Joe Biden’s seemingly reluctant flying visit to Maui on Monday, before he takes yet another vacation for the rest of the week, went about as well as expected. It was an unmitigated disaster.
First of all, he had no idea where he was again:
The wildfire that struck on August 8th, almost a fortnight before Biden bothered to appear, killed over 100 people and destroyed over 2000 homes, with close to 1000 people still unaccounted for.
Yet during his speech, Biden attempted to make it all about him.
“I don’t want to compare difficulties,” he said, adding “but we have a little sense, Jill and I, of what it’s like to lose a home.”
“A sunny Sunday, and lightning struck at home on a little lake that’s outside of our home, not a lake a big pond. And hit a wire that came up underneath our home that hit the heating duct, an air conditioning duct,” Biden continued.
He then made a joke.
Yeah, really. He made a fucking joke.
“To make a long story short, I almost lost my wife, my ’67 Corvette, and my cat,” Biden said.
He continued, “All kidding aside, I watched the firefighters, the way they responded… they ran into the flames, saved my wife, saved my family. No joke.”
Biden was referring to a small kitchen fire in 2004 that was gotten under control in minutes.
Believe it or not, the jokes didn’t end there.
Before he arrived, a White House spokesperson said that one of Biden’s priorities would be to make sure residents were aware that he had “been there since day one.”
Residents are acutely aware that Biden hasn’t been anywhere near them since day one:
He was on holiday on day 1:
