13 U.S. service members are dead, and Biden’s response has been cold-hearted and unremorseful.
During the dignified transfer of service members killed in the Kabul airport attack, Biden appeared to look at his watch.
Biden’s botched withdrawal forced these brave men and women into harm’s way, yet this is a president who refuses to take responsibility for his failures, smirks and tells jokes when asked about Afghanistan, and laughs during a press conference after the terrorist attack.
As The Washington Post reported, Biden is failing the families of America’s fallen heroes:
One of McCollum's sisters, Roice, said she and her sister and her father joined McCollum's wife, Jiennah McCollum, on the trip. But when it came time to meet with the president, they left the room, because she said they did not want to speak with the man they held responsible for McCollum's death.
Only Jiennah, who is expecting the couple's child next month, stayed. But she left disappointed, Roice said. The president brought up his son, Beau, according to her account, describing his son's military service and subsequent death from cancer. It struck the family as scripted and shallow, a conversation that lasted only a couple of minutes in "total disregard to the loss of our Marine," Roice said.
"You can't f--- up as bad as he did and say you're sorry," Roice said of the president. "This did not need to happen, and every life is on his hands."
The White House declined to comment on the private conversations Biden had with families.
At home in Clearwater, Fla., Paula Knauss stared at the service taking place about 1,022 miles away and said that watching it from the television "opened a floodgate" of different emotions about her son, Ryan Knauss.
There was heartbreak over losing him. There was pride for "a hero who saved the lives of over 2,000 Afghans." But there was also disappointment over what Knauss deemed a lack of leadership and protection for the service members in Afghanistan.
"You can't have a hasty withdrawal after 20 years of war," she said. "Because it's beyond me. It disgraces the name of all those who have fought in the past and who are now on ground, foreign ground fighting right now, my son's [82nd] Airborne is still there, and they deserve to be protected."
The blood, chaos, and death at the Kabul airport is on Biden. He has failed Americans in Afghanistan, U.S. service members, the families of the fallen, and the American people.
