president/
A Maui resident fought back tears on live TV as she attacked President
Biden for failing to respond to the deadliest US wildfire in more than a
century dismissing his paltry offers of help as a slap in the face.
?Its really affecting me because wheres the president? ??an emotional
Ella Sable ?Tacderan asked despairingly on CNN late Thursday.
I mean, arent we Americans, too? Were part of the United States. Why
are we getting put in the back pocket?
Why are we being ignored? she asked, at one point covering her face with
her hand.
Biden has repeatedly refused to even comment on the disaster and does not
plan to visit until Monday, nearly two weeks after the start of the
wildfire that has killed at least 111 people, with more than 1,000 still
unaccounted for.
The delayed visit by the 80-year-old chief executive who appeared to
forget Mauis name will be in a break from a planned weeklong vacation
at Lake Tahoe in Nevada.
Tacderan first became emotional when CNNs Kaitlan Collins asked if she
and her community in decimated Lahaina were getting enough help from the
government.
My parents received a check for $700, which was a slap in the face, she
said of the onetime grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA).
Living in Hawaii, everything is so expensive. Groceries can be as much as
$700 just for one grocery run. And its not enough, Tacderan complained.
She added that elderly families in Hawaii are basically computer
illiterate, which may explain why some people are being turned away on
their applications for FEMA assistance.
Her interview came hours after Biden again refused to comment on the
tragedy. No, not now, Biden said when asked about his planned trip
despite facing a backlash for a similar remark earlier in the week.
Why is it important that you go? a reporter asked Biden under the wing
of Air Force One in Scranton, Pennsylvania, but the president simply
replied, Thank you and walked away.
On Sunday, the commander-in-chief ignited a media firestorm by saying No
comment when asked about the deadliest US fire in over a century as he
left a Delaware beach.
And on Tuesday, he appeared to forget the name Maui and referred to the
island as the one where you see on television all of the time.
I apologize because I try very hard to keep my speeches between 15 and 18
minutes, but I got to talk a little bit about Hawaii, Biden said in an
apparent attempt at humor as the already historic death toll keeps rising.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Wednesday that Biden
will meet with first responders, survivors, as well as federal, state and
local officials, in the wake of deadly wildfires on the island.

Hard to have sympathy or even donate money. That state is bluer the blue.
This is exactly what they voted for. Lets see if they have what it
takes to vote differently.

Hawaii is solid blue. You know this person, her family and her friends
vote the straight D ticket, always have and always will. They got the
government they voted for.
Wheres the president?
How could anyone possibly know the answer when the president doesnt know
where he is?
Or, who he is?
--
We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.
Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem. It has none.
No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.
Officially made Nancy Pelosi a two-time impeachment loser.
Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed
dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.
