Biden: ‘I Haven’t Had the Occasion to Go to East Palestine’

President Joe Biden on Saturday claimed that he has not “had the occasion” to go East Palestine, Ohio, despite promising to do so back in March, after the village suffered air and water contamination from a chemical spill resulting after a trail derailment. Biden gave a rambling answer after a reporter asked him why he had not yet visited, saying: BIDEN: “I haven’t had the occasion to go to East Palestine. There’s a lot going on.”
