Approximately 13 days after the Maui wildfires, President Joe Biden visited the island of Hawaii on Monday and was met with some angry residents.
Angry Hawaiians met Biden with boos as one resident sarcastically commented, “Wow, he’s finally here – wow, yeah, awesome – yeah, thanks for nothing. Thanks for nothing!” To which he and those around him began chanting, “F**k You!” consistently.

Pool reporters who traveled in Biden’s motorcade stated they were met with some hostility from residents who held up signs reading “F**k Biden” and “Trump Won.”

Upon landing at the epicenter of the destruction, Biden appeared to have been distracted by the security’s dog, then making a joke on the dog wearing boots, saying “that’s some hot ground, man.”

When attempting to share words of comfort, Biden then compared the suffering of Maui victims who lost their homes and family members to the time he had a small kitchen fire where he says: “I almost lost my wife, my ’67 corvette and my cat.”
Entire families are dead — children assumed burned to death — and Joe Biden chuckles about:
Almost losing his Corvette in a fire.
One of the most horrifying moments in politics I’ve ever seen. Grotesque.pic.twitter.com/7qzkTyI1Gz

More than 1,000 Maui residents are still missing as the death toll reaches 114 – the deadliest natural disaster in modern U.S. history.
Biden then attempted to reassure residents that the federal government will “support their recovery,” pointing out the historic Lahaina banyan tree standing nearby bit its branches scorched.
“Today it’s burnt, but it’s still standing,” Biden said. “Trees survive for a reason. I believe it’s a powerful, very powerful symbol, what we can and will do to get through this crisis. For as long as it takes, we’re going to be with you, the whole country (will) be with you.”
President Biden was then seen appearing to have fallen asleep during a ceremony in Hawaii honoring the fire victims.
