As Twitchy reported earlier, Rep. Darrell Issa had a forum in California Monday featuring Gold Star families who lost their loved ones in the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. The parents had plenty to say to President Joe Biden, who ended up calling the withdrawal a "success." Thirteen U.S. servicemembers died as the result of a suicide bomber who targeted the airport where people were crowded together in a desperate attempt to get out of the country before the Taliban took over.
I really despise Joe Biden. I don't buy into his "grandfatherly" image at all. He flew off the handle at potential voters who dared question him at campaign stops. He lied consistently throughout his debate with Donald Trump. He lies all the time if he finds it politically beneficial. If he's addressing soldiers who fell ill after working in burn pits overseas, then it turns out his own son Beau died in Iraq, so he knows how it feels. He's lied several times about the circumstances of his son's death. Seriously? You're going to lie about your son dying overseas? That's pretty easy to fact-check, even for Glenn Kessler.
So when consoling one of the Gold Star moms in between checking his watch, Biden reportedly told her he knew how it felt, as his own son was brought home in a flag-draped coffin.
Cheryl Rex, mother of Lance Cpl. Dylan Merola:
"When [Biden] approached me, his words to me were, 'My wife, Jill & I, know how you feel. We lost our son as well and brought him home in a flag draped coffin.'"
"My heart started beating faster & I started shaking, knowing that… pic.twitter.com/lLMRokjEdY

"When [Biden] approached me, his words to me were, 'My wife, Jill & I, know how you feel. We lost our son as well and brought him home in a flag-draped coffin.'"
"My heart started beating faster & I started shaking, knowing that their son died from cancer & they were able to be by his side."
"How could someone be so heartless to say he knew how I felt."
Unbelievable.
At this point, dementia is the best possible excuse for Biden’s behavior. Because if he is mentally competent yet so causally lies in situations like this… that’s astoundingly vile.

Biden has told the lie of his son Beau dying in Iraq so many times it’s just second nature to him to push that lie.

Joe Biden is an absolute disgrace.

At this point he's probably been convinced that this is the truth

Contemptible.

And while I'm on the subject, how about Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton receiving those flag-draped coffins from Benghazi both fully knowing that it was a "protest" over a YouTube video was made up of whole cloth … by them. They too lied to the families to their faces. And the brain trust at The Bulwark is concerned Hunter Biden could become another "Benghazi" — just some meaningless campaign distraction.
Biden, Obama, Clinton … they're all contemptible.

Well, if you don’t believe Joe, ask Corn Pop. He’ll corroborate Joe’s story.
Rubbing salt into a terrible wound ...
Cant the families sue Joe for pain and suffering ???
Thanks for jacking up my blood pressure 1st thing in the morning.
That jackass couldn’t care less about these people and their fallen Hero family members......what a dick.
I never woulda met with that Ahole to begin with....for this very reason.
SMH. These families deserved to be treated much better.
The families didnt meet with him
This happened when the coffins were brought back to the US they were all there as the coffins were unloaded from the plane with Joe bored and looking at his watch continually
Then later the families were herded into a room where Joe was
Stolen valor.
“later the families were herded into a room where Joe was”
Right, and I would have refused to go.
obama came to the Naval Air Station where I worked once.....I left the base 4 hours before he was supposed fly in. I didn’t want to be within 10 miles of that demon.
They were herded by the secret service no time to leave early ...
Hopefully the poor mom is aware that Joseph Biden is a compulsive liar. Especially when it comes to military matters. He makes stuff up.
Beau was a paper pusher attorney who never saw combat. He died of brain cancer years after he was in the Reserves. This is very offensive for his senile father to claim they are a Gold Star family.
I was at Ramstein Air Base in Germany. Clinton came to the base to give a speech, I believe on IFOR, so this was 1995(?). Anyway, they said if you wanted to go see him, there would be buses at the North Side post office parking lot. That was the only way to be in audience—take the bus. They would begin boarding at 1500 for a 1700 speech.
My wife and I got off work at 1630. We always swung by the post office to get our mail before heading home.
We saw the buses at the post office were still there! They had about 10 people on 3 buses!
Nobody wanted to see or hear Slick. This was before cell phones so no selfies, either!
Can Jack Smith take Biden to court for saying something that Biden knew was not true? Asking for a friend.

I don’t know you but your stock just went up 20 points in my humble opinion. Your assessment of the magic negro is 100% on target.
“Gold Star Tater”
The majority of attendees for choom boy was of a certain ethnicity.
The ones from my office that went couldn’t stop talking about how exciting it was that they were going......came back to work the next day acting like they saw the Messiah.....I had a hard time keeping my yap shut...ultimately I just plugged in my earphones and listened to Rush......that helped. 😏
Beau died of cancer - not on the battlefield. that can’t be repeated enough. how Joe bandies his son’s memory about reminds me of Al Gore using his sister’s death: shameless and for political gain. is there a lower life form than a corrupted pol???
