“Senator Harino [sic], who I said the president spoke to just last night, he thanked the president for the immediate support of federal agencies have delivered for residents of Hawaii,” the Biden administration’s chief spokesperson told reporters, “and so does, has, so has Senator Shorts, Sharts — Schatz.”
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre mispronounced the names of Hawaii’s Democratic senators and misgendered one at a Monday press conference.Sen. Mazie Hirono , the first female senator from Hawaii, is serving her second term in the upper chamber.“The president is deeply concerned about the people in Maui to the point where he has mobilized a whole-of-government approach here, as he has done many times to deal with these wildfires in Hawaii,” Jean-Pierre went on.
Sen. Brian Schatz is serving his second full term after having been tapped in 2012 by Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie to replace the late Democratic senator Daniel Inouye.“That is not going to stop. The president has also committed to being there for the government of Hawaii, the people of Maui for as long as it takes.”
The president told reporters he had “no comment” on the devastation during his weekend retreat to his beach home in Delaware.“As residents of Hawai’i mourn the loss of life and devastation taking place across their beautiful home, we mourn with them. Like I’ve said, not only our prayers are with those impacted – but every asset we have will be available to them,” the statement read.
