Tucker Carlson, host of Fox’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight” questioned the Biden administration on Monday for its “everything’s fine” response to an Ohio train derailment that sent poisonous smoke into the air.
“We don’t want to second-guess anybody. We’ve got to assume everybody involved is doing their best under a highly stressful situation, but did you see that mushroom cloud,” Carlson asked. “That was caused on purpose and maybe there was a good reason, again, no second-guessing, but what it means is those clouds of toxic smoke flew up and out and that toxic smoke almost immediately began killing animals and dead fish washing up on the shore. As one hazardous materials specialist put it, ‘We basically nuked the town with chemicals.’”
On February 3, a train carrying deadly chemicals derailed near East Palestine, Ohio, prompting evacuations and shelter-in-place orders as authorities worked to mitigate the chemical leak. Officials issued a warning of a probable “catastrophic blast” on February 6 after authorities did a controlled burn.

As a result of the derailment and leaks of the chemicals, at least one water provider began strengthening its treatment facilities and planning backup measures, according to the Associated Press.

Yes, an EPA spokesperson, explained that chemicals from the derailed train did enter the local watershed and, yes, they did kill fish, but the drinking water supply remains totally safe,” Carlson said. “The fish are dead, but go ahead and fill your thermos and brew some coffee. Everything’s fine,” he added. “Now, we don’t know if the locals in East Palestine are drinking the water tonight,tonight, but we can tell you that the Joe Biden administration doesn’t seem very concerned about either way. Donald Trump got over 71% of the vote in the county in the last presidential election, so that is not exactly the democratic party’s core demographic. Fentanyl, toxic waste spill, whatever they are not our voters, and by the way, what does a chemical spill have to do with climate change?”

“So nobody is paying attention to the most critical infrastructure? Not the racist roads, but food, water, energy, transportation infrastructure,” Carlson said. “Food, water, energy, infrastructure, what does that add up to? That adds up to a country. You cannot have a country without those things.”
Carlson has talked about these national security concerns on his show for some time. In the past, he has pointed out all the food processing plants that have mysteriously either caught on fire or exploded. He has talked about how the Biden administration has attacked our energy sector to the point where the country may be in trouble.
