Fox's Harris Faulkner Unloads On Biden Over Tone-Deaf Remark In Fire-Ravaged Maui


Fox News’ Harris Faulkner blasted President Joe Biden’s “narcissistic” remark regarding the devastating and deadly wildfire in Maul during a visit to the Hawaiian island on Monday.

She and the rest of the “Outnumbered” hosts took Biden to task for claiming that he can relate to residents who literally lost everything, including more than 114 loved ones, in the blaze because he once experienced a small fire in the kitchen of one of his Delaware homes.

After the show opened a segment with a clip of Biden’s comments, co-host Kayleigh McEnany said, “You know, Harris, it doesn’t take much to realize there’s no comparison here. He didn’t almost lose his wife, his Corvette, and his cat because the local fire department, they said that it could be considered an insignificant fire.”

“The local fire chief told the Associated Press luckily we got it pretty early, the fire was under control in 20 minutes,” she added, citing the news report on the incident, which occurred in 2004. “I’m not sure the people of Lahaina can say the same with hundreds missing.”

Faulkner replied: “Well, and I read at one point they told him to vent the windows. So, you know, that would help the process. And that it was completely contained to the kitchen. So thank the good Lord for that.”

“But we are looking at a pathological narcissist at this point,” she added. “No one thinks that anything about what he went through in that incident with a small kitchen fire is anything like the inferno conditions that literally incinerated people on the island of Maui within seconds.”

“We still don’t know where more than 800 people are at this point,” Faulkner continued.  “Now, look, later in the conversation, he did go on to compare his loss from his wife and children earlier in his life and how, at first, he thought both of his sons were gone, but he found out that his two sons had survived and what that was like. And I can get it.”

Biden has been frequently criticized for constantly bringing up previous tragedies in his own life when others are suffering, with several critics claiming he always seems to be trying to make the issue about himself.

Maui residents were critical of Biden, too.

“I think it was a little bit tone-deaf,” resident Amanda Cassidy said, according to Fox News. “However, I can understand how he was trying to meet us somewhere and say, ‘I understand,’ but unfortunately that is nothing that compares to what happened to our community, our beautiful little town and the families of children that were lost and disabled and the elderly. I mean, a car and your kitchen is kind of just a little sad to hear …”

“I think people really want to see you show up for us and provide an eighth of what you’re giving to Ukraine. It’s outrageous. Lahaina is so hurt right now, and that was tone-deaf,” she added.
