President Biden came under fire on Sunday after he was caught checking his watch during the dignified transfer of fallen U.S. service members killed in a terror attack at the Kabul airport last week.
But according to two gold star fathers, the president looked at his watch more than one time.
Speaking to Fox News’ Sean Hannity, Darin Hoover, father of slain Marine Staff Sgt. Taylor Hoover, claimed the commander in chief looked at his watch 13 times.
“That didn’t happen just once,” he alleged. “That happened on every single one that came out of that airplane. It happened on every single one of them. They would release the salute and he’d look down at his watch. On every last one. All 13—he looked down at his watch.”
Gold star father Mark Schmitz also noticed the frequency with which Biden checked the time.
"I actually leaned into my son's mother's ear and said 'I swear to God, if he checks his watch one more time...' I found it to be the most disrespectful thing I've ever seen,” said the father of slain Marine Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz.
Shana Chappell, mother of slain Marine Lance Cpl. Kareem Mae'Lee Grant Nikoui, also noted in a Facebook post that she witnessed the president check his watch five times. Her Facebook and Instagram accounts have since been suspended.
Conservatives on Twitter skewered Biden for showing such little respect.
What a complete sack of **** this guy is.

The accounts of the encounters between Biden and some of the families of the fallen men are even more disgusting.
They said as he turned to walk away after some of the family members let loose on him verbally, he threw his hand up in the air with a dismissive “whatever” gesture.
If only someone had yelled out what time it was every time he did that...
Biden’t handlers forced him into this scene when the polling numbers started coming in. It’s not really Biden’s fault.
Biden doing it for each of the Marines actually gives more credence to the idea that he has a rosary around his wrist. Why look at it as well as touch it, I don’t know, but it’s possible he’s saying a silent Hail Mary. Or invoking the memory of Beau.
Byedone should be clocked.
Biden is dancing a tightly choreographed jig for his handlers.
Yesterday I was surprised at the number of conservative people who bought the rosary story. They not only bought it, they dug in when challenged.
How many of Joe's associates or fellow democrats have condemned him for what he did in Afghanistan? How many have resigned? How many have been fired. The answer 'none' is very telling about the agenda of the democrat party.
Understandable if you factor in dementia. He might not even be quite aware of why he is there yet he still retains the decade containing that jagoff Beau and thus his continued references to him in his public remarks. (Beau was a JAG officer, was he not? jagoff!)
I watched and only saw him do it twice - which is 2 times too many.
What he did was look down every time a casket came down the plane ramp, whereas everyone else was looking in the direction of the casket. It was like he was avoiding it. I don’t think he watched one come from the plane. He picked up his head when it was directly in front of him. I think his eyes were closed quite a bit. I’m sure it could be excused as praying, not that he was. I thought it was disrespectful.
Also, they made an announcement that there were only 11 caskets, because 2 families wanted to receive their loved ones in private.
hope they have video
“Her Facebook and Instagram accounts have since been suspended.”
Well I guess this Gold Star mother won’t be receiving any condolences via Facebook or Instagram. This is pure evil and if the POTUS had any real empathy, he would publicly condemn this. Liberal insanity on display.
All Biden had to do was act dignified.
He could not do that because he has no dignity.
Biden never had dignity.
...and they said Trump did not behave “presidential”.....
Look at the photos from that fiasco closely. There isn’t a rosary in sight. And remember that Biden is the type of Catholic faker who would display it prominently for PR purposes.
yes, hope someone can locate the clips and put it together quickly.
Add into that unforgivable act, that hiding one’s face (wearing a mask) is no way to respect or honor the dead.
