Biden Arrives in Maui and the People Let Him Have It, Big Time

Quote:Joe Biden has finally shown up in Maui almost two weeks after the fire that hit the area, after multiple refusals to comment about the disaster, and after two vacations in the meantime including Rehoboth Beach and Lake Tahoe.

Biden showed even with the trip to Lake Tahoe what his priorities were, and they don't seem to be the people of Maui. He's been in Tahoe since Friday and is only taking a few hours in Hawaii basically because he was shamed into it after his horrible response of "No comment" on his Rehoboth Beach vacation last Sunday, when he smirked when asked about the death toll. Then Biden is heading back to the rest of his vacation at billionaire Tom Steyer's $18 million lakefront estate. Biden's reaction truly tells you what his priorities are.

It wasn't just Biden's callous response that was the problem. As we've previously reported, a lot of the citizens were asking where was FEMA — where was the federal government in response to this. The White House and the FEMA Director got grilled on this by reporters last week, and FEMA Director Deanne Criswell's response was that they had been there since day one and the citizens had gone through a "trauma." She almost seemed to be suggesting that the citizens didn't know what they were talking about in saying they weren't getting answers. But that was repeated over and over again in multiple reports. So it wasn't the citizens with the issue, it was the federal government. Many people didn't even want him to come and were upset at how he and the government had handled things thus far.

But White House spokesperson Olivia Dalton said on Monday that Biden intended to tell the citizens he meets with while he is there that he and the federal government have been there since day one. That's truly just rubbing salt in the wound when they know that isn't true; it's trying to rewrite history on the back of the disaster that has brought them so much suffering.

So when Biden finally showed up on Monday, people were lined along the roads with signs to greet him, and let him know exactly what they thought of him.

People were out in force protesting, some who had been there for hours, with cardboard signs saying, "He's too late," "he should've been here much earlier," and "actions speak louder than words." And even then, it's only because he was basically shamed into it that he's there.

Biden is kept so in his bubble, he's finally getting to see people protesting his shameful behavior and letting him know exactly what they think about him. He's going to meet with victims and first responders. I expect his people to try to have that be private, but I have to imagine there might be a few words said to him there as well.

Frustrated Maui Residents Go off on Joe Biden Ahead of Visit as Incredible Statement Is Issued

Quote:Though opinions no doubt vary, in mine I don't think it's even arguable at this point that the failures of key Hawaii officials in their handling of the Maui fire crisis likely led to more deaths and devastation. And sadly, the death toll, which now stands at 114, is likely to climb as over 800 people are reportedly still unaccounted for.

But the Biden administration's response to the tragedy that has unfolded has also been a disaster in its own right, brought on mostly by President Joe Biden himself, starting with his initial callous pre-vacation "no comment" answer when asked about the rising death toll, and not improving one bit from there.

So with all of that in mind, many of Biden's critics were left shaking their heads in disbelief after the statement made Monday by White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Olivia Dalton on how Biden would tell Maui residents during his visit later in the day that he had been there for them "since day one":

Yeah, no, we know that's not true and we know that even though our illustrious (ha!) fact-checkers in the MSM have not gotten on the case (and likely won't).

As you might expect, whether they were made aware of Dalton's remarks or not, some Maui residents have made it clear that Joe Biden is not welcome in their community

Like this one:

And these residents:

I've seen some of Biden's defenders say on Twitter that he's in a no-win situation, that no matter what he does he's going to get criticized for how he handles this.

But the problem with that is that he could have avoided some of the criticism by at least putting on the appearance of being a leader instead of leaving for what is his umpteenth vacation (twice in one week!) this summer and at the very least pretending to care when asked by a reporter about the lives that have been lost.

As RedState readers know all too well, Republican presidents have been raked over the coals by the Usual Suspects in the media and on the left in the past for far more minor offenses in the aftermath of national tragedies than Joe Biden has committed here.

So no, even though Joe Biden will get a pass on this in the press, he absolutely shouldn't get a pass on it in the court of public opinion, which ultimately is what matters the most.

I know how you feel. My wife died in a car crash.

I got a call from a first responder. I said how is she. He said she is dead.

This POS will lie when it is easier to tell the truth. Trash

Imagine this broken-down-engine for another term. He should just start sending out the Vice Cackler but she can't perform any better in public. Sorority mom laughing and word salads vs advanced dementia. SMDH.

How embarrassing.

Hundreds of children? I hope they have the sum biitch who didn't authorize the warning sirens to go off on suicide watch. This is getting worse by the day. Then you have a POTUS arrive on the scene who can't even speak clearly or walk in a straight line. What the hell is going on?!

So why haven't republicans been holding press conferences and events at these locations to point out how democrats have ignored them?

Biden says "Jill and I have a little sense of what it's like to lose a home" and then tells the story of when lightning struck his house in 2004 and says "I almost lost my '67 corvette and my cat."


What a goof

That would also be in poor taste.

Only Democrats use tragedies to promote their agenda.

I'm going to make a bold prediction.

IN the 2024 election, HI's 4 electoral college votes will go to the Democrats.

What a goof

Lightening struck a power line or something and started a small kitchen fire. Was out in about 10-15 mins.

He’s equating that to an entire community burning down like Chicago or San Fran fires.
He’s an absolute liar and embarrassment. Where in Iraq was Beau supposedly killed?

But muh inauguration attendance…


Yea, same.

So you think this was a good showing by the POTUS? And how do you feel about this being ANOTHER instance where he tries to insert his own negative experiences (which are in no way comparable) to a horrible tragedy?

"I had a kitchen fire once and it almost burned down my fancy car" Seriously?

Sorry, I actually expect a sitting President to not submit a daily gaffe to the country. It's been embarrassing for a while now.

Biden Leaves Jaws on the Floor With Corvette Joke During Tone-Deaf Maui Speech

Quote:As RedState reported, President Joe Biden finally made it to Maui, having left his second vacation of the month to make a half-day trip to the island. That comes after devastating fires left over a hundred people confirmed dead with nearly a thousand still missing, including what is assumed to be many children.

From the moment Biden touched down, it was apparent that he wasn't taking the situation seriously (if he even knew why he was there), and once he started to speak, things only got worse.

In his first public appearance, the president decided to joke about how hot the ground. He also brought up the death of his first wife and daughter, attempting to draw a parallel to those who lost loved ones in the Maui fire. Eventually, Biden was ushered from the podium by Sen. Brian Schatz.

He wasn't done, though. In a second speech, the president told a story and a joke that left jaws on the floor.

Keep in mind that the president is in Hawaii to speak to people who have lost everything, including the lives of their family members in some cases, and he decided to tell a made-up story about how his house almost burnt down. Not only that, he suggested that his made-up story gives him a "little sense" of what it's like to lose a home. In reality, as has been noted before, Biden's house did not almost burn down. Rather, it suffered a small kitchen fire that was contained within 20 minutes.

But that's not the worst part of it. It would have been one thing had Biden just told another white lie to make himself seem relatable (while actually doing the opposite). In this case, though, he decided to embellish his falsehood with a joke about almost losing his precious Corvette. Yes, amidst a wasteland of suffering and death, the President of the United States thought it was a good time to tell a joke about how much he cares about his car.

I just can't with this guy. If he weren't a Democrat, he'd be facing a month-long news cycle of non-stop criticism. Remember when George W. Bush flew over the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina and the press were still talking about it three years later? Biden said "no comment" and went on vacation during a horrific fire that could end up with a death toll in the many hundreds of people. And when he finally showed up, he put on a comedy routine.

The idea of Biden as the empathizer-in-chief is a joke. It's the biggest lie in politics, and at some point, you can't just blame his obvious senility for how tone-deaf he is. He just doesn't care about other people. It's sociopathic behavior.

Traveling shht show

Of course, a WH spokesman had to try to minimize the mocking of resident drool bucket by acting like somebody we know around here.
