Harris Faulkner unloaded on President Joe Biden over his remarks likening the catastrophic Maui wildfires to a small fire in his Delaware kitchen, roasting the “pathological narcissist” who once again made everything about himself.
The deeply unpopular Democrat finally paid a visit to the Hawaiian island on Monday, taking a short break from his latest vacation to tour the devastation in Lahaina where he told residents, many of who have lost everything, that he can relate because the kitchen blaze could have damaged his prized Corvette Stingray.
The “Outnumbered” crew weighed in on Biden’s deeply insensitive remarks on Tuesday’s edition of the popular afternoon Fox News show with Faulkner roasting the geriatric leader and wondering why his handlers would allow him to dip into his bag of stories on such a somber occasion.

After opening the segment with a clip of Biden’s comments, co-host Kayleigh McEnany said, “You know, Harris it doesn’t take much to realize there’s no comparison here. He didn’t almost lose his wife, his Corvette, and his cat because the local fire department, they said that it could be considered an insignificant fire.”
“The local fire chief told the Associated Press luckily we got it pretty early, the fire was under control in 20 minutes,” she added, citing the news report on the 2004 incident. “I’m not sure the people of Lahaina can say the same with hundreds missing.”
Faulkner responded, “Well, and I read at one point they told him to vent the windows. So, you know, that would help the process. And that it was completely contained to the kitchen. So thank the good Lord for that.”
“But we are looking at a pathological narcissist at this point,” she said. “No one thinks that anything about what he went through in that incident with a small kitchen fire is anything like the inferno conditions that literally incinerated people on the island of Maui within seconds.”
“We still don’t know where more than 800 people are at this point,” Faulkner continued. “Now, look, later in the conversation, he did go on to compare his loss from his wife and children earlier in his life and how at first he thought both of his sons were gone, but he found out that his two sons had survived and what that was like. And I can get it.”
Some residents of the fire-ravaged island were also appalled at Biden’s spinning his kitchen fire yarn.
“I think it was a little bit tone-deaf,” resident Amanda Cassidy is quoted by Fox News. “However, I can understand how he was trying to meet us somewhere and say, ‘I understand,’ but unfortunately that is nothing that compares to what happened to our community, our beautiful little town and the families of children that were lost and disabled and the elderly. I mean, a car and your kitchen is kind of just a little sad to hear …”
“I think people really want to see you show up for us and provide an eighth of what you’re giving to Ukraine. It’s outrageous. Lahaina is so hurt right now and that was tone-deaf,” she added.
