President Joe Biden finally made it to Hawaii to “empathize” with survivors after spending a few days relaxing and soaking up the sun on the beach.
After comparing the horrific wildfires— that destroyed countless homes and lives, Biden thought it would be a good idea to tell his false story about how he suffered a small kitchen fire, saying that he “knows what it’s like to lose a home.”
In response, the president lost the respect of not only most Hawaiian residents but longtime Democrat voters as well.
“This is the most despicable thing this president has ever said. How do you compare almost losing your f****** Corvette to the children burned in their f****** homes, man?” A restaurant owner told the Daily Signal.
Another resident expressed frustration with the president, saying she was shocked at Biden’s comments about the devastating event that ruined livelihoods.
“There are no words in response to something like that. There’s a thousand people still missing on this island, business owners who want people to come back, and who is going to come to a secluded island with people still missing?” Kristen Goodwin said.
Goodwin, who voted for Biden in 2020, refuses to vote for the 80-year-old president again and instead vows her support for former President Trump.
“I’m not voting for him again—that’s for sure. I’ll vote for Trump. I will never vote for him again,” she added.
Meanwhile, Leslie Santos said she was floored when Biden compared the possibility of him losing his replaceable Corvette to the loss of life, adding that she was “offended.”
“How can a leader be so insensitive and lack the level of compassion of a basic human being? What happened to ‘extending kindness and care?’ I am so disappointed in Biden—and I am a Democrat,” she continued.
Biden’s visit to Maui only lasted less than six hours after failing to meet with survivors until days after the tragic incident happened.
The president has a history of being insensitive to family members who suffered significant loss.
Biden told Gold Star families whose sons and husbands died while putting their lives on the line for America during the president’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal that he understood what it was like to lose a loved one during a violent combat—because he had lost his son Beau to cancer.
