Sometimes silence cuts deeper than the sharpest words.
After four whole days, President Joe Biden finally made commented upon the devastating tragedy in Maui.
Even NBC News called his long silence “the sort of split-screen moment that no White House relishes.”
“My wife Jill and I are going to travel to Hawaii as soon as we can. That’s what I’ve been talking to the governor about,” he said. “I don’t want to get in the way — I’ve been to too many disaster areas, but I want to go and make sure we got everything they need. I want to be sure we don’t disrupt the ongoing recovery efforts,” Biden said.
These were the first comments on the disaster since his comments last Thursday.
Is there such a thing as “too many disaster areas?”
Isn’t that the job?
Or maybe it’s only Ukraine that doesn’t “get in the way.”
Earlier on Tuesday, reporters shouted out questions to Biden about the death toll in Maui. Biden grinned and waved as if they were wishing him a good day.
