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 just needs to have a pre teen girl by her side when she asks for the President to come to Maui, tell him he can sniff her hair if he likes...
He’s coming, plenty of time to hide your children.
People should have insurance and some savings for emergencies. Does everybody get a $700 government check when their home burns down?
An unanswered question is how did the fire start?
THis happened om August 8...
If we had a president, he would have been in Honolulu meeting with the Governor and congress members and mayors and directing aid of all sorts to the survivors by the next day ...
FEMA would have been on the ground with shelter and food ...
He would have sent in the National Guard to secure the area from looters ...
He didnt have to go to the fire area..
he could have flown over that by helicopter to see what happened...
His DOJ would have already arrested the water guy and the siren guy for gross negligence and manslaughter/murder ...
If we had a president ...
The government caused this. Don’t expect the government to fix it.
Simple solution… stop electing woke democrats.
Under the current Bidenomics (aka Retardnomics), your $500 was the equaivalent of today’s $700...
It’s the wrong question to expect the Feds to help.
People need to help their neighbors, and the island should look out for their own.
They never associate their votes with the results of those votes......................
Try promising ice cream and access to little girls - foreign money works too but is harder to justify.
Just keep voting blue, Hawaii.
“No Comment.” That’s where he is, he does not give one single crap about the people of Maui (or the US for that matter), only himself, and its ALWAYS been that way for the last 50 years or so.
Ok. So? Conservatives still need to shut up about it not being enough.
I got insurance under TRUMP dollars but had to buy under Biden dollars.
Pretty sure Hawaii went for joementia. Your choice! Fidiots!

That said...until we hear otherwise, Democrats are entitled to the same protections everyone else is, even if the case can be made that electing Leftists to run your affairs can be hazardous to your health, as New Orleans and now Maui have demonstrated.
Democrats - “You f’d up, you trusted us.”
Besides we need to go full Alinsky on these mofos and hold them to their own standards. They bitched about Katrina when they weren’t in power, so turnabout is fair play.
If they’re democommies (likely) they’ll gladly pony up a couple kids for joementia to uh, interact with. 🤔
Where is the president? Holy Crap! Who cares? These people are better off with Joe proclaiming “No Comment” from his beach home.
