A video reposted by Fox News reporter Will Cain, who owns property in Maui, shows a group of furious survivors of the Maui fire shouting “thanks for nothing! and “f*ck you!”, with some giving the middle finger to Joe Biden’s motorcade as it drives by.
This incident is just one of the many hostile receptions Joe Biden received, following his two back-to-back vacations and repeated “no comment” responses, before finally visiting the fire-devastated Hawaiian island 13 days later.
Others can be heard saying “here he comes after 13 days” and “wow, he’s finally here!”
As Breaking Digest previously reported, protesters displayed signs with the messages “He’s too late” and “Actions speak louder than words.”
One Maui resident hung the U.S. flags upside down and placed a sign in their yard that read “Traitor Joe Must Go!!”

Will Cain:
People keep asking me what the attitude is of people in Maui toward Biden. I’ve heard numerous times today about the traffic and how locked down the island is before his arrival. There’s also some “disappointment” about how long it took him to come as evidenced by this video.
btw – I get that those two feelings are hard to reconcile. But I’d say it’s a smaller contradiction to try to reconcile than our support for Ukraine versus Maui. Whatever the case, this is how people feel. Video I believe is from @TonysSupply as seen on @hhhnewz on IG.
Watch:
The Daily Signal’s Tony Kinnett, who is in Maui, reported the local residents’ response to Biden.
Y’all have no idea how LIVID the locals on Maui are to this. I’m learning new, descriptive swear words.
Will try to get a few short interviews from locals about this as quickly as possible. My God. That comment about “almost losing the ’67 Corvette” had one man about to throw his chair.
“I’LL NEVER VOTE FOR HIM AGAIN—I’LL VOTE FOR TRUMP.” Hawaiians outraged over President Biden comparing the Maui wildfires killing hundreds to “almost losing” his ’67 Corvette:
Rebel News journalist Lincoln Jay shared a video of an interview with one of the residents who flipped off Biden’s motorcade.
MAUI FIRE: NOT SO WARM WELCOME for JOE BIDEN as he arrives in Lahaina. The president’s 20+ vehicle motorcade is welcomed with a local giving them the middle finger. “The whole system in place in our government, in the USA is corrupt”.
Jay also posted a photo of a house with a sign that read: “No comment… and no ice cream”:
A video shared by Jeremy Loffredo shows only a few supporters were there to welcome Biden in Maui.
Biden arrives in Lahaina w/ a motorcade of tinted windows & giant SUVs – destitute Hawaiian locals can be sure their head of state is truly getting an accurate feeling of the loss they just endured. About 10 people out of the 145k Maui population show up to greet him. I stopped counting motorcade vehicles after 27.
Newsweek reported:
President Joe Biden’s motorcade on Monday was met with angry messages on signs held by some community members as he arrived in Lahaina, Maui, to meet with those impacted by the devastating wildfires that tore through the Hawaiian island nearly 13 days ago.
The president visited alongside first lady Jill Biden to meet with victims and emergency workers as officials continue to search for the nearly 1,000 residents believed to be unaccounted for. The wildfires have been deemed among the deadliest in U.S. history, with a confirmed death toll of 114.
But according to pool reporters who traveled with Biden’s motorcade, the president was met with some hostility from residents of the island, who held up signs that read “F*** Biden” and “Trump Won.”
