Hawaiians are livid at President Joe Biden, who finally showed up to Maui two weeks after wildfires ravaged Lahaina, killing 114 and leaving over 850 missing – only to crack inappropriate jokes and lie about his wife ‘almost’ dying in a fire.

Residents are pissed…
“Hearing you talk about your house that, you know, had a little fire… you almost lost your cat and your Corvette,” said one enraged resident, adding: “There were children that were incinerated to as,” after Gov. Josh Green (D) said on Sunday that “it’s possible that there will be many children” among the missing.
“You’re so out of touch with the common man, you don’t even know how to speak to them,” he continued, adding “the only way you think you can establish commonality with them is to lie – that the ‘same thing happened to you’ ”
“You’re a disgusting, despicable bastard.”
