You Need to Just Stop
On Monday, August 21st, President Joe Biden visited Maui, Hawaii to tour areas devastated by the August 8th wildfires to comfort first responders and to pay respect to those who have died.
At least 114 people have died and over 388 are missing, making it the deadliest wildfire in modern U.S. history.
Maui County has filed lawsuit against Hawaiian Electric Industries, which supplies electricity to 95% of the State of Hawaii, alleging negligence amid poor weather conditions. That company’s market value has fallen 75% since the wildfire disaster, from $4 billion to $1 billion.
Representative Andy Ogles (R – TN) has accused Biden of falling asleep during the Maui wildfire press conference convened by the President and has called for Biden’s resignation.
Furious Hawaiians greeted President Joe Biden with signs telling him to go home and demanding more federal disaster relief, thirteen days after the devastating wildfires ravaged the area.
Biden is facing criticism for comments he made during his visit to Hawaii. He told a crowd of survivors that he “has a little sense” of what it’s like “to lose a home” after a small fire broke out in his kitchen in 2004.
President Joe Biden struggled to pronounce the names of local politicians and suggested he empathized with islanders because he almost lost his ’67 Corvette in a minor house fire.
Biden returned (from Hawaii) to his vacation at billionaire climate activist Tom Steyer’s $18 million lakefront mansion on Lake Tahoe.
