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!”

Oh—didn’t see your post. Perfect!
I’m beyond words to describe the complete incompetence of Biden and his admin. It really is beyond describing. But worse is Congressional Representatives appear to be fine with it all because they’re doing nothing but talking about it.
Cut Joe some slack. He forgot where he was and needed the toilet.
Read somewhere that at formal occasions, one does not wear a watch for exactly this reason. If you look at it it implies you have somewhere else to be, something else to do.
The disgrace extends to the fools who voted for Biden.
