"The View" co-host Joy Behar lashed out at East Palestine, Ohio, residents on Thursday while blaming former President Donald Trump for the train derailment and said, "that's who you voted for."
"I don’t know why they would ever vote for him, somebody who, by the way, he placed someone with deep ties to the chemical industry in charge of the EPA's chemical safety office. That's who you voted for in that district, Donald Trump, who reduces all safety," Behar said while pointing at the camera.
Behar also said East Palestine residents need to "look past the photo ops," referring to Trump's visit to the town on Wednesday, and see "who is doing the job here."
Co-hosts Sara Haines and Alyssa Farah Griffin argued that "showing up" is a big deal for the East Palestine community.
Co-host Sunny Hostin concluded at the end of the segment that it was Trump's fault.
"It's his fault, and then he shows up," Behar added.
