As the Biden administration continues to fumble their response, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has floated the possibility of Congress beginning an inquiry into the federal government’s handling of the situation.
At least 115 bodies have been recovered and hundreds of residents from the village of Lahaina are still reported missing.
During a recent trip to Syracuse, New York, Speaker McCarthy expressed his concern for how local officials responded and how long it took them to do so:
“We saw the devastation that happened in Maui. … I’m very concerned about the response. We still have hundreds of individuals that are missing. I think there’s going to have to be a congressional investigation into the response on Maui. How could you lose that many Americans?”
Rep Lauren Boebert (R-CO) backed up McCarthy’s idea by calling it “absolutely necessary” given what appears to be persistent failures by President Joe Biden during times of crisis.
With details leaking out about unqualified officials throttling water supplies during the fire, Biden further dodged answering questions about his administration’s response before jetting off for vacation in Lake Tahoe, resulting in even more criticism from island residents.
It is incredibly important that action is taken now—we cannot let this tragedy happen again without trying to understand why it did happen and how we can prevent something like this from happening again in future.
