9:33Now PlayingFox News host, Jesse Watters, goes on a racist rant trying to fearmonger about a race war ideology and trying to put blame on EPA head, Michael S. Regan, for the horrific East Palestine chemical train derailment in Ohio. John Iadarola and Brett Erlich break it down on The Damage Report.

Rightwing media weaponize the East Palestine train derailment to claim white conservatives are being persecuted
"Right-wing media have used the recent train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, to baselessly claim that the government’s response and lack of substantial media coverage are because the afflicted county is primarily white and conservative. Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk even went as far to say that this incident is proof that there is a “war on white people.”
On February 3, 2023, a train carrying chemicals and other hazardous materials derailed — and subsequently caught fire — in East Palestine, Ohio. Fearful of a potentially dangerous explosion resulting from “unstable” substances, many residents were instructed to evacuate and schools were temporarily closed while “authorities performed a controlled release of the toxic materials from five train car tankers on Feb. 6, and the contents were diverted to a trench and burned off.” Residents were allowed to return on February 8, and on February 12, the Environmental Protection Agency said it did not detect harmful substances at “levels of concern.” Despite being told they are safe, some residents have reported feeling sick since the incident."
