(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) President Joe Biden kept apace his shameless public response to fire-ravaged Maui, when he dodged comment about the tragedy’s rising death toll.
Fresh off a grueling vacation at Rehoboth Beach where he initially snubbed comment on the raging wildfires, Biden on Tuesday was stiff-legging it to catch a flight for a quick campaign stop when he could only manage a smirk and a wave when asked about Maui’s rising fire fatalities, which had reached 106 deaths.
Instead of visiting survivors on Maui, Biden jetted off to a stump speech in Wisconsin to gaslight on his economic agenda, displaying a double-shot of callousness.

Rep. Wesley Hunt, R-Texas, noted that Biden’s conspicuous absence from Maui followed a disturbing pattern for the vacationer-in-chief.
Maui burned and Biden vacationed.
East Palestine crumbled and Biden vacationed.
Kabul fell and Biden vacationed.
The border collapsed and Biden vacationed.

“Maui burned and Biden vacationed. East Palestine crumbled and Biden vacationed,” Hunt reminded. “Kabul fell and Biden vacationed. The border collapsed and Biden vacationed.”
Biden told a different tale during his speechifying in Wisconsin, where he claimed “I’ve been to many disaster areas,” and promptly proved himself wrong on at least one account.

Before turning his flight path Friday toward a planned one-week Lake Tahoe vacation, Biden on Tuesday vowed that he and Taco Doc Jill would visit Hawaii “as soon as we can” and claimed he’s avoided the island because he didn’t want his presidential presence to interrupt recovery and cleanup efforts.

During the same presser, Biden again assured that “every asset they need will be there for them” regarding wildfire survivors and victims, which on Monday he had sloughed off with a paltry $700 payment per household as he shuttled another $200 million to Ukraine.
Hawaii went two to one for Joe Biden.
All their native land is being stolen from them by Democrats.
My heart weeps for Maui, but this is what they voted for.
Their land will be taken from them now. Mark Zuckerberg is salivating. pic.twitter.com/0MmNDXPEZO
