Gold Star families blast Biden for checking watch during ceremony for fallen
NY Post ^ | 8/31/2021 | Samuel Chamberlain and Callie Patteson

Family members of the US Marines killed in last week’s suicide terror attack at the Kabul airport are slamming President Joe Biden for his behavior at the dignified transfer ceremony over the weekend — with one Gold Star father accusing the commander-in-chief of “the most disrespectful thing I’ve ever seen,” as he repeatedly looked at his watch during the ceremony.

Darin Hoover, the father of Marine Staff Sgt. Taylor Hoover, told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that Biden checked the time every single time a flag-draped coffin was removed from the hold of the Air Force C-17 Globemaster plane during Sunday’s ceremony at Dover Air Force Base in the president’s home state of Delaware.

“They would release the salute and he looked down at his watch on every last one,” Hoover said. “All 13, he looked down at his watch.”

Mark Schmitz — whose 20-year-old son, Marine Lance Cpl. Jared Schmitz, died in the attack — corroborated Hoover’s story.

“I actually leaned into my son’s mother’s ear and I said, ‘I swear to God, if he checks his watch one more time …’,” Schmitz recalled, “and that was only probably four times in. I couldn’t look at him anymore after that, just considering, especially, the time and why we were there. I found it to be the most disrespectful thing I’ve ever seen.”

Schmitz recounted to the Washington Post an outburst that occurred towards the end of the ceremony, where one woman allegedly shouted at Biden, “I hope you burn in hell! That was my brother!”

Is it possibly a Smart Watch that gives him texts? Is he checking it for instructions from his staff? This makes it no less disrespectful, but perhaps his was the idea of his chief of Staff.

WHERE was our pampered ‘media’ while all this was happening? Did they forget how to ‘report’ on events? That IS the reason they call themselves ‘journalists’. Right??

I don’t suppose these Gold Star parents are going to be paraded around by the DNCMedia the way the anti-Trump Gold Star parents were.

Funny, I didn’t see that on the evening news.

There are two realities. First, the real one that you and I know. In this reality biden hates this country and is using his power to destroy it. Then there’s the fake reality created by the warped minds of the left and their propaganda arm, the media. In this alternate universe biden is the best president ever, a hero, a statesman.

His ear piece probably said leaving in 5 minutes and Joe just took note.

He is checking the amount of time left until his next cup of pudding.
