Biden's confused response to question about train wreck

 Daily Mail:

President Joe Biden fumbled around his words as he tried to explain why he still has no plans to visit East Palestine after a toxic train derailment devastated the small Ohio community.

As he was leaving the White House on Friday to head to his Wilmington, Delaware residence, a reporter asked Biden if he was going to travel to East Palestine after his administration had been accused of ignoring the city's plight.

The president answered, 'At this point, I'm not,' but then he appeared confused and strained as he tried to explain himself.

'I did a whole video, I mean, um, what the hell, on,' Biden rambled as he looked for reporters to fill in the gap.

'Zoom?' one of the reporters said, trying to help the president.

'Zoom! All I can think of every time I think of Zoom is that song in my generation, Who's Zoomin' Who,' he said, referencing the Aretha Franklin song.

The odd exchange comes as the Biden administration is under fire for its alleged slow response to the disaster, where toxic chemicals were released into the air near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border on February 3, prompting 5,000 people to evacuate.

The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability has now opened an investigation against Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg for his alleged 'apathy' after waiting 20 days to visit the city.

President Trump has already visited the scene and brought with him food and water at his own expense.  I get the impression that Biden and his administration do not have the same concern for those suffering because of the wreck.
