Biden Ignores Hawaii Senator’s Question, Looks Completely out of It As He Shuffles off Stage

Well, at least now we know why President 👤Joe Biden took weeks to visit the site of the deadliest wildfire in America in over a century.

On Monday, the president finally visited the Hawaiian island of Maui, where 114 people have been confirmed dead and over 1,000 are still missing from the Aug. 8 fires.

The president’s refusal to cut short his summer vacation to visit — or even to acknowledge the depth of the ongoing human tragedy, aside from a pro forma statement and some remarks to the media — had been a source of embarrassment to the White House, which has tried to portray the octogenarian commander in chief as being a man on top of things as he runs for a second term.

However, if his inattention to Maui had been a source of embarrassment, that had nothing on what happened when he finally got around to devoting his full attention to the catastrophe-stricken island.

Biden gave two sets of remarks in Lahaina, both of them brief. There was little in the prepared remarks that couldn’t have been written by ChatGPT, with the president telling residents that “the country grieves with you, stands with you, and we’ll do everything possible to help you recover, rebuild and respect culture and traditions when the rebuilding takes place.”

“My administration has been in constant contact with the governor and congressional delegation and local leaders. As soon as I got the governor — governor’s request, I signed the master — the major disaster declaration that mobilized the whole-of-government response, which means whatever you need, you’re going to get,” he said.
