East Palestine, Ohio Mayor Trent Conaway got up in front of the RNC and told a whopper about the Biden administration’s response to the catastrophic derailment in his village:
CONAWAY: For the longest time the White House was silent, and we never heard a word. I guess we weren't their type of folks. No Hollywood elites or Wall Street billionaires live in East Palestine. Just hardworking Americans.
Maybe Conaway thought nobody would fact check that statement because lies obviously don’t matter to Trump fans. If so, Conaway was mistaken.
Here’s Republican Governor Mike DeWine telling the public that President Biden called him after the derailment, offering “anything you need” but that nothing was needed.
