Joe Biden’s recent trip to hurricane-ravaged North Carolina has raised eyebrows, particularly regarding his timing and actions during a time of crisis. After facing backlash for lounging on the beach while fellow Americans were facing devastation, Biden decided to grace North Carolina with his presence. Unfortunately for the victims, the visit seemed more about optics than actual help. The President did a flyover of the area but completely skipped meeting with any of the individuals who had just suffered tremendous losses.
The aftermath of the hurricane left many residents in desperate need of assistance. Kamala Harris, in her infinite wisdom, proposed a meager $750 in immediate aid for those affected by the storm, advising them to apply online. For those who lost everything, including power and internet access, this “solution” was particularly laughable. Giving paltry sums to struggling families while the Biden administration pours millions into Ukraine and supports illegal immigration does little to help Americans in need and has only stoked public outrage.
After a week, Biden visits North Carolina, hinders rescue operation for 4 hours after imposing 30 n-miles TFR from 1200hrs until 1600hrs. Drones restricted so you shouldn’t know how bad it’s. Of course, Harris is busy campaign with Liz Cheney in Wisconsin!pic.twitter.com/odMP2C4CNx

Adding to the confusion, reports have emerged detailing how the President’s visit delayed much-needed aid efforts. As the storm wiped out vital roads, many affected areas could only be reached by air. Though Biden claimed his visit wouldn’t interfere with rescue operations, it became evident that he had obstructed them due to a no-fly zone imposed during his time on the ground.
One witness to the chaos was Blaze correspondent Julio Rosas, who was on-site during the rescue efforts. While his crew sat idle for hours waiting for the temporary flight restrictions to lift, communities in desperate need of assistance remained unreachable. His experience underscores a significant problem: the Biden administration’s priorities seem misplaced when they allow political theater to interrupt crucial aid operations.
These delays were echoed by Congressman Cory Mills from Florida, who has been actively providing aid to the affected areas. Mills criticized Biden’s flight restrictions, calling them “irresponsible” and claiming they hampered search and rescue efforts. With FEMA failing to execute its duties properly, it seems even less competent local government is getting in the way of those willing to lend a hand. A true public servant like Mills highlights the stark contrast between those willing to step up in a crisis and the administration that appears more interested in maintaining appearances than in delivering real assistance to American citizens.
