President Joe Biden saw firsthand on Monday what he described as "incredibly heartbreaking" devastation inflicted by recent flash floods that killed at least 37 people in southeastern Kentucky and left a path of destruction across several counties.
Biden's motorcade wound along Lost Creek in Breathitt County, whose banks were strewn with flood detritus including building materials and clothing. A plastic laundry basket was lodged high in a tree. A prefabricated home was twisted and lifted off the ground along its axis. A large red "X" was painted on its side.
The motorcade stopped briefly at a site where a school bus, carried by floodwaters, was crashed into partially-collapsed building.

Fraud
Biden’s up Lost Creek without a paddle.
Was anyone in attendance? Only hear people around podium clapping. Also the camera stops following him into the crowd.
