Mike Pence has once again revealed his true colors, and they're not red, white, and blue. The former Vice President's think tank is actively working to delay justice for the suffering families of East Palestine, Ohio, choosing instead to protect the corporate railroad interests that fill his coffers.

Nearly three years after the catastrophic Norfolk Southern train derailment poisoned an entire community, Pence is siding with wealthy donors over the American families who are still dealing with contaminated water, toxic soil, and serious health problems. This betrayal has ignited a firestorm of outrage from MAGA conservatives who see this as yet another example of swamp creature priorities.

Social media erupted with condemnation of Pence's corporate-first stance. Bradley Jaye captured the hypocrisy perfectly, posting: "Mike Pence's hostility towards Trump isn't all he has in common with Joe Biden. Like Biden, he's also turned a deaf ear to the train derailment victims of East Palestine, Ohio, siding instead with corporate lobbyists opposing accountability for the accident."

The comparison to Biden is particularly damning. While President Trump has consistently championed the forgotten Americans of East Palestine and promised real accountability, both Pence and the previous administration have treated these victims like political inconveniences.

MAGA Patriots See Through the Charade

Conservative voices across social media are calling out Pence's latest betrayal. The pattern is clear: whenever there's a choice between doing right by everyday Americans or protecting establishment interests, Pence chooses the swamp every single time.

"This is exactly why Trump was right to move on from Pence. The man has no loyalty to the people who put him in office, only to the donors who keep him relevant in Washington," one MAGA activist noted.

The East Palestine disaster exposed the complete failure of our regulatory agencies and corporate responsibility. Families are still suffering from health issues, property damage, and environmental contamination. They deserve justice, not more delays orchestrated by think tanks protecting railroad profits.

How many more betrayals will it take before Republicans finally learn that Mike Pence represents everything wrong with the old GOP establishment? The people of East Palestine deserve better than corporate apologists masquerading as public servants.

This is exactly why we can't trust the establishment GOP anymore. Pence showed his true colors on January 6th and now he's showing them again by siding with corporations over working families in Ohio.

100% agree. These people in East Palestine are still suffering and where is Pence? Protecting his donors instead of Americans.

Can someone explain what specific actions Pence's think tank took to block justice? I want to share this but need more details.

They're lobbying against the Railway Safety Act and other legislation that would hold Norfolk Southern accountable for the derailment.

I worked for Norfolk Southern for 30 years and let me tell you, they will spend millions on lobbying before they spend a dime helping those families. Disgusting that Pence is part of this.

Pence is a RINO snake! Trump would never abandon Americans like this.
