President Joe Biden arrived in Maui yesterday to survey the wildfire damage and offer condolences to survivors. Upon landing, however, he cracked a joke about the temperature.
At a ceremony to honor the victims, a video clip appeared to show President Biden dozing off. Additionally, the president told survivors about almost losing his Corvette in a house fire, a claim firefighters have deemed exaggerated.

Biden arrived in Hawaii that day to give remarks on the aftermath of that devastating wildfires that have taken the lives of over 110 people. Prior to his speech, he met and shook hands with a group of officials, stopping in front of a search and rescue dog. While petting the dog, he joked the boots the canine was wearing.
“You guys catch the boots out here?” Biden appeared to ask the press watching him. He smiled and said, “That's some hot ground, man.”
The reference to how “hot” the ground was following the deadly wildfires seemed inappropriate to many social media users who saw the clip.
After the video went viral, White House deputy press secretary and senior communications adviser Andrew Bates pushed back against the criticism, calling it “classless and stupid.”
The death toll on the island now stands at 115. Officials in Maui County have announced the search operations in single-story buildings in Lāhainā have concluded. Recovery workers with cadaver dogs have moved on to searching multi-story structures.

2 offend all Voters nationwide right Joe
That man is freaking clueless. I was musing about what he probably said and yep, he somehow managed to bring up Beau.
This mentally demented, socially diseased reprobate (morally corrupt) definition for the illiterate Democrats who live among polite society, or what’s left of it thanks to their Messiah Biden and his Band of Marxist Terrorists (Democratic Party). Just goes to show you that ill-gotten money and power do not equal CLASS, which I might add he has never had.
If biden is complaining about the hot ground
in Maui just wait till he gets to hell.
surprise he did not throw in how he lost his son in Afghanistan and riding millions of miles on AMTRACK.
