President Biden refused to comment Thursday on the wildfire tragedy in Maui as the death toll on the Hawaiian island climbed to 111 — saying, “No, not now” when asked about his planned trip despite facing harsh criticism earlier this week for a similar remark.

“Can you tell us about your Hawaii trip, sir?” a reporter asked Biden under the wing of Air Force One in Scranton, Pa., after the president paid his respects to Ellen Casey, the mother of Sen. Bob Casey Jr. (D-Pa.) and widow of former Keystone State Gov. Bob Casey Sr.

“No, not now,” the 80-year-old president replied. “I’m going to be leaving and I’ll be there on Monday.”

“Why is it important that you go?” a reporter followed up.

Biden didn’t answer the second inquiry, instead saying “Thank you” as he turned away to end the exchange.

PDJT never, NEVER backed down from a pushy reporter. Never...
Gotta wonder what a democrat voter tells themself when they read the same news. Whatever it is...it cant be logical or objective.

“Biden on Tuesday broke his silence about the staggering death toll at an economy-focused speech in Milwaukee, but at one point appeared to forget the name “Maui” and referred to the island as “the one where you see on television all of the time.”

Methinks FJB’s brain is stuck on “they com’n afta muh boy Hunter and I’m fkd”. He dont wanna talk t’nobody. Mean old free press and all bet he wishes he could just have em all shot like Stalin, Hitler, or Mussolini would have.

He's going to declare a climate emergency and only read the prompter. He cannot comprehend what he's reading so they told him he'd get in trouble and get no ice cream if he lets the cat out of the bag.

We get to relive President Carter's malaise lecture. If Biden is sane, maybe he plagiarized Carter's speech.

His executive emergency order will send funds to minorities most harmed by climate change. Might ration beef. Another Carter tactic, you could only buy gas on even or odd days. Based on the last digit of your license plate.

He will not take questions.

That question would have required a modicum of thought. Biden has dementia.

well, America, Biden just gave Maui the biggest BROOKLYN RASPBERRY yet.

[blueunicorn6]

He cares so much about people.

Hahahahahahahahaha!

Offer him some bribe money and he’ll be right there.

The American press must be so proud of themselves for helping this nitwit.

The way Biden speaks his mind is always on a trip some place the 60’s had to be good for that boy.
