At least five (though some reports of six) have died, with over 60 injured (some critically) from an Amtrak derailment near Philadelphia. The train was headed from Washington DC to New York. You would think that even the scum of the earth left would show a little sympathy for those who died in the Amtrak derailment near Philadelphia. But that was too much to ask. Politico, the left wing biased political site wasted no time in attributing blame the to GOP:
5 dead Amtrak derailment – leftists blame GOP |
An Amtrak train from D.C. to New York City derailed Tuesday night in Philadelphia, killing at least five people and injuring dozens — on the eve of a House markup of a bill that would slash the passenger rail service’s budget.
Then you have your usual leftist scum on social media blaming the GOP for the Amtrak derailment.

Today's RWNJ conspiracy theory
