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.

Beau Biden was, iirc, the Atty General of Delaware when he died. It was long after his military service and it was a big news story, it’s not really something that a person can lie about. In Biden’s demented mind he probably remembers the coffin being flag-draped at the funeral, but you really would think that he would remember WHEN and HOW his own son died. And if he does not he really is demonstrably unfit for office at any level.
It’s not only insulting to this woman and others like her, it’s insulting to Beau himself, as his father erases years of his life.
But this entire family seems to care nothing for one another, they are really a sick group.
They coulda faked a covid induced heart attack
Sick self centered inherently sadistic s.o.b.
It’s not another “ about MY son “
It’s about THEIR sons.

Joe was a sociopath long before dementia set in. There is no causal relationship here. Dude’s a bad seed, just like his son, the porn star.
For which we can thank the voters of Delaware for enabling!
It could be true - it might be another son that he’s just now acknowledging.
NUHJCFTU
Barack Obama
Funny that if you watch abc,cbs,fox,nbc.. I could go on but if you watch those stations he is doing just fine. And Trump is terrible. I can’t believe how many people either hate Trump so bad or believe the lies the media is feeding them. And all these reporters telling lies like this have to live and raise their kids in the same America they are helping to create. I wonder what the % is that would actually vote for biden or that actually voted for biden in 2020. There was over 20+ million more votes for 2020 President than there was in 2016. Every cycle there is only about 3 or 5 million more than the previous cycle. Nobody mentioned it, I guess they will say it’s because the mail in made it easier to vote. Lol.
There are no reporters, only propagandists.
Agreed. It’s just sad there is no more reporters wanting the people to know the truth. You would think there would be whistle blower reporters everywhere. I was disgusted when I watched fox news switch on election night. It was so obvious to watch them try to prepare or put the idea out in peoples mind that Trump was going to lose. Just playing the seed in Republicans heads. Most saw through it.
Old Joe is so evil
This breaks my heart for these wonderful parents
Yep- When we compare Trump’s family to bidens’ it’s no contest- Trump’s is by far the much classier= more caring-
Yes, and, to me, that was strongly demonstrated by the checking of his watch during the ceremony of bringing the caskets off the plane. I was livid when I saw that -- like this demented a-hole has something better to do.
Yes, and more capable and productive as individuals. They work.
Beau never was in combat? So, Biden saying Beau got cancer while in service (burn pit?) is a flat out lie.
LOL for his fingers.
