The fires that took place in Maui are just horrific.
The absolute devastation and loss of innocent life is completely unfathomable.
Since the fires took place, I have seen so many videos come out that show the terror that these people faced and the grief of losing their homes, livelihoods, and family members.
Of course, when this sort of destruction occurs, citizens look to their leaders for comfort and strength so that they can rebuild.
However, instead of that, Hawaiians have received a rather lackluster response.
One couple in Maui has come forward to talk about their experience and it doesn’t paint the Biden administration in a good light at all.
Mike Cicchino and his wife came forward to discuss Biden’s response to the disaster which they claim has been an abysmal failure.
The couple claims they are not political at all, but feel that Joe Biden has ‘failed’ them, and they are absolutely right.
NewsNation reports:
President Joe Biden is under intense scrutiny for his response to the Maui wildfires. One Hawaii resident says the president has “failed” the island.
As flames erupted in Lahaina, Mike Cicchino and his wife jumped into the ocean and spent more than three hours in crashing waves to escape the fire. Cicchino says he’s still coming to grips with what he calls the most terrifying experience of his life…
Cicchino said local and state officials have refused to answer questions about the ages of victims, specifically children.
“It’s just sad that they’re trying to hide so much from us and especially about the children,” he said, later adding: “When somebody asked our mayor the other day to just give us an estimate of how many children (died), he got confrontational, and we don’t need somebody that’s confrontational with locals that are just trying to get answers.”
He also says the federal response has been “insulting.”
“We’re not very political people. We really don’t go one way or the other, but Biden has really failed us. One of the worst disasters in U.S. history happens and he hasn’t been out here. It’s been two weeks on Tuesday,” Cicchino said. “What kind of president does that?”
Watch the video below:
If this calamity had occurred during Trump’s tenure, these people would be anchoring newscasts on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, and CBS.
They are being neglected by the media, and the reason for this is self-evident.
