Biden Blasted for Sidestepping Ohio to Visit Ukraine, Give Them More Money

Spencer Covered After a secret visit to Ukraine and a meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky, President Joe Biden arrived in Kiev on Monday morning. 

“As we approach the anniversary of Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine, I’m in Kyiv today to meet with President Zelenskyy and reaffirm our unwavering commitment to Ukraine’s democracy, sovereignty, and territorial integrity,” Monday’s statement by Biden “When Putin launched his invasion nearly one year ago, he thought Ukraine was weak and the West was divided. He thought he could outlast us. But he was dead wrong…Over the last year, the United States has built a coalition of nations from the Atlantic to the Pacific to help defend Ukraine with unprecedented military, economic, and humanitarian support – and that support will endure.” 

Kyiv is still standing a year later. Ukraine is standing. Democracy stands. America — and the world — stands with Ukraine.

But back home, Biden’s trip has sparked outrage as he continues to ignore the chemical spill and burn after a train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has been complaining about white construction workers instead of seriously addressing health and contamination concerns. 

So instead of going to East Palestine, Ohio, Biden goes to Ukraine and get this called ahead to tell Russia “Hey don’t do anything while I’m in town” …. Can’t make this stuff up.

“I’ve got to say: the Secretary of Transportation not talking about this issue…talking about how we have too many white-male construction workers instead of the fact that our trains are crashing at alarming rates. The guy needs to do his job.” – Senator @JDVance1 pic.twitter.com/WzTizjk0Hh
