'Joe Biden is lying about his kitchen fire… again,' one user
wrote on X

Social media critics tore into President Biden on Wednesday
after the president compared a small fire in his home to the
destruction wrought by the natural disaster in Hawaii and
Hurricane Idalia going on in Florida.

Users slammed the president for seemingly making the tragedy
about himself and embellishing how destructive the actual fire
was to his house.

Several users fact-checked Biden’s claims, pointing out that the
fire first respondents put out at his residence did not extend
out of the kitchen, a far cry from the damage many people in
Hawaii have suffered due to historic wildfires that have killed
over 100 people in the state.

BIDEN BLASTED FOR COMPARING KITCHEN FIRE IN HIS HOME TO
DEVASTATING MAUI BLAZE: ‘ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING’

Biden made his comparison during a speech on ongoing recovery
efforts in Maui, which also included some comments on the state
of Florida as it faces Hurricane Idalia.

Attempting to relate to the two disasters, Biden brought up
dealing with lightning striking his home and causing a small
fire. As he told it from the podium, Biden and his family were
forced to stay out of the home for more than half a year for
repairs.

After talking about devastation in Hawaii and multitudes of
people being without homes, the president said, "I didn’t [have]
anything like that, but lightning struck my house. We had to be
out of that house for about seven months while it was repaired,
because so much damage was done to the house."

"Half the house almost collapsed," he added.

Conservatives on social media blasted Biden’s words, with some
providing the proper context surrounding what really happened at
his home.

GOP Rapid Response Director Jake Schneider seemed exasperated
with Biden’s anecdote, posting to X, "You gotta be kidding me."

GOP comms person Matt Whitlock posted, "Oh my gosh he did it
again. Days of terrible coverage for comparing almost losing his
car to a wildfire that killed over a hundred people with
hundreds still missing .... and he just did it again."

Whitlock stated Biden did it "again," because only days ago,
while visiting Hawaii’s disaster area, he claimed a fire at his
home almost resulted in the death of his wife, his cat, and Jill
Biden.

EFFECTIVE IN A SECOND TERM, POLL FINDS

At the time. he said, "I don’t want to compare difficulties, but
we have a little sense, Jill and I, what it’s like to lose a
home. Years ago — now 15 years ago — I was in Washington doing
‘Meet the Press.’ It was a sunny Sunday, and lightning struck at
home on a little lake that’s outside of our home — not a lake, a
big pond — and hit a wire and came up underneath our home into
the heating ducts — the air conditioning ducts."

He added, "To make a long story short, I almost lost my wife, my
‘67 Corvette, and my cat. But all kidding aside, I watched the
firefighters, the way they responded."
