#shorts On 8/30/2023, a reporter asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “And it seems like the hurricane response so far is robust. Did you guys realize that the initial Hawaii wildfire response was not that good or is it just easier for people to get help from the White House when the President is not on vacation?
KJP: So, the premise of your question and the way you pose your question, I disagree, just for the record. So, if you talk to — if you were to do your reporting and speak to the governor of Hawaii, the senators of Hawaii, the folks on the ground, they would say that the President reacted in record time when it came to dealing with the wildfires, when it came to dealing and making sure that they got everything that they need on the federal level to deal with what was going on on the ground. Let’s not forget, there were more than 600 federal employees on the ground already to assist with the wildfires in Maui. So, your question is — is wrong — it’s flawed in many, many ways. And I would — I would — I would advise you to go speak to the governor and the local and state officials in — in Hawaii.
