President Joe Biden is back at it with his strange desire to act as though he understands what other people are going through because of his life experiences.
During a trip to Florida to survey the damage caused by Hurricane Ian on Wednesday, the president attended a press briefing with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).
Biden claimed he understands the anxiety Floridians, whose homes were destroyed or severely damaged by the hurricane, are facing because 18 years ago, lightning struck his house.
“I know from experience how much anxiety, and fear, concern there are in the people,” he began. “We didn’t lose our whole home, but lightning struck and we lost an awful lot of it.”

Biden appeared to be referring to a 2004 incident in which his Delaware home was struck by lightning.
According to The Associated Press at the time, “Lightning struck the home of Sen. Joseph Biden, starting a small fire that was contained to the kitchen.”
“No one was injured in Sunday’s fire, which started amid a storm that caused serious flooding in Pennsylvania and knocked out power to hundreds of Delaware homes and businesses,” the article continued. “Firefighters arrived to find heavy smoke coming from the house, but were able to keep the flames from spreading beyond the kitchen, said Cranston Heights Fire Company Chief George Lamborn.”
