Gold Star mom claims Biden callously likened her son’s death during disastrous Afghan withdrawal to Beau’s

WASHINGTON – Families of the 13 US service members who were killed in an ISIS suicide bombing during the Biden administration’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan lined up Monday to slam the White House — with one Gold Star mom accusing the president of callously likening her son’s death to that of his late son Beau.

Cheryl Rex, whose son Marine Lance Cpl. Dylan Merola died in the Aug. 26, 2021, bombing at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, said she became enraged at Biden’s mawkish sentiment, knowing full well that Beau Biden died of brain cancer on US soil.

“His words to me were, ‘My wife, Jill, and I know how you feel. We lost our son as well and brought him home in a flag-draped coffin,'” Rex recounted during a forum convened in Escondido, Calif. by local Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.). “My heart started beating faster and I started shaking, knowing that their son died from cancer and they were able to be by his side.”

Biden has a history of claiming his son “died in Iraq.”

In fact, Beau passed away in May 2015 at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., at the age of 46 – six years after he came home from a yearlong deployment to Iraq in September 2009.

The president has said he believes Beau developed the brain cancer that killed him from exposure to toxic burn pits during his deployment.

The only time I break language rule at FR is to righteously, and correctly say Joe Biden is a shitbag

Joe Shitbag Biden.

Not sorry about it. I did not think it was possible to hate anyone more than the Wife of Monica Lewinsky’s Boyfriend. But here I am.

Beau probably developed the brain cancer from exposure to Ol' Rumpleforeskin in the shower when he was a pre-teen.

“resident Huggies is not above using his son’s death for personal benefit.”

And I believe that is the definition of “ stolen valor”.

What a fraud. There is NO known cause of Glioblastoma, the most common, deadliest and highly researched form of brain cancer. Only 1% survive beyond two years.

Instead of giving factual information about Glioblastoma, Joe chose to blame the US military with garbage about “burn pits”, simply because he could politically capitalize from his sons “sacrifice”.

God bless you, that is a devastating loss. I have had two relatives and a good friend die of this terrible cancer and understand your pain. My beloved niece was under the care of Dr.Keith Black, a renowned neurosurgeon at Cedars-Sinai, she also had all the treatments available at the time and there was just no hope from the beginning. After two resections, she said enough.

My heart goes out to you. It’s a devestating diagnosis.
Watching what he went thru made me decide that given a similar diagnosis, I would never let Dr’s do that to me. The initial surgery did help relieve pain & symptoms, but the radiation & chemo were useless, expensive and made his remaining life miserable.

I hear you! That’s one of the nicer things I call the old traitor.
After his son died, Joe took over the Beau Biden Cancer Initiative. Not one cent went to research or helping one cancer patient but paid big salaries to people who are now in his regime.
Joe Biden uses people including his own children.

After his wife and daughter were killed in a car accident, he dragged in a camera crew for a photo op to be sworn in the Senate, into his suffering little boys hospital room.

For his next elections he simply lied about the accident blaming the innocent man as being drunk for the sympathy vote..proven another lie.

Joe Biden is no more than a pimp, selling out his kids and Lady Liberty to the highest bidding foreign oligarch.

Somewhere along their lives, the Bidens mistook the word “shame” for “sham”. I can’t express the hatred I have for those despicable creatures.
