The Maui fire is now the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than 100 years. However, vacationing President Joe Biden’s recent reaction to being asked about the American tragedy in Hawaii has been deemed as “heartless” and “disgusting”.
As of Sunday, the death toll had risen to 93 people, plus more than 1,000 are still missing, according to Newsweek. The Lahaina wildfire is the deadliest in the United States since the 1918 Cloquet fire that killed 453 people in drought-stricken northern Minnesota.
Meanwhile, President Joe Biden spent the weekend vacationing at his beach home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
On Sunday evening, Bloomberg White House correspondent Justin Sink wrote on Twitter, “After a couple hours on the Rehoboth beach, POTUS was asked about the rising death toll in Hawaii, ‘No comment,’ he said before heading home.”
The reaction was not good:
Radio host Jason Rantz: “Wow. How embarrassing and heartless.”
Writer Pradheep J. Shanker: “Absolutely embarrassing. The largest wildfire tragedy in modern American history, and the President has nothing significant to say about it?”
Writer Rita Panahi: “The president who promised to restore decency and empathy.”
Commentator Stephen L. Miller: “100 people dead. Entire communities wiped out. President of compassion. Just incredible stuff. Biden is like ‘well at least I’m not on THAT beach.'”
Former Trump advisor Stephen Miller: “Callous.”
Commentator Matt Walsh: “Wow. What a scumbag.”
Liberal journalist Yashar Ali: “Absolutely terrible.”
Commentator Kurt Schlichter: “Pay him and maybe he’ll pretend to care.”
Radio host Dana Loesch: “Vacationer-In-Chief.”
On Friday, Vice President Kamala Harris was asked if she or President Biden would visit Maui in the aftermath of the apocalyptic wildfires.
Harris responded, “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 added, “We are coordinating federal resources to swiftly get there to support the work in terms of recovery, but to just support the folks on the ground. It is tragic.”
Following the last major disaster – the train derailment that released toxic chemicals into East Palestine, Ohio – President Biden said in March he would visit the catastrophe site “at some point.” Biden has yet to travel to East Palestine.

He has bigger fish to fry right now… Like saving his and his family’s hides from all their corruption being exposed.
Biden has no empathy or sympathy for anyone. Our country is going down the tubes and he doesn’t even care. What a joke of a leader and a .Christian,. He should have gone to east Palestine when it first happened as well as Hawaii. We will not be known as the greatest country in the world as long as he is our leader.
