Distraught Maui Fire Victim Pleads with Biden for Support: “Where Is the President?” – WATCH
Daily Fetched ^ | August 18, 2023 | Jason Walsh

A distraught and tearful Maui fire resident pleaded with Joe Biden to help, saying there was hardly any government support for the victims.

“Where is the president?” she said, calling Biden out for not coming to Hawaii until the following Monday.

“Aren’t we Americans, too? Like we’re part of the United States, but why are we being put in the back pocket? Why are we being ignored?” she asked.

Ella Sable Tacderan told Kaitlan Collins that the $700 Biden sent to affected households was nowhere near what is needed in living expenses due to “expensive” grocery prices.

Tacderan said, “The Maui community has been helping the Maui community.”

Biden has repeatedly ignored reporters’ questions about the deadly Maui fire.

However, Biden issued a video Thursday morning that ABC’s Good Morning America dutifully broadcast and showed on ABC’s jumbotron in Times Square:

Later on Thursday, Biden again refused a contemporaneous comment to reporters:

The White House posted photos of Maui relief workers on Thursday:

Locals are now organizing themselves in the absence of government help:

As CBS reported, a Maui pro surfer @Kai_Lenny talks about the volunteer army that has stepped up to provide supplies for the community of Lahaina.

“I haven’t seen one state, county, or federal official at any of the donation hubs where people are most suffering,” he said.

She’d get more help if she sneaked over the southern border.

The population of the town is 13,000. They are getting plenty of help.

Keep voting Democrat. Meanwhile the realtor vultures are circling. IF they bribe a few officials, you’ll be evicted and eminent domained off your ancestral land.

I’m sure this woman is a Democrat — because I don’t know any normal person who would expect government officials (let alone the stupid president) come to his or her aid in a time of crisis like this.

You are your own first responder.

If we actually had a MEDIA in this country instead of lapdogs for the Democrat party, this would be called Biden’s katrina, but since they have to protect the loser, they wont mention a thing..the real reason why Biden doesnt talk about Maui is because he knows the cause of the fire and it was NO accident, you add that plus the sheer incompetence that lead to the deaths of hundreds of kids(From what I hear from Hawaiian whistleblowers online, there are kids who were sent home from school that day because of the wind, to fend for themselves) so biden wants clean hands

Yes, they are. People need to stop bitching about the $700.

We only got $500 after my community burned.

“Where is our President?”

Serious misconception. You may have voted for him. But, he’s not “your” President. He’s the President of a very small club. And you are not and never will be a member.

Captain taterhead is too busy writing blank checks to Ukraine to be bothered with the little people of Maui......after all, he only got 64% of the vote in 2020.....maybe if they do better next November. 😏

Once the Government and Zuck get a large % eminent domain will take the rest. This is the national model for every suburb.

It is impossible not to sorrow for the dead, the victims and the losses. However voters in Democrat communities are to blame based on their blind acquiescence, installing demonrats & woke incompetent ideologues in their government for decades.
Will this latest result of incompetence & unconcern red pill any of these people or will they continue to worship at the altars of Obama & Biden?
