“I remember when I got the call about my first wife and daughter. I was a young senator and got a call in Washington and I hadn’t been sworn in yet. I wasn’t old enough and I was hiring staff at the Capitol and I got a phone call from the fire department,” Biden said.
Biden continued to talk about himself, “They said your wife, she’s dead. Come home. Come home.”
Following a brief address in Lahaina, Joe Biden proceeded to interact with victims and first responders of the Maui wildfire.
After mumbling through a short speech in Lahaina, Joe Biden shuffled over to meet with Maui wildfire victims and first responders where he told a made up story about his house burning down.
“I don’t want to compare difficulties, but Jill and I have a little sense of what it’s like to lose a home,” Biden said.
“I was in Washington and… lightning struck at home… I almost lost my wife, my ’67 Corvette, and my cat,” Biden said as he chuckled.
After spending a mere 6 hours in Maui, President Biden departed to continue his vacation in Lake Tahoe.
