It appears President Joe Biden’s head is in the sand while on vacation in Delaware. With 367 vacation days under his belt in just over 2.5 years, Biden has set an all-time presidential record by being out of the office roughly 40% of the time.
When asked by reporters about the rising death toll in Hawaii as the island burns from severe wildfires, the leader of the free world said “no comment” before heading home.
The video quickly went viral on social media as Americans reacted in disgust. “UNREAL,” political commentator Liz Wheeler responded in full caps. (Poll: Is the Country Going In The Right Direction Under Biden? VOTE)
