Father of Slain Marine Has Strong Words for President Biden
Townhall.com ^ | August 28, 2021 | Rebecca Downs

Thursday, described by even the liberal mainstream media as "the worst day of Biden's presidency," was the deadliest day for the U.S. military in Afghanistan in a decade. At least thirteen service members died, which means 13 families received tragic news about their lost loved ones. The identities of these service members are starting to come in, which Julio has covered. One such family member, Steve Nikoui, whose 20-year old son, Kareem, shared how he was "still in shock" over that "excruciating day" with The Daily Beast.

As Justin Rohrlich and Willian Bredderman reported for the outlet, with added emphasis:

Through tears, Nikoui expressed flashes of anger along with his anguish. He said he wants to “respect the office” of the president, but doesn’t have much love for President Joe Biden at the moment. A Trump supporter, Nikoui was happy that Trump was in office when Kareem joined the Marines. “I really believed this guy didn’t want to send people into harm’s way,” he said.

“They sent my son over there as a paper pusher and then had the Taliban outside providing security,” said Nikoui. “I blame my own military leaders… Biden turned his back on him. That’s it.”

Speaking of former President Donald Trump, he rightfully reminded voters just how different the situation would be if he were still in office. Julio reported on video remarks Trump from Trump released on Thursday.

A particularly memorable part of Biden's presidency lately has been the image of him turning his back as he leaves the room after delivering remarks on Afghanistan, after he's shown up late. Often times it's without even taking questions from the press.

Even when he has taken questions, as he did on Thursday, he is no more comforting or coherent. The president raised many eyebrows when he casually said out loud that "ladies and gentlemen, they gave me a list here" and that whoever "they" were, had "instructed" him on who he should call on, and in what order. It's right there in the official White House transcript.

But, as Nikoui shared as he mourns his son's death, Biden turning his back takes on a whole new meaning.

Biden needs to be away from the reins of power immediately. He is a clear and present danger.

No one is asking who "they" are. Who is it exactly that is giving orders to the president?

He can expect a visit from the SS and IRS tax audits for the past 10-years...

However much blood Biden and his handlers have on their hands, an EQUAL portion of blood is on the hands of RINO-controlled state legislatures who gave the Steal to Potato Joe on a platter by refusing to enforce voter ID. They put their petty hatred of Trump above their country.

Stolen elections have consequences.

If you do one thing, be sure to vote in the 2022 primaries to oust these traitors. If everyone with an (R) after their name had been a fighter and patriot like Trump, the Republican party would be unstoppable. Yeah, it might very well be too late to make a difference, but my blood just boils over these traitors not having to pay a political price for their treachery. I'm not just going to sit at home and let them get back in without a fight.

Thank God my son is out of the 82nd. He fought in combat in 02-04 in Afcrapistan and Iraq. I was ready for the visit for 4 years. My heart goes out to these parents.

I’ll take this guy more seriously when I see him doing public service ads telling young Americans to stay the hell away from the military.

This isn’t even the first time he’s said ‘he’s got to be careful what he says because of what “they” would think’. Not one reporter even questioned him on this ever?

“state legislatures who gave the Steal to Potato Joe on a platter by refusing to enforce voter ID.”

That’s not the answer and isn’t the problem. The mail in ballot fraud was the main problem and it was massive.

The smartest guy in the U.S. military right now is that Lt. Col. in the Marines who was just relieved of his duties for publicly criticizing his superiors. He gets to walk away with his life and his dignity intact.

Prove me wrong.

Dementia Joe isn’t calling anybody.

He cannot even hold a press conference.

That’s exactly what I tell the young people in my family.

Good for you. It’s disturbing to see how many Freepers would criticize you for that even today.

I guess they’re the same ones who were surrendering their freedom in March 2020 and have been wearing diapers on their faces since then.

Ding Ding Ding.............HandBasketHell wins the internet and FR today!!!!

But, for me, MORE blood is on their hands. They’re the ones that started this dumpster fire.

OK … and?

He’s been quoted in international media outlets. Is it all right with you if I post a response?
