Biden's staggering remark about disaster-struck Americans confirms he's out to lunch
Biden suggested that those affected by the hurricane were universally 'happy.'
Hurricane Helene has wrought havoc, killing at least 215 Americans and leaving thousands homeless. Entire communities, such as Chimney Rock, North Carolina, are in ruins. Many citizens remain stranded, powerless, and in desperate need of supplies.
When reading speeches in some of the affected states this week, President Joe Biden signaled an understanding of the disaster's impact — noting in Raleigh, for instance, the "historic proportions" of the damages. However, a passing encounter with the press upon his return to the White House Thursday revealed the Democratic president has at best a sporadic grasp on the reality of the situation.
"What do the states in the storm zone need, Mr. President?" a reporter asked Biden.
"Sorry?" responded the 81-year-old president, who had just finished off celebrating former Jan. 6 committee member Liz Cheney's supposed "physical courage" in endorsing Kamala Harris.
