Maui residents slammed President Joe Biden during media interviews this week over his apparent lack of concern for the island following the devastating fires last week that have so far claimed at least 111 lives.
One resident of Lahaina, a historic town that turned to ash from one fire, spoke to Australian independent media outlet Rebel News and wondered why the Biden administration is so eager to send billions of dollars to Ukraine, but has been mostly silent on the tragedy in Maui.
“Why aren’t you taking care of what you claim to be in charge of rather than sending out all these funds and whatever else you guys are sending to Ukraine or anywhere?” the woman asked of Biden. “Take care of here first. I don’t see why any president wouldn’t step up and take care of what’s part of their territory. I think it’s a stupid move on his part. Biden? Yeah, he’s an idiot.”
