When asked how Biden’s’s” Environmental Justice” Purchase aids East Palestine, Karine Jean-Pierre veers off the track.

Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, was questioned by a reporter on Friday about what President Joe Biden’s’s new” environmental justice” executive order would do for the devastated town of East Palestine, Ohio, which left her rambling for almost two minutes without responding.

That’s’s a really good question, Jean-Pierre remarked. The president’s’s continued support for his ambitious climate agenda is what I believe is most significant to note about this environmental justice [ executive order ]. He has the most ambitious climate agenda of any president in history, and one way to look at this today is that he’s’s still delivering on that ambitious agenda and isn’t finished yet. After all, this is just a continuation of what the American people have been promised.

Jean-Pierre continued in the same manner for quite another minute.

Biden’s’s decision to use a checklist to evaluate all public agencies'” efforts to advance environmental fairness” was being announced by the press secretary. East Palestine, which is still suffering from a train accident on February 3 that contaminated the region with dangerous chemicals, is likely to benefit little from the program. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg traveled to East Palestine three weeks before the Biden administration, which was widely criticized for how it handled the issue. Now, the president hasn’t visited the Ohio place.

Jean-Pierre remarked,” This is just delivering … on how he sees moving forward with dealing with climate change.” ” That is going to become our main concern.”

East Palestine has been deemed safe by Biden’s’s Environmental Protection Agency, but this month, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention analysts looking into the region reported getting cramps and vomiting. Similar problems have been reported by city residents.
