From Fox News: President Biden made what many considered a “disgusting” joke during his remarks on the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires Thursday.
Biden convened senior administrative officials to address the federal response to the Pacific Palisades wildfires that have continued to rage throughout the county, forcing the displacement of thousands of California citizens and destroying thousands of homes and buildings.
After briefing the public on the federal government’s plan to help local officials during the disaster, Biden gave the floor to Vice President Kamala Harris, who hails from California, and made a quick joke.
“Madam Vice President, I know you’re directly affected. So you fire away, no pun intended,” Biden said.

Biden actually repeated the phrase, “Fire away,” multiple times. Every time he invited someone else to speak, he said it.
He said it a total of FOUR times, that I could find.
