Joy Behar suggested that residents in East Palestine were getting what they deserved — or at least what they had voted for — in the wake of the disastrous train derailment that occurred nearly three weeks earlier.

In the days since the derailment and crash — involving a number of cars that were carrying Toxic materials — residents have worried that chemicals seeping into the ground and fumes from subsequent fires could introduce those toxins into the air and water supply for months or years to come.

However, Behar said on ABC’s “The View” that he was not surprised by the statement. “The View,” Former President Donald Trump supported deregulation in most industries. The overwhelming majority of Trump voters voted for Trump because they believed that Trump was the natural result.
