Erin Brockovich, a well-known famous activist, has now joined the crowds of people looking into the events surrounding the train derailment which spawned an environmental disaster that has taken place in East Palestine, Ohio, and she stated that she thinks President Joe Biden’s administration is obviously hiding something very important from the American public.
Brockovich, who has also made time to speak to both MSNBC and CNN regarding her experience talking to people that were directly affected by the derailment and its following fires and explosion, explained to Fox News host Tucker Carlson this past Friday that Biden’s response to the events has ended up falling much too short of what it should be. And to make matters much worse, she stated, the people there believe that the president has left them to deal with the situations on their own.

“We’re pushing a month now and they still don’t have any answers. It’s very obvious something’s really gone wrong out here,” started Brockovich. “And I’ve been out here down on the ground and they’re really frustrated, why they don’t feel that their agencies or their administration cares about what’s happened to the community. So it is very apparent they are, are concerned and not being seen or heard.”
Carlson then attempted to push Brockovich to go further, issuing questions about whether she thought there was additional more specific information that the Biden administration was trying to hide from the public — and she seemed to confirm that she did.
“Yeah, there is. And I mean, it’s like, Oh my gosh, come on. Oh, we’re out here. What, 44,000 fish are dead? We’ve seen them. We’ve seen them out here today aerating the creeks. They’re removing stuff. That, the wellheads are locked. What’s up?” She went on to state, making the argument that it was no different than groups of miners keeping a “canary in the mine shaft” as a means to know if it was safe to breathe the air.
“Send the canary down there, it dies: Might not be good for humans. You have dead fish: might not be good for humans. You have dead animals: might not be good for humans. You’ve sent a horrible mixed message to this community. Drink the water. Don’t drink the water. Safe. Not safe,” she went on. “It’s — It’s horribly confusing and extremely frustrating to them. And something actually has gone wrong here. And there’s information that has yet to come forward, and the story will continue to unfold.”
Carlson then pressed much harder, asking what she actually meant when she stated that the wellheads had been shut down, and she explained that a number of water sources had been blocked despite claims that they were entirely safe.
“So, so in the schools, so the children can’t drink the fountains, and then on private wells around here, they’ve got locks on them. So they obviously — aw, come on. Wha– if there’s no problem, you don’t need to lock up a drinking fountain. You don’t need to be aerating the system. And you can explain away all day long to me that nothing’s wrong. But I, I see what’s going on here,” she finished. “You’re not gonna gaslight me.”
