Biden again wrongly suggests son Beau died from Iraq War in call with grieving soldier’s family
NY Post ^ | Feb 1, 2024 | Ryan King

President Biden once again brought up the death of his son Beau while trying to console a grieving military family this week — this time parents of one of the three soldiers killed in a drone strike in Jordan this past weekend.

During the Tuesday conversation, Biden said that Army Spc. Kennedy Sanders, 24, would be posthumously promoted to sergeant.

“Oh wow, that is the best news I’ve heard today, thank you so much,” Oliver-Sanders said as she and her husband began to cry. “You don’t know how much that means to us.”

“Oh, well, I tell you what, it means a lot to me,” Biden replied before adding: “My son spent a year in Iraq; that’s how I lost him.”

Really what is more offputting is the family and how they said it meant so much that he "Joe Biden" called them.

These people will vote Democrat forever...

They just don't get the they are nothing more than useful tools to the Democratic Party.

That’s sad. Everyone know Beau died in the battle of Little Bighorn.

The call was all about him as usual. Joe’s handlers embarrass themselves, letting him run on like that, repeating the same falsehoods over and over again.

"Is a posthumous promotion significant to survivors of a fallen soldier? Is it a prestige honor thing or does it enhance any death benefits to family they might have left behind?"

Did he give the 13 Marines who died at the airport in Afghanistan posthumous promotions? If you do it for one, you have to do it for all. Fair and equal treatment, not special treatment. They all died overseas by Biden's hands.

"I can’t for the life of me figure out why they would even take a call from Biden. It makes them look like fools."

They look like chumps sitting there letting him ramble on about himself.

Joe: “After I lost a big chunk of my family, I had family left, and we just hung on to each other, and I had our babysitter Jill, to comfort me at night, and she held onto my schlong, and it kept me going. Sure beat having to sleep with the dog.”

Biden should have called for Rep. Jackie Walorski to come over and back him up that he wasn’t lying.

Sep 28, 2022 — President Joe Biden mistakenly asked if the late Rep. Jackie Walorski, who died in a car accident last month, was at a White House event.👻

Whats even worse is the parents don’t have sense to figure out that Biden is the one that got their children killed by making them sitting ducks.

Stupid is, as stupid does. If he’s on the ballot in November, they’ll probably vote for him again.
