Maui Mayor refuses to tell press how many children are missing, bizarre showdown triggers outrage

A tense showdown between a reporter and Maui Mayor Richard Bissen sent social media into over-drive.
The reporter was trying to figure out how many children were reported missing following the Lahaina fire. This is information that any rational person would believe the government has, even if the number may not be complete or final.
However, Mayor Bissen appeared to be uninterested in sharing the information with the media, even threatening to end the interview as the disbelieving reporter pressed him for a number.
Watch:

He's either horribly inept or he's covering for something. I don't see a path for a third option (unless it's "both").

The Red Cross forces this so they can get paid to feed people. It's horse shite.

Has this been verified, or is it like the reports of a media ban that turned out to be an outright fabrication linked to one random "private journalist" trying to drum up followers on Twitter?

All that video proves is that ET did not go home.

He said he didn't know. Then the wise arse reporter said "Yeees you doooo" in a very wise arse tone.
Sometimes "I don't know is the correct answer". A good follow up would be to ask for a range or low ball number, not to act like an arse.

Or it’s so tragic he doesn’t want to share numbers about children, specifically. Why ask for that number anyway? Total number of people missing is all he needs to share. The locals don’t need to listen to those kind of numbers on the news.

Democrats cover for each other
The democrats do not want to shed light on their deficiencies.

That is so weird. What the hell would be the reason for acting like that over that specific question unless there was some serious incompetence, or nefarious deeds going on?

Why do reporters want the number of missing children, specifically? Why not just accept total missing?
