January 1, Biden’s “Heartless” Response to Maui Fires Draws Ire from Hawaii Democrat: “I Campaigned for You”
In the wake of the tragic Maui wildfires, a prominent Hawaii Democrat has openly expressed his discontent with President Joe Biden’s seemingly indifferent response.
Former Hawaii state Rep. Mark Kaniela Ing (D) did not mince words when he took to X (previously known as Twitter) to call out the President, stating, “I campaigned for you. Now, when I lose dozens of my friends, family, and neighbors. This?”
It is noteworthy that Ing later removed his post from social media and subsequently elaborated on his concerns during an interview with Fox News.
The genesis of this discontent was an incident where President Biden, after spending several hours at Rehoboth beach, offered a terse “No comment” to reporters probing him about the Maui wildfires.
This minimalistic response led to allegations of the President’s reaction being “heartless,” especially considering the profound loss of life and destruction.
In his conversation with Fox News, Kaniela Ing shed light on the emotional toll of such calamities, saying, “When tragedies like this occur, it’s shocking to see people just conducting business as usual.”
He further added, “On the one hand, you don’t want everyone to be in a perpetual somber mood, but on the other hand, how can you just carry on like that? I think everyone deserves some time to take care of themselves, wind down. But, as someone in a leadership role, you need to be ready any moment to offer some empathy and solace and comfort to people that are facing a lot of trauma right now.”
Ing went on to highlight that what was truly “disappointing” was not just Biden’s succinct comment but his overarching response to the catastrophe.
Ing emphasized that what the Hawaiians currently require from their leader is not mere words but definitive action.
“He should be talking about what he’s done and what he will do,” he remarked, voicing his expectation for tangible measures. “What I’m looking for is action.”
The White House, attempting to reassure the distraught populace, has pledged support and resources to aid Hawaii’s recovery.
Notably, they have announced a financial assistance package which comprises a $700-per-household payment for those affected by the fires.
This announcement coincidentally came on the same day the State Department revealed its intention to send an additional $200 million of taxpayer money to Ukraine.
Bottom Line
The burning question now remains: Will President Biden visit the devastated region of Maui?
While he is scheduled to head to Lake Tahoe for an upcoming week-long stay, his and Vice President Kamala Harris’ visit to Hawaii seems uncertain.
The Vice President stated that both she and the President would abstain from visiting Hawaii to avoid becoming a “distraction” during the crucial recovery phase.

Nothing but Karma to his constituents. Leftists are too stuuuupid to understand that they mean absolutely NOTHING to their “leaders” other than a vote, and those aren’t important when they can simply stuff the ballot boxes with impunity. I have zero, nadan, no compassion or sympathy for any leftist – you reap what you sow!

$700 per household, while he sends another $200 million to his pocket buddies in Ukraine? This is an insult to the people in Hawaii. But then, they are American citizens and therefore come last with the Biden administration.

When are “WE” as Americans going to start taking care of our own FIRST?
All this money being sent to other countries, haven’t we spent enough? Let other countries help, why ALWAYS United States?
It’s terrible that this administration has completely torn America apart.
They call all the fires and looting “Protesting” when it’s really “Rioting” and those who are the losers have no protection.
It’s damn right disgusting. We need “TERM LIMITS “, take away all perks durning and after they leave office.
My last thing since everything is “offensive”, leave out “Race and Sex” from EVERY and ALL applications.
One more thing, why is it any poll you’re asked to take, ask for money for your t to register?

You idiots that keep spouting term limits are delusional and brain dead! Term limits would do nothing more than rotate more leftist scum into the system, and remove some good people who should be kept in their position. And secondly, who do you think is going to pass a “term limits” law? What needs to happen is to do as the Constitution was drafted – reestablish a constitutional republic by removing any one in office whose stance violates the Constitution. This can only be done by the “people” rising up, arming up, and physically descending on every government entity and taking all of them into custody and confiscating ALL of their ill-gotten gains! Our Constitution requires a conservative ideology, not leftist, socialist, communist, islamist, fascist, or authoritarian, and no other can be or has a right to be in a position of authority in this nation. Then we revise the laws that regulate our leadership by getting rid of the British Maritime Legal system, getting rid of all of the excessive taxation, returning the people back to being sovereign. The biggest goal would to be to establish a system that establishes truth and facts and removes lies and deceit.

This is the real Joe Biden. He has demonstrated through his policies that he doesn’t care at all for the American citizens. He lies repeatedly straight to our faces. Throws the southern border wide open and spends billions of dollars in freebies for illegals pouring into our country and expects us to prioritize giving them jobs, healthcare, free food and housing, free education. Halts American energy production forcing us to pay higher fuel prices to enrich foreign entities, some of which has given millions to the Bidens.

You get what you vote for and Biden has little to no respect for anyone and as for empathy, well he didn’t hesitate to lie about how his first wife died nor his son in order to use them for political advantages so what kind of man dances on his families graves for his own gains? One who doesn’t have any serious emotional attachments to anything but power and money.

It was planned. A conspiracy theory? Everything is gone. Start from scratch for many. $700 is a couple of weeks worth of groceries. Ukraine is NOT the USA and the money should be withdrawn and used for Americans.
Now, a “Smart City to be built? Sounds kind of FISHY to me…

Elections have consequences and so does who you vote for. All I know is we were all better off under Trump so I will be happier with my crook in office over your crook so I will vote Biden out as soon as I can. Personally I think Biden needs to be impeached along with Kamala and imprisoned for treason.

He does not give a damn about the American people. $700 per household is a slap in the face. That will not replace lost garment let alone money to rebuilt, yet he gives another $200 million to Ukraine. He is the biggest crook in the country.

Biden’s response shouldn’t be surprising at all. Who could expect more from him? NOT ME! He probably didn’t even know what had happened and was caught off guard. OR, he was told and couldn’t even remember anyway. Either way, he’s a cheat, a liar, and a thief. So so sad for the Hawaiian people, who by the way, are Americans also. Finally, it’s another crime to give each family $700. I’m outraged and astounded and embarrassed by this man. I’m all for helping countries in need,(Ukraine) but Americans should come first when they are in desperate need. Where is the leader of this country when we have a crisis besides sitting on the beach? There are no words to describe such a pathetic man and his incompetent administration.

Logical, expectant behavior. No military weapons to be sold; no need to create trouble to bolster the purchase of weaponry.

Sadly he will do nothing! Too busy vacationing, biking, traveling to Camp David and flying around on Air Force One while gas prices are going up!! In all my years, he is the worst President we have ever had. HE SHOULD BE IN HAWAII, with money, food, supplies and helping hands. God help those poor people,!!!
