Several MAGA-aligned Republicans criticized President Joe Biden for going to Ukraine before visiting East Palestine, Ohio, where a train derailment has caused a massive environmental disaster.
‘When our border is in crisis, Joe Biden goes home for a nap in Delaware. When Ohio burns with toxic chemicals, Biden’s administrator says all is well. So on Presidents Day, I’m not surprised Biden is ditching America for Ukraine,” Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz complained on Twitter. He abandoned the interests of the United States from the beginning of his presidency. They can keep it!”
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene had a similar opinion.
‘Biden did not go to East Palestine, Ohio, on President’s Day. He went to the Ukraine, a non-NATO nation whose leader is an actor and apparently now commanding our US military in world war,” Greene tweeted. ‘We must impeach this foolish America Last before it’s too late.’
Other Republicans, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, suggested that Biden cared more about the Ukrainian borders than the US-Mexico borders.

Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz has said the Ukrainian can stay with President Joe Biden, after the president made a secret trip to the war-torn nation to shore up Western support.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene again called for the impeachment of President Joe Biden, this time because he went to Ukraine via Ohio
Rep. Scott Perry, D-Pennsylvania, said it was “impressive that President Biden can show up in Ukraine to make sure his border is secure, but he can’t do the same for America.”
“I think a lot of Americans and I think to ourselves that he is very concerned about those borders on the other side of the world. He is not doing anything to secure our own border here at home,” DeSantis said during an appearance on Fox & Friends.
“He brought in millions and millions of people, tens of thousands of dead Americans,” DeSantis added, referring to the fentanyl trade, which has skyrocketed the number of drug overdoses in the United States.

Former Rep. Mayra Flores, who briefly held a Democratic-leaning seat in Texas, also pointed to the lack of a Biden visit to Ohio.
‘On Presidents’ Day, Joe Biden decided to visit Ukraine before Ohio. Retweet if you think Biden is the worst president in American history,” he wrote.

Donald Trump Jr. was one of MAGA’s spokesmen to go after President Joe Biden for his surprise trip to Ukraine
Bernard Kerik, the Trump-aligned former NYPD police commissioner who also received a pardon from Trump, used the business dealings of Biden’s son Hunter to connect the dots.
Republicans have criticized the administration’s response to the February 3 Norfolk Southern train derailment, in which 50 cars skidded off the tracks, causing a massive fire and a toxic spill.
Former President Donald Trump is using the disaster to make a rare appearance on the campaign trail, announcing on Saturday that he would be visiting the Ohio community.
‘Great people who need help, NOW!’ Trump posted on Truth social.
Trump will address Eastern Palestine on Wednesday.
Historically, Ohio was a swing state for the presidency, but in recent years it has become redder, especially during the Trump political era.
Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., was among the MAGA spokesmen who shamed Biden for making the trip to Ukraine on Monday.
‘Of course Joe Biden is in the Ukraine and not in Ohio…’ Trump Jr tweeted. ‘Because fuck the Americans.’
Bernard Kerik, the Trump-aligned former NYPD police commissioner who also received a pardon from Trump, used the business dealings of Biden’s son Hunter to connect the dots.
‘He and Hunter have financial ties to the Ukraine, he has no ties to the border or eastern Palestine, Ohio!’ Kerik tweeted.
