President Biden is facing brutal backlash for a quip about a Maui cadaver dog that went viral just hours into his disastrous visit to the site of the deadly wildfires — with critics blasting his ill-timed attempts at comic relief as “poor taste.”
“You guys catch the boots out here? That’s a hot ground, man,” Biden, 80, joked while petting a cadaver dog, Dexter, and chatting with first responders in Lahaina in a video shared by self-proclaimed “news breaker” Greg Price on Monday evening.
Biden’s comment elicited smiles and laughs from the crowd, but quickly drew ire on social media, where the president is already catching heat for apparently making light of the devastating blazes after initially refusing to comment on the disaster for several days.
“Bro is sightseeing and trying to be comic relief for the tour. No sense of what has happened there at all,” wrote a “homeschool dad” whose bio on X (formerly Twitter) describes himself as a MAGA conservative.
Another account blasted the hot ground remark as “poor taste,” while a third chimed in that the octogenarian reminded them of Mr. Burns from “The Simpsons.”
The Republican National Committee accused Biden of being “distracted” by the dog.
Lmao!
