Joe Biden on the side of the fire victims in Colorado

Joe Biden went to the Colorado fire victims to express his support, a week after the fires pum destroyed thousands of homes.

“We lost everything”, said a resident to their president USA and his wife, Jill Biden.

“I’m not even dressed properly because these are all the clothes I have left”, the man continued, pointing to the shorts he was wearing, while the wreckage of the neighborhood was covered by snow.

“We definitely need help,” said his son, who also wore shorts.

A woman asked Jill Biden if he could hug her, then she did.

“We shall Overcome”, said another resident.

The US president then went to a recreation center that has been turned into a shelter, where he stressed that there is, as he sees it, “nothing more frightening” than a fire.

“I can not even imagine what it is like to be in this neighborhood and see winds that reach speeds of up to 160 kilometers per hour and flames approaching you,” he continued, after the particularly devastating period of fires in the United States.

“This situation is a red alert for our country”, he continued, pointing out the unusually strong winds and the late arrival of the snow, which created a “powder magazine” for him.

He also stressed that the “reality” that climate change is exacerbating fires cannot be ignored.

To the families who asked him “and now what do we do”, he replied «We stand next to each other (…). This is the way”, promising to receive state support.
