A Hawaii Democrat who now leads the Green New Deal Network slammed President Biden for saying "no comment" on the deadly Maui wildfires on Sunday.
President Joe Biden is in some hot water for his response, or lack thereof, to the ongoing Hawaii wildfires.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna criticized President Biden's "no comment" on the deadly Hawaiian wildfires death toll during his beach getaway in Delaware, contrasting his support for Ukraine.
Deadly wildfires in Hawaii, which caused the biggest death toll in more than a century in the US and forced thousands to evacuate from their homes, expose the incompetence of the US government, said analysts, with many local residents who survived the disaster posting videos on social media criticizing the problematic response of local authorities and poor early warning system. Residents also criticized US mainstream media reports, saying this was not just a natural disaster, but also a man-made calamity.
Biden was slammed by both his typical critics and rivals as well as some from his own side of the aisle.
