After President Joe Biden traveled to Maui and all-too-typically cited his own personal history in order to comfort the grieving residents of the island, where at least 115 people have been declared dead from the fire that engulfed the town of Lahaina, he was blasted on social media for his colossal insensitivity.

Biden compared the fire to a
small kitchen fire in his home nearly two decades ago, saying, “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’s outside of our home — not a lake, a big pond — and hit a wire and came
up underneath our home into the heating ducts — the air conditioning ducts. To
make a long story short, I almost lost my wife, my ‘67 Corvette, and my cat.” A
report from the Associated Press at the time said the fire was “a small fire
that was contained to the kitchen.”
“Hearing you talk about your house that had a little fire, you ‘almost lost your house and your Corvette,’ there were children that were incinerated to ash, you f***king old man, you vile human being,” one man said in a viral video.
“You’re so out of touch with
the common man, you don’t even know how to speak to them,” he continued. “The
only way you think you can establish commonality with them is to lie, ‘The same
thing happened to you no matter what the tragedy is.’ He referenced Biden
attempting to commiserate with Gold Star Moms who lost their son in action by
citing his son Beau’s death from brain cancer: “Your son wasn’t killed in
action, by the way,” adding furiously, “Your house didn’t burn down. Your
children weren’t burned to death.”
“How dare you get up there and
speak this way?” he snapped. “Your job is to go there and assuage them in a way
that you talk to them about their loss, that you can’t imagine what it’s like,
that you can’t imagine what it’s like never to find the bodies of the poor
children who were sent home from schools. They died alone! Alone. In fear.
Without their parents or guardian. The most abhorrent thing happened. You’re a
disgusting, despicable bastard.”
“You ‘almost lost your cat?’
Go f*** yourself,” he concluded.
