Description
A CNN interview with a resident of New Orleans went south when the woman asked, quite pointedly, where
President Joe Biden is as an entire American city sits without power following the landfall of Hurricane Ida Sunday.
But when speaking to CNN Friday morning, one woman who was desperate for relief from the summer elements in the Big Easy started asking some questions when a microphone was put in her face by the left-wing network.
A woman name Myra Castro told CNN she was sleeping in her car and she has children who are going hungry in the September heat.
My kids are hot, we hungry, we gonna die in here. Where’s FEMA. Where’s the Red Cross?” she asked. “ We need help now. Can ya’ll help us?”
“It’s hard out here, can they help us? Where’s the president? Can he come help us?”
Biden is scheduled to travel to Louisiana on Friday to tour the damage, Reuters reported. It isn’t clear if he will understand the magnitude of the suffering on the ground, or if he will actually care if he does grasp what happened to people like Castro.
Biden’s presidency thus far can be summed up by a formula of crisis and then a callous disregard for suffering brought on by it. Look at how he treats Gold Star families.
But Hurricane Ida is one crisis Biden can’t be blamed for, just in the way that 2005’s devastating Hurricane Katrina shouldn’t have been blamed on then-President George W. Bush. But it was.
