PolitiFact admitted that former President Donald Trump’s deregulation of an Obama-era rule didn’t have any impact on the Ohio train disaster, despite the media blather insinuating the contrary.
The leftist fact-checker conceded Feb. 17 that even if the 2015 Obama-era regulation “requiring high-hazard cargo trains to be equipped with electronically controlled pneumatic brakes by 2023” was still in effect, it wouldn’t have made a difference in preventing the Ohio train disaster. “[The rule] would not have applied to the Norfolk Southern train that derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, because it was not categorized as a high-hazard cargo train,” PolitiFact wrote. This flies in the face of liberal media outlets infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome trying to use the deregulated 2015 Obama rule as a cudgel to wantonly blame Trump for the derailed train. Trump visited the toxic fume-ridden East Palestine on Feb. 22.
MRC Business & Free Speech America Vice President Dan Schneider slammed the media’s attempts to turn the Ohio disaster into an anti-Trump talking point. “The legacy media just can’t help themselves,” he said. “They worked overtime to install Joe Biden as president and they’re doing everything they can to ensure that the Democrats retain the White House even though they’ve got a disastrous track record and terrible candidates.”

DO YOU HEAR THAT YOU BIG MOUTH RED-HEADED SHREW ON THE VIEW??? Dumbest person on the planet, her and the lot of them.
A couple of days ago when this was the new Media-Dem talking point ABC news announced that this is one of their headline stories. They reported on it about halfway thru the program, then at the very end said that no evidence had been provided to support their contention. But, they know that a lot of people just tune in for the headlines, so they got the talking point out there first. They are truly a despicable dishonest bunch.
“even if the 2015 Obama-era regulation “requiring high-hazard cargo trains to be equipped with electronically controlled pneumatic brakes by 2023” was still in effect, it wouldn’t have made a difference”
Wait, so all of those liberals on Twitter (and elsewhere) were lying? Shocking.
Democrat leadership acting like East Palestine is Israel, not a city in Ohio.
MSM never changes propaganda is their game.
When PolitiFact admitted the media was deep in the stink tank on that story it’s as low as you can go.
True dat
