Biden finally crawled out of his hole to deliver remarks on the catastrophic flooding and loss of life.
Both Biden and Kamala Harris were AWOL all weekend as Americans living in the flood zone lost everything.
Joe Biden gave billions of dollars to Ukraine but he doesn’t care about Americans. He told reporters that he has given enough resources to Hurricane Helene victims.
Kamala Harris was too busy fundraising in California all weekend to care about Americans suffering in the Southeast due to flooding from Hurricane Helene.
Biden mumbled through his remarks on Monday. He couldn’t get out of there fast enough.

As Biden closed his binder and walked away, one reporter asked why he and Kamala Harris were MIA all weekend.
“On the hurricane, why weren’t you and VP Harris here in Washington commanding this this weekend?” a reporter asked Biden.
Biden turned around and snapped at the reporter: “I was commanding! I was on the phone for at least two hours yesterday and the day before as well! I command! It’s called the telephone!”
