisoned American families\u2026 MIKE PENCE and his globalist think tank are now LEADING the charge to BLOCK Trump\u2019s rail safety bill! Never Trump RINOs NEVER change, they ALWAYS sell out hardworking Americans to Big Rail lobbyists,\u201d he posted<\/a>. \u201cTrump and JD Vance are fighting for Americans, Pence is fighting AGAINST Americans. Disgraceful. Traitorous. EXACTLY why we dumped him.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n …The battle for the Railway Safety Act continues on Capitol Hill, and Trump and Vance remain steadfast supporters. Time will tell if Congress sides with the innocent people of East Palestine or Pence and the cabal of corporate lobbyists fighting for the dangerous but lucrative status quo.<\/strong><\/p>\n Mike Pence believes that Donald Trump should never be President. I believe that Mike Pence should never again have political power in Washington.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The February 2023 rail disaster in East Palestine, Ohio, left a chemical mess.
