Joe Biden went to Maui yesterday and one of the first things he did was lie about his ‘house fire’.
Here’s what he said:
Biden says "Jill and I have a little sense of what it's like to lose a home" and then tells the story of when lightning struck his house in 2004 and says "I almost lost my '67 corvette and my cat."
According to a report from the time, the lighting strike caused "a small fire… pic.twitter.com/V8IBfoZuEW

He said he almost lost his wife. But that’s simply not true.
But what’s even worse is that he’s joking about losing his corvette and his cat when people lost everything, including their families. It’s been reported that nearly 1,000 are still missing with the death toll at nearly 500. And this guy brings out the jokes?
This isn’t the first time he told this lie about his small house fire. He told it back in 2021 and Wapo’s Glenn Kessler gave the truth in a tweet:
Biden today: We "had a house burn down with my wife in it. She got out safely."
2004 AP news report: "A small fire that was contained to the kitchen….Jill reported the fire…The fire was under control in 20 minutes.'' https://t.co/2VcAebg9r5— Glenn Kessler (@GlennKesslerWP) November 16, 2021
If that’s not bad enough, Biden appeared to be dozing off this morning while a man was talking about the devastation in Maui:

Last but not least, Biden jokes about how hot the ground is in Maui:

Oh and let’s not forget the media is letting Biden get away with everything:
Worst wildfire in US history and Biden spent two weeks on the beach and then at a billionaire’s house in Lake Tahoe. Can you imagine if Bush had done this after Katrina? Where’s the outrage? https://t.co/XH7mVT7FMV
