A man identified as Steve Nikoui, the father of Marine Lance Col. Kareem Nikoui who was killed in the August 21, 2021 terrorist attack on Abbey Gate at the Kabul Airport during Joe Biden’s retreat from Afghanistan that killed thirteen U.S. servicemembers and about 170 Afghan civilians trying to flee the triumphant Taliban, was arrested and put in handcuffs by security at the Capitol Thursday night after he heckled Biden about the attack during the State of the Union address. Listeners heard Nikoui call out “United States Marines!” and “Abbey Gate!” among other things in the brief outburst. Nikoui was reportedly charged with a misdemeanor.
A man was escorted out of the House chamber amid Biden’s speech after standing up and yelling at the president. The man was sitting in the gallery of the chamber. At one point he yelled, “United States Marines.” #SOTU2024

I am honored to have Steve Nikoui as my guest to #SOTU. He is the father of LCpl.

Foldi also posted an outraged reaction sent to him by Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI), a former Navy SEAL, ““If Gold Star families are being arrested and a member of congress [@JamaalBowmanNY] was not arrested for committing a felony, that’s not right.” #WI03’s @derrickvanorden to me on this”

Rep. Mast posted his approval of his guest’s outburst, “For the last three SOTU speeches, Joe Biden REFUSED to say the names of the 13 U.S. servicemembers who were killed by his disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. I couldn’t support this effort more. Say their names!”

The families of the fallen do not feel they have been treated fairly by Biden. On Wednesday, Christy Shamblin, the mother-in-law of Marine Sgt. Nicole Gee who was also killed in the Abbey Gate attack, appeared on CNN, shocking host Abby D. Phillip by telling her Biden has not spoken to her family at all and that the White House has ignored their pleas.
CNN anchor left STUNNED when gold star mom says that Biden has NEVER reached out to her family about her daughter-in-law's death.
CNN: "He's often called the 'Consoler in Chief.' He does talk to families who've lost loved ones…Have you experienced that from him?"

“Second Battalion First Marines !”
Gentlemen... This man is NOT your legitimate C&C .
Refuse any orders to build , or guard , any port construction ( for Hamas) in Gaza .
Abby Gate Part 2 will result.
Tell him to go pound sand ...
i saw news reports that there was a warning that that gate was going to get hit , and they even knew who and where they were on their way to atrack
and milley and joe would not give the go ahead to take them out
im glad this man stood up and called biden out.
and after ward, when they caught hell for our seevice members deaths,,,
they hellstiked some poor dude and his kids in his golf cart , not the known terrorist perps that actually did it
these people need a military tribunal and blindfolds.
I watched a video taken by an individual of them shooting down all the people left behind on the runway. It was horrible beyond description.
The Biden family and most of Congress should have been the ones in handcuffs and tossed under the prison.
That terrorist Bomber didn’t murder those troops.Joe Biden did with his act of Cowardice that created the Afghanistan disaster .
He continues his murder spree every day to to the thousands of people who are being poisons by fentanyl.
Makes me wonder how much money the Biden crime family is getting from the drug cartels.
Of course he was. That is what tyrants do. Biden is a disgrace.
Ya know biden NEVER called these parents to thank their CHILD for their sacrifice.
Instead of throwing this father in jail biden should visit him and LISTEN to this guy for 1/2 hour. (Of course biden only gets on the phone is he is getting money).
Maybe Trump will visit this father. Just LISTEN to him. he is in PAIN. If biden throws him in jail Trump should use that as an ad to say-THIS is what joey wants to do to any and all who dare to speak their mind. I remember at a congressional hearing a dem congressman said “we are going to get anyone who even KNOWS Trump or worked for him and throw them in jail”. (or something like that). Maybe I can find the link.
Found it. Rep Steve Cohen said, “anyone who gets involved with Trump will be damaged”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZcBQ1KAFP4 look at 4:56. He was foaming at the mouth re Durham.
Those soulless DC bastards will charge him. Wait and see. Bastards. Soulless. Godless. Evil.
I'm sure they were preparing to throw him in the Capitol gulag with the J6 people to rot, until the news reported that he was a Gold Star father. Had to hold off on that, ya'know - bad optics.
I am starting to wonder if the Uni Party wants a Civil War to erupt. It’s the only tactic they have left to stop Trump.
We don’t have to go to war with these people. VOTE! IF EVERYONE VOTES INSTEAD OF STAYING AT HOME, WE WIN. THEN WE CAN DELIVER THIS COUNTRY FROM THE PURE EVIL DESTROYING OUR BELOVED COUNTRY.
That’s not fair. He also cares about genderbenders.
Oh no....☹️😞🥺😦😔
Anarcho-tyranny by design.
Nikoui was reportedly charged with a misdemeanor.
" Give me liberty or give me death" has no meaning if you dont really mean it.
Charged him with a misdemeanor, eh?
That’s not good...
Obstruction of an official proceeding is garnering pretty heavy sentences, of late.
This dude may need a Go-Fund-Me to cover legal bills.
45% of the American population will vote for the Democrat even if it was Adolf Hitler or Joseph Stalin.
Maybe 5% of the vote is up for grabs. That's our ceiling. We can't do better than 50% at this point (assuming the election will be fair).
Fortunately, we have a better chance due to how the EC is set up.
