See what happens when a GOP senator drags a stick along a creek bed near a train wreck in Ohio
The Biden administration’s repeated failure to provide disaster relief to residents of the Norfolk Southern train crash area in and around East Palestine, Ohio, is staggering.
On Wednesday, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency released the results of its testing of local water supplies.
“These results show the absence of contaminants in raw water from five wells that feed East Palestine’s municipal water supply,” the agency said.
“Test results of the pooled treated water from all five wells also showed no detection of contaminants associated with derailment,” the report said.
The state Environmental Protection Agency has concluded that it is “confident” that the city’s water is safe to drink.

See what happens when a GOP senator drags a stick along a creek bed near a train wreck in Ohio
Ohio Senator JD Vance, a Republican, visited the area on Thursday to conduct his own test. The results revealed a completely different—and stunning—reality.
Vance was dragging a stick along the bed of a local stream. Immediately one could see what looked like toxins bubbling in the water.
“Hey guys, I’m here at Lesley Run and there are dead worms and dead fish all over this water,” the senator said in a video posted to Twitter. “I just discovered that if you scrape the bed of a stream, it’s like a chemical coming out of the ground.”
Vance did so, and an oily sheen appeared on the surface.
Does this water look clean to you?
“Just look at how this chemical flows out of the stream,” he said. “It’s disgusting. And what we haven’t removed [from] train wreck, the fact that these chemicals are still seeping into the ground is an insult to the people living in East Palestine.
“Don’t forget these people. We must continue to apply pressure. This is how we will solve this problem. Thank you.”
Today I visited a local stream in Eastern Palestine. These waterways are still very polluted. Time for Norfolk Southern to finish cleaning. Watch this video: pic.twitter.com/4lsHBmrMJj

The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency said that sampling the water from the stream on Feb. 10 showed “very low levels of two pollutants, butyl acylate and ethylhexyl acrylate … that dissipate rapidly.”
Of course, there were plenty of liberal, helpful idiots on hand who were eager to carry water (no pun intended) for the Biden administration, discrediting the Vance test.
“As soon as you dip the tip of a stick into water, it leaves traces of hydrocarbons,” one of them said. “Which means the stick was covered in it.
As soon as you dip the tip of the stick into the water, it leaves traces of HC.
This means that the stick was covered with it. Like its end is darker than the rest of the stick and it just touches the water.
No one doubts that hydrocarbons are now in the water. But we must suspect your motives. pic.twitter.com/NDb7Y8poU7

Maybe because he already put the stick in the water, Guacamole Dave.
Others have shared similar videos on social media.
This is Leslie Run yesterday when they had their press conference on TV saying the infestation was basically contained. Only two chemicals are still found. But not in large quantities. @MorePerfectUS @JoshShapiroPA @OhioEPA @EPA @EPAwater What is this?? butyl acrylate? pic.twitter.com/OMIDtQwNx4

MORE evidence that the EPA is lying to the people of East Palestine.
THIS WATER IS CRAZY POLLUTED. pic.twitter.com/rNlNxxBTDd

Approximately 2 miles from the site of the fallout, a local resident named Jennifer turned over rocks today and visible chemicals seeped to the surface of the water at Lesley Run.
It is not normal.

Many appreciated Vance’s tweet.
Thanks for debunking this. The EP people are all over social media talking about how grateful they are for using your platform and showing the world. Please keep fighting for the people of Ohio. Get Devine to declare a state of emergency.

Theodore Roosevelt looks at you with pride – well done for standing up for truly forgotten people.

On Wednesday, Fox News host Harris Faulkner shared a clip of medical officer Dr. Mark Siegel, who said: “I’m worried about the future of vinyl chloride, small amounts in the environment, leading to cancer. … Even small amounts in the environment can affect the fertility of future generations.”
This appears to be a major environmental disaster, and the administration’s failure to respond appropriately will stain Joe Biden’s presidency.
Vance provided a visual representation that we can all understand. It is clear that everything No well in East Palestine.
You don’t need a degree to know something is wrong.
