Former Major League Baseball pitcher Curt Schilling bashed the Biden administration’s response to the Ohio train derailment, calling it “tragic and sad.”

Schilling told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday that he believed the people of East Palestine, Ohio, would have been helped in quick fashion had they been in “a county in California.”

“It’s frustrating,” Schilling said. “I feel for the people in East Palestine for this very reason: If this was a county in California, they would have been out there the day that it happened, or they would have evacuated the entire place. And that’s tragic and sad. They’re supposed to be a government of the people and for the people, not of the voters and for the people that like them.”

The former Philadelphia Phillies pitcher was joined by former Republican Arkansas governor and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee in disdain for the slow response concerning aid and safety testing.

“It shouldn’t have taken this long for the federal government to respond,” Huckabee said. “And for FEMA to first say it’s not a disaster we’re going to engage with, why not? They engage in these kind of things, and they should have jumped in immediately.”

"And the one thing that government ought to do is to be blind to the politics of any geographical location or any people when there is a disaster involved. In fact, I would suggest you work harder to go to those areas that didn’t vote for you to show that you really care more about America than you do about your own political party," he said.

Schilling also noted that he anticipates lawsuits to come as a result of the lack of adequate safety testing and the Biden administration’s response.

“I think we’re talking about potentially trillions of dollars in class action lawsuits — trillions of dollars that the government will have to get from the taxpayers to pay the people who will so deservedly want it,” Schilling said.

In addition to the Ohio train derailment, Schilling was critical of the Biden administration’s continued involvement in the war in Ukraine.

“I am offended that these people on the Left are talking to us as if we are as stupid as we know they are,” Schilling said. “I am wondering if we're not finally realizing that the Left is the side of conflict, confrontation, and war that they claim the Right has always been.”
