President Joe Biden finally traveled to Maui on Monday, almost two weeks after wildfires killed over 100 people, left 850 people unaccounted for, and cost billions of dollars in property damage. Over the weekend, Sarah covered some responses of Lāhainā residents, including those who didn’t want the president to come, with Jay Awan pointing out Biden is “just coming to Maui to look good in front of the cameras.” Biden’s actual visit was met with some less than welcome responses from Maui residents.

Reporting from on the ground pointed to how residents had been there “for hours” with Hawaiian flags and signs proclaiming “he’s too late,” “he should’ve been here much earlier,” and “actions speak louder than words.”

Of course it’s worth reminding Biden didn’t even have any words to say for days about the wildfires. He’s been on several vacations, including to Rehoboth Beach and Lake Tahoe, where his spokespeople say he’s spending “some valuable, quality family time.” He also notoriously told the press “no comment” on several occasions when asked about the fires, even doing so with smirks and silence that continues to this day.

Despite such a piss poor response, the White House and even Biden himself have been trying to hit people over the head with claims that the administration has done such a fitting job, from the start, and that they’re to be commended. Countless statements, fact-sheets and tweets have gone out, but much of it has been too little too late.
