Just go, Joe!
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have had very tepid responses to one of the most disastrous wildfires in United States history —Maui has been burnt to the ground.
Biden has said he’s “looking into” going but, meanwhile, is off to Nevada for six days. Kamala Harris —not much better; “We don’t want to distract from the resources that need to go in to the victims of this tragedy, and of course, the needs of the first responders have to be able to focus on that issue and not worry about focusing on us [because] we’re there,” Harris said Friday.
What a mess. It’s East Palestine, Ohio all over again.
From The Daily Caller:
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre faced questions from NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell on whether Biden was “given any advice that he should not speak about Hawaii at this point,” as the president has only made remarks at the top of a pre-planned speech on Thursday. The president issued a disaster declaration for the island Thursday, saying the federal government is “working as quickly as possible.”
Biden has faced criticism for his lack of action, with one Hawaiian legislator blasting the president despite having campaigned for him.
“I campaigned for you,” former Hawaii legislator Kaniela Ing said Monday, before deleting the post. “Now, when I lose dozens of my friends, family, and neighbors. This?”
U.S. Treasury Department assistant secretary for public affairs under Trump said, “Biden doesn’t give AF about the suffering people of Maui. Or the suffering people of East Palestine, Ohio. Or the suffering people in border towns. Or the suffering people anywhere in America.”
“You could expect to hear from the President on this issue,” Jean-Pierre said Monday, adding that she didn’t have anything to announce “at this time.”
