Senator JD Vance has been on the ground in East Palestine a lot lately and today he’s demonstrating how the waterways are still very polluted.
He starts by saying that he sees dead fish and worms all throughout the water at Leslie Run.
He then demonstrates how if you scrape the creek bed, you can see chemical quickly coming to the top of the water:
Visited a local creek in East Palestine today. These waterways are still very polluted. It’s time for Norfolk Southern to finish the cleanup. Check this video out: pic.twitter.com/4lsHBmrMJj

Vance doesn’t mention Norfolk Southern in the video but definitely on the tweet itself, saying they need to finish the cleanup.
If it’s this bad in the waterways, I wonder what happens if you scrape the ground outside? Probably won’t be able to see it if chemical rises up but they should be able to test for it.
This is a serious problem and I can’t believe Buttigieg isn’t on the ground there because he could make things happen a lot quicker than anyone else.
