Biden's brief Maui visit marked by resident's anger over perecieved inadequate government response

Following the tragic wildfires that killed over 100 people, President Joe Biden visited Maui on Monday, where he was greeted by a flurry of hostile yells from survivors, upset by the government's response. 

"Here he comes after 13 days," one man can be heard stating in video footage of Biden’s motorcade making its way down an empty road. "Thanks for nothing," another man said, before multiple people began chanting, "F*@k you" and flipping off the commander-in-chief.

Biden reportedly spent about six hours visiting the island.

During his trip, Biden attended a ceremony commemorating the lives lost and damage inflicted on residents, and some outlets suggested he fell asleep during the event. A close look at the video footage appears to indicate the President remained awake but looked to have zoned out – with his head drooping and mouth open – as a man was speaking.

He was also slammed online for "joking" about how hot the ground was. The video, shared on X, has been viewed over 5 million times and negative comments about he president.
