When Maui was burning and 100+ people died, Joe Biden was sitting on a beach in Delaware with “no comment.” After that vacation, he scheduled another vacation in Reno, still with no comment on the disaster. After his handlers realized the bad optics, they sent him to Maui on Monday and he showed everyone what a major asshole he is.
As The NY Post reports, Joe’s presence wasn’t welcomed:
President Biden was greeted with middle fingers, chants of protest, and signs that said “No Comment” Monday as he arrived in Maui to tour wildfire damage after repeatedly declining to comment last week on the tragedy that killed at least 114 people.
A group of several dozen residents of scorched western Maui heckled Biden’s motorcade shortly after noon local time as it left tiny Kapalua Airport en route to the hardest-hit areas of historic Lahaina, which was destroyed on Aug. 8.
Go home, Joe!” the locals chanted as Biden passed by — moments before the president read a scripted speech touting the federal response, despite criticism from residents who say not enough help has been offered.
Then, Joe tried his hand at stand-up:
JUST IN: President Biden jokes about how hot the ground is in Maui after a fire ripped through, killing hundreds.
“You guys catch the boots out here? That’s a hot ground, man,” he joked.

Is there anything more hilarious than joking about hot ground at a place that was devastated by fire?
Speaking of fire Biden told that bullshit story about how his house also burned down with his family in it:
Biden says “Jill and I have a little sense of what it’s like to lose a home” and then tells the story of when lightning struck his house in 2004 and says “I almost lost my ’67 corvette and my cat.”
According to a report from the time, the lighting strike caused “a small fire… pic.twitter.com/V8IBfoZuEW

“I don’t want to compare difficulties, but we have a little sense — Jill and I — what it’s like to lose a home. Years ago now — 15 years ago — I was in Washington doing ‘Meet the Press.’ It was a sunny Sunday and lightning struck at home on a little lake that is outside of our home — not on a lake, a big pond, and it hit a wire and came up underneath our home into the heating ducts, air conditioning ducts. And to make a long story short, I almost lost my wife, my ’67 Corvette and my cat,” said Biden.
The fire in his home was small and isolated in the kitchen. The local FD described it as “insignificant” and yet Joe thinks it’s the same thing as the people who lost everything, including loved ones.
Speaking of which, Joe rolled out his dead family to make it seem like he’s the real victim here:

Not only was it completely inappropriate to throw this anecdote in, Joe lied about it. He made it seem like the truck driver who was involved in the fatal accident that took his first wife and daughter was at fault. In reality, his wife caused the accident.
Adding insult to injury, Joe dozed off during the memorial service to honor the victims:
Remember that time Joe Biden looked at his watch when the caskets of 13 dead soldiers were being returned from his chaotic Afghanistan pullout?

Let’s see, Joe made an inappropriate joke, lied about his life to show fake empathy, and tried to make the tragedy all about him. That’s about right, but where’s the creepiness? Oh wait, here it is:
Here’s a little known fact: Aloha means hello, goodbye, and “Help, there’s a creepy old Haole sniffing me!”
The only thing shocking here is that Biden didn’t claim his son Beau died in the Maui fire or that he grew up in the Hawaiian community.
