This is what America is all about.
Conservative commentator Benny Johnson traveled to East Palestine to gift 20 forgotten residents living closest to the site of the train derailment that resulted in a toxic controlled burn earlier this month with $1,000 checks each.
We took all our social media revenue and gave it to the people most affected by the toxic explosion in East Palestine.
These reactions say it all.
We don’t need to wait for the government to help out our fellow Americans in need.

The residents revealed they’ve received little assurances from the federal or state governments and from Norfolk Southern, and were overjoyed and grateful for the unexpected check from a concerned American.
“I haven’t talked to anyone from the railroad. They’re all hiding,” one resident said.
After initially denying federal assistance to East Palestine residents, Biden reverse course once former President Donald Trump announced he’d visit the area on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Biden is currently visiting Ukraine.
