The audience at ABC’s “The View” gasped loudly after co-host Joy Behar suggested the people in East Palestine, Ohio got what they deserved with the train derailment disaster because they voted for President Donald Trump.
“I don’t know why they would ever vote for him, for somebody who, by the way, he placed someone with deep ties to the chemical industry in charge of the EPA’s chemical safety office,” said Behar.
“That’s who you voted for in that district,” she added pointing directly into the camera.
“Donald Trump, who reduces all safety.”
Joy Behar implies that the people of East Palestine voted for Trump, so they got what they deserve.
The psychotic contempt of idiotic elites for Trump *voters* has corroded brains and souls

News Busters’ Nicholas Fondacaro broke down what happened on “The View:”
“’The View’ speaks about the East Palestine derailment for the first time in Hot Topics – 20 days after the disaster.
“Sunny Hostin commends Pete Buttigieg for NOT going there.”
“He’s not there yet,” Fondacaro quotes Hostin.
“He received a lot of criticism for it … And I actually appreciate that,” Hostin added.
“Hostin appears to claim the derailment happened under the Trump administration,” Fondacaro says.
“This is serious stuff,” Hostin said on “The View.”
“And this did happen under the Trump administration,” she claimed.
“We saw a real shift when it came to deregulation and the Trump administration.”
“It disgusted me!” Hostin decalred.
“Sunny condemns Trump for showing up in East Palestine with clean water and bantering with the local McDonald’s staff,” Fondacaro continues.
“Joy Behar says the residents of East Palestine got what they deserved because they voted for Trump.”
“That’s who you voted for!” Behar shouted at the camera.
“In that district,” she added.
“Donald Trump, who reduces all safety. He did in those days.”
“It disgusted me!”
