Online Public Relations Thoughts

A leader knows when to send a message by showing up and demonstrating concern.   That's what President Biden did in Kentucky when he toured the destruction wrought by tornadoes.  The irony is he did it in a heavily Republican district whose Congressman is a vocal opponent of Biden and a full-throated supporter for former President Trump.  Biden handled it nicely.  He said in tragedies there are no red and blue states but humans in need.  It is interesting that Biden invited the entire Kentucky delegation to visit with him but only one accepted, Congressman James Comer, the representative of the district.  The others stayed in Washington DC and let it be known they would visit later.  It seems they don't accept Biden's view that there should be no politics at a time like this.  Cynics will say that Biden did it for a photo-op, but the people he visited know the White House is paying attention and help is on the way.
