'Children Were Incinerated To Ash': Livid Hawaiians Slam Biden For Cracking Jokes, Lying About Wife
Hawaiians are livid at President Joe Biden, who finally showed up to Maui two weeks after wildfires ravaged Lahaina, killing 114 and leaving over 850 missing - only to crack inappropriate jokes and lie about his wife 'almost' dying in a fire.
"You guys catch the boots out here? That’s a hot ground, man," Biden joked.

At another point, Biden told the Mayor of Maui County: "You look like you played defensive tackle for, I don't know who, but somebody good," before calling the wildfires a "national travedy."

Then Biden lied about almost losing his wife in a 2004 kitchen fire. In truth, the fire was "under control in 20 minutes" and firefighters "got it pretty early."

I also just picked up on the fact that he said he was in DC doing a tv show when the fire happened and then said he somehow made it all the way back to Wilmington, Delaware in time to watch the firefighters put it out when, according to the report, it under control in 20 minutes https://t.co/KGkUBAjfE6

Watch Biden's entire speech below:
Residents are pissed...
"Hearing you talk about your house that, you know, had a little fire... you almost lost your cat and your Corvette," said one enraged resident, adding: "There were children that were incinerated to as," after Gov. Josh Green (D) said on Sunday that "it's possible that there will be many children" among the missing.
"You're so out of touch with the common man, you don't even know how to speak to them," he continued, adding "the only way you think you can establish commonality with them is to lie - that the 'same thing happened to you' "
"You're a disgusting, despicable bastard."

I did not realize until today that the potential death toll was this high
— PoIiMath (@politicalmath) August 21, 2023
If the death toll is even close to this, that would make this one of the 3 deadliest natural disasters in the US in the 21st century
How is this not the only thing we are talking about? https://t.co/UoVgOerwdk
"Fuck You" shouted more residents as Biden's motorcade rolled down the street. We imagine many Hawaiians regret voting for the pariah prez.

🚨 JOE BIDEN IS ON MAUI

While Biden flies around in circles above Maui, residents are TRAPPED on closed roads for the next several hours.
Biden will then be meeting with pre-selected “residents” and will NOT be taking media questions.
Go figure.
Police are telling me that… pic.twitter.com/JiR1iZganY
That's definitely what it looks like.

Why the relatively muted media response to one of the deadliest natural disasters in US history? Theories abound.

Still amazed that Hawaii officials themselves admitted that they withheld water and audible warnings in the name of equity but the media is loudly and joyously blaming climate change for the deaths.

We have no hope when nobody is ever held accountable and we blame make-believe…

And of course, Joe appeared to fall asleep during the middle of a meeting with the families of fire victims.
