President Joe Biden traveled to the U.S. Virgin Islands with his family as millions of Americans bore the brunt of one of the worst winter storms in history.
Erie County, New York, was one of the worst hits as 34 people died amid heavy snowfall and dangerously cold temperatures.
Hundreds of National Guard soldiers were deployed to help residents affected by the winter storms and check their well-being
As of writing, 86 people were rescued “from hazardous situations,” the National Guard said.
The storm killed an additional 25 people in 11 other states and left millions without power, CNN reported.
Amid all the chaos, Biden traveled to St. Croix for a vacation, reportedly staying at billionaire Democrat donors Bill and Connie Neville luxury apartment.
As usual, the establishment media’s reporting of Biden’s vacation was a far cry from the coverage that Sen. Ted Cruz received when he went on vacation earlier this year as people in Texas faced power outages.
