President Joe Biden, pictured in the White House last week, tried to meet Sunday with survivors of service members who died in Thursday's bombing attacks in Kabul, Afghanistan. Most of the family of one Marine, however, left the room.
On Sunday — three days after explosions wreaked havoc outside of Afghanistan’s Hamid Karzai International Airport — President Joe Biden flew to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to receive the flag-draped remains of the 13 U.S. service members killed in the attack.
Before receiving these heroes who had returned home at last, Biden decided to meet with their families.
In at least one aspect, though, it blew up in his face, when most members of a Gold Star family walked out on him before they could even exchange a word.
The development was buried deep in an article in The Washington Post that bore a headline that would never let a cursory reader know the presidential embarrassment had even happened: “Biden meets with families of service members killed in Kabul as U.S. races to exit Afghanistan.”
The article pressed the urgency of the swiftly approaching Aug. 31 withdrawal deadline and labeled Biden’s Afghanistan pullout a “tragedy,” rounded off with “tumult and growing anger with his stewardship.”
Though we should all be outraged by what this withdrawal has become, by what we’re seeing, not many — if anyone at all — has as much right to be outraged as the families who grieve for their lost loved ones, their (and our) fallen heroes.
Jiennah McCollum, the expectant wife of 20-year-old Marine Lance Cpl. Rylee McCollum, who died in Thursday’s suicide bombing in Kabul, awaited the “dignified transfer of remains” with two of her sisters-in-law and her father-in-law, Rylee’s sister Roice told the Post.

God bless these grieving families for their unimaginable loss, and, for turning their backs on this t*rd of a fake prez.
Biden yelling: “I don’t need you anyway. You guys were just cheap photo-op props to be used and thrown away.”
Amen.
May God ease their suffering.
One of the grieving mothers posted that Biden has blood on his hands. FaceBook censored her post. Instagram deleted her account.
Enemies of the people. Mortal. Enemies. Of. The. People.

What did you expect? Mark Zuckerberg is a member of the Democratic Party. If his was in China, he would be a high ranking member of the Chinese Communist Party.
Joe is a narcissist and a sociopath
“...when most members of a Gold Star family walked out on him before they could even exchange a word.”
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU, Gold Star Family! God Bless & Keep You!
Afghanistan? The Democrats say Afghanistan is old news and it’s time to move on. They’re all headed back Covid world and global warming.
Wait! What? Didn’t he empathize with his Beau story?
Resident Biden committed open treason by betraying American citizens and leaving them behind to be tortured and murdered by the savage terrorists of the Taliban.
That is disgusting.
We need a 14th beer for Beaus heroic last stand.
Washington Post toadies suck...
I believe he did use dead Beau again.
Did Joe tweek any child nipples or sniff some hair?
My father was a Navy veteran and had brain cancer 60 years after service. So I’m a gold star family member, like Joe.
Yes, he did.
“Only Jiennah, who is expecting the couple’s child next month, stayed. But she left disappointed, Roice [McCollum’s sister] 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.Mark Schmitz - the father of Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz - and Darin Hoover - the father of Staff Sgt Darin Taylor Hoover Jr. - spoke to Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday night.
Both claimed the commander in chief did not just check his watch once, but after every casket was removed from the plane.
Hoover also told how he refused to meet with the president at the event.
Schmitz said his own meeting ‘didn’t go well’, and Biden spent more time talking about his own son Beau than Jared Schmitz.
Schmitz said Biden spoke of losing his son Beau Biden, an Iraq veteran, to cancer six years ago. But Schmitz said that he wanted to talk about Jared instead and that he and his wife took out a photo of their son to show the president.
"I said: ‘Don’t you ever forget that name. Don’t you ever forget that face. Don’t you ever forget the names of the other 12,’" Schmitz told The Post. "‘And take some time to learn their stories.’"
But according to Schmitz, the president didn’t like that and bristled, replying: ‘I do know their stories.’
