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.
This “victim” is not educated in how the system works. A president just can’t jump past the state’s decision makers and do something without being asked to help and the approved way it is accomplished by those decision makers. It falls under state’s rights so the feds can’t enter the state and do what they want in either a good or a bad way.

“...the $700 Biden sent to affected households was nowhere near what is needed...”
You mean this is true??? I thought the $700 was a Babylon Bee joke!!!!
All the money Biden sends to Ukraine and he only sent $700 to families that were destroyed by this fire???
You friggin’ “professional politicians” in Washington should have already gotten rid of that SOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We don’t need to lie to do that
We are singing to the choir! USELESS!! ABSOLUTELY USELESS.
WE SHOULD be in front of every media affiliate and FBI field office in every city every day handing out real news and boycotting their sponsors until they stop this crap! Stop being cowards!
You’ll be more afraid when they BURN YOU OUT! I PROMISE!
The media is the first line defense and everyone ignores them.
I’m just wasting my time as everyone sits on their lazy asses
Pfft!
FJB needs a two-day vacation in Lake Tahoe before making time for the Maui emergency. I’m waiting for the legacy media to condemn this despicable behavior.
It was 100% intentional, to hasten Joe’s “Climate Emergency”.
FJB is looking for some bargain Maui property.
Joey already helped. They get $700.00 to shut up and move away.
We Realtor "vultures" provide services and EARN our fees. Do the r@tb@$t@rd politicians earn theirs?
Don’t blame me. I voted for the other guy.
Biden doesn’t gaf about Americans.
Have you got his 10%??????
Where is President Retard?
Why does he always have his head up his butt?
Bahahahahahaha
Hawaii is a solid Dem-Hole.
The Big Guy doesn’t have to pay any attention to them, as it’s taken for granted.
Just like lots of voters still on the Plantation.
No matter what he does or doesn’t do, not matter what he says or doesn’t say, 4 Electoral votes will go Blue.
Were you the one who offered $700 for a plot of Oahu land?
Republicans need to make Maui the only thing they talk about for the next several weeks if they know what’s good for them.
It’s easy to understand unlike the Hunter Biden stuff. People need help and aren’t getting it.
It should be Biden’s Katrina, but also the Republicans aren’t talking about this very much. They need to pull their heads out.
They won’t.
They are afraid the media will condemn them for ‘politicizing a tragedy’....................
Where is the president?, he is doing rails of blow while diddling a little girl.
He’s hitting the “Maui Wowie”.
What do people think presidents do? I’ve been asking that for decades as it seems every bad thing spawns these people wanting the president to do... something I don’t even know what. The president isn’t in charge of FEMA, he shouldn’t be making “feelings phone calls” and given how much security and stuff follows him he shouldn’t be visiting disaster zones. Best thing ANY president can do in these things is stay away.
Democrats don’t care. Maui is democrat country. They will still vote for democrats.
