Will Biden Remember Fallen SEALs?

Rapid Response

Two heroic Navy SEALs were declared dead this weekend following a 10-day search off the coast of Somalia.

The pair went missing after a raid on a vessel thought to be carrying “Iranian-supplied advanced conventional weapons.”

As of 10:20 a.m. ET, Biden hasn’t said a word about these fallen American heroes — no statement, no tweet, not a thing.

That’s not surprising. Biden repeatedly checked his watch during the dignified transfer of the 13 heroes killed in his botched Afghanistan withdrawal — and still refuses to say their names out loud. Biden snubbed a portion of a Medal of Honor ceremony honoring a Vietnam veteran, attempted to fire military personnel for refusing the vaccine, and used Marines as a backdrop in an angry, partisan speech.

Meanwhile, his administration continues to downplay Iran-backed attacks against U.S. troops in the Middle East — even after more than 140 attacks have resulted in at least 70 injuries to U.S. personnel.

Is this the kind of callous “deterrence” we can expect from the Biden administration, which enriched the Iranian regime with tens of billions of dollars?

Leadership starts at the top, and Biden has none of it.
