Protesters Wait Outside West Maui Airport to Send Biden Brutal Message When He Arrives

President Joe Biden was greeted by angry protesters Monday when he finally visited Maui to tour the catastrophic damage caused by the devastating Hawaiian wildfires that killed at least 114 people, with 1,000 people missing.

Several dozen residents heckled the octogenarian’s motorcade when he departed the Kapalua Airport en route to Lahaina, which went up in flames on Aug. 8.

“As he drove toward downtown Lahaina, Biden passed signs that said ‘NO COMMENT,’ ‘REALLY $7?,’ ‘ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS,’ and ‘FJB,’ as well as at least two flags promoting the 2024 candidacy of former President Donald Trump,” the New York Post reported.

Other protesters unleashed their pent-up anger over Biden’s delayed response by chanting, “Go home, Joe!”

According to Hawaii News Now, Maui residents lined the streets with signs that read, “He’s too late” and “He should’ve been here much earlier.”

Local resident Dennis Mullen was furious, telling the Post there have been few supply deliveries to the airport hosting the presidential helicopter.

“Where has the president been?” he said. “Any number of military aircraft, planes and helicopters could have flown in here. To leave a town that was just devastated shut down was just ridiculous.”

Mullen added: “On the west side of Maui, where neighborhoods had burned down, there was desperate need and no one came to help.”

The hostility Biden is facing from Maui residents is unusual since Hawaii has been a blue state for the past 60 years.

However, the resentment is understandable, given the president’s delayed, apathetic reaction to the deadly wildfires.

Biden blithely remained on vacation in Delaware as flames engulfed Maui.

Biden’s handlers sent him there to check the box.

He doesn’t know where Maui is or where he is.

To quote myself from earlier:

Biden: “The only one I really care about is the one I see every morning. When I first look in the mirror.”

It’s not like he’s going to remember getting booed 5 minutes after it happens.

The mobs didn’t like Caesar too much either for the same reasons.

Human behavior is as sinister today as it was then. Nothing changes.

Mr Magoo is too blindly disassociated to give a DemoRat’s ash plus he conflates everything back to some self incident real or imagined. Hawaiian’s got what they voted for albeit with tragic results we weep for them. Isn’t DemoRat leftism just wonderful.

Little buyers remorse over there?

Sad thing is they will vote for the democrat again and again and again and not even put 2 and 2 together.

Remember when President Bush was blamed for then democrat-controlled Louisiana’s disastrous response to Hurricane Katrina? Good times, good times ...

Any president showing up after such a catastrophe is nothing but symbolism over substance.......

Survivors have more important things to do instead of waiting by the road side while the president drives by......

When Biden made his "no comment" response to a reporter's question about the Maui wildfires it was clear that Biden had no idea what the reporter was talking about.

When Biden is on vacation (or when he is not), his handlers try to keep him insulated from any news so that it doesn't worsen his dementia.

"Remember when President Bush was blamed for then democrat-controlled Louisiana’s disastrous response to Hurricane Katrina?"

Which is exactly why they'll blame Trump for this disaster.
