"I know at this point that the government has not been truthful about the death toll," he said during an interview.
An independent journalist in Maui, Hawaii, who flew there to cover the devastating wildfires, claims that he was put in a "headlock" by Maui police for pressing the mayor on the unknown number of missing children and claims the government is hiding the severity of human loss.
"I know at this point that the government has not been truthful about the death toll," Nick Sortor, who traveled to Maui last week, told BlazeTV host Sara Gonzalez. "They’re not talking about the death toll of the children, either," even though "that is what the people here in Maui want to know," he said.
Other footage posted to X by Sortor this week shows him confronting Maui Mayor Richard Bissen repeatedly about the potentially high volume of children who have not been found since the fires began. A man who said he’s with the Maui Police Department then allegedly put Sortor in a "headlock" before saying Bissen is "done" taking questions.
Camera footage shows several seconds of chaos before panning back to the officer. This is when Sorter alleges the physical encounter occurred.
During the press conference, Mayor Bissen said, "I don’t know," when asked about the estimated number of missing kids. When accused of not being transparent, he threatened to end the press conference early.
According to The New York Times, upwards of 1,100 people are currently unaccounted for. Many are feared to be minors. The official death toll is currently 115, but that is speculated to be an underestimate of the actual number given the missing bodies and the portable morgues that have been put to use.
Bidencide.
And where is Øbama who allegedly was raised in Hawaii?
Total silence from POTUS 44.
At least Imposter 46 could say “no comment”.
Headlocks can be painful....
Well, the reporter is white. And he did come in from the mainland. And he did ask pointed questions to a lying local. So naturally, the local cops would feel free to abuse him.
“And where is Øbama who allegedly was raised in Hawaii? Total silence from POTUS 44.”
I had that very thought a week ago. Why has not Hawaii’s first presidential ‘son’ been spearheading the response with his former VP?
Answer: Because Obama doesn’t give a shi+ about Hawaii, much less America.
Is this not the police force that barred exit to people fleeing the fire? They murdered a number of the citizenry by not letting them escape. How many people did they speak to face to face before they turned them back to the flames? The man with the axe says, “This won’t hurt a bit.”
He was surely raised there. The question for which the answer has been hidden or faked is was he born there?
He's still healing up after that whole "Chef" thing. You're rignt, he has been CONSPICUOUSLY absent about Maui, when he would normally be commenting endlessly on every news network.
Dimocrats gonna dimocrat
Vanguard and BlackRock biggest shareholders of the power company in Maui, something else to think about.
I heard that Obama was on a local Hawaiian telethon, but that is all I’ve heard.
Democrats hate kids. They will build Maui into their own private fiefdom. The left destroy the best parts of CA so now they will occupy Maui. There will be no federal help or rebuild. Until all the undesirables have left and sold. They will starve them. The media coverage will be cut off.All will be forgotten. Leftists destroy and move along.
I lived on Maui. Many of the police there are corrupt. The ones who worked in the jail could’ve been on either side of the bars legitimately.
I knew that about Blackrock, but not Vanguard. I think Blackrock pretty much owns Maui Electric.
Convenient that downed power lines were the impetus for a catastrophe that would clear the land to make way for BR’s elite cronies to snatch up valuable land.
“They will build Maui into their own private fiefdom.”
I believe that’s the reason for the oh-so-convenient destruction. Maui will be the getaway for the beautiful people. An island to isolate them from the hoi polloi in the NWO. It’s happening.
They are marxists. Next will be bullets to the head.
How dare you ask your Demi gods a question! But just keep taking it. You’re so easy.
