In response to criticism of the White House’s response to the wildfires in Hawaii, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre asserted that Democrat President Joe Biden “reacted in record time” to the catastrophe.
In response to accusations over Biden’s apparent lack of interest in the tragedy while he was on vacation, Jean-Pierre made the assertion during a news briefing on Wednesday while gaslighting.
“It seems like the hurricane response so far is robust,” Fox News reporter Peter Doocy said to Jean-Pierre.
“Did you guys realize that the initial Hawaii wildfire response was not that good or is it just easier for people to get help from the White House when the president is not on vacation?”
Here is Jean-Pierre’s response:
“So, if you talk to — if you were to do your reporting and speak to the governor of Hawaii, the senators of Hawaii, the folks on the ground, they would say that the president reacted in record time when it came to dealing with the wildfires when it came to dealing and making sure that they got everything that they need on the federal level to deal with what was going on on the ground.”
“Let’s not forget, there were more than 600 federal employees on the ground already to assist with the wildfires in Maui,” she claimed.
“So, your question is — is wrong — it’s flawed in many, many ways.
“And I would — I would — I would advise you to go speak to the governor and the local and state officials in — in Hawaii.”
WATCH:
Before traveling to Maui, Biden sparked controversy by declining to comment on the fires since he was on vacation.
Angry demonstrators raised middle fingers, yelled insults, and carried “no comment” signs as they surrounded his limousine.
“Go home Joe!” they yelled.
