Hawaii lawmaker says Biden’s brief, sleepy visit was ‘slap in the face’ to Maui

A Hawaii state lawmaker on Friday slammed President Biden’s recent trip to the devastated island of Maui, telling Fox News that locals saw his comments as a “slap in the face,” criticizing him for routinely “butchering” official’s names and appearing to fall asleep during a memorial for fire victims.

Hawaii House Minority Floor Leader Diamond Garcia, R-Oahu, said the community is still reeling from the fires that left more than 100 dead and the city of Lahaina leveled.

Garcia told “Hannity” that Mauians could not believe Biden’s “no comment” response to reporters when he was first asked about the fires while vacationing in Sussex County, Del.

“The fact is the president came to Hawaii some time after the fires burnt down the entire town of Lahaina. And when he came, he came for less than 6 hours,” Garcia recounted.

“He landed, did a brief tour, held a press conference – where he literally butchered every single name that he mentioned — and then went to an event with the local families who lost everything. And he literally fell asleep in the midst of these families pouring out their hearts and sharing their experiences.”
