A White House official explained to Peter Doocy why Joe Biden is in Southeast Asia on 9/11 and isn’t commemorating the terrorist attack and lives lost in New York City.

The reason they gave is horrible and will not play well with the American people:

Peter Doocy reported on Fox News that this is what he was told: “The analogy that I was given is that 22 years after Pearl Harbor, U.S. Presidents were not still going to visit Hawaii.”

Unbelievable. That is incredibly tone deaf and suggests that Biden really doesn’t care about the nearly 3,000 lives lost in New York City. I can’t imagine that’s going to sell well with the American people and I fully expect the White House to put out another statement ‘clarifying’ why Biden isn’t in New York City today.
