As RedState’s Jennifer Van Laar reported on Monday, Gold Star families gathered in Escondido, CA to share their stories as we near the anniversary of the disastrous and completely preventable Afghanistan evacuation.
Christy Shamblin, representing the family of Seargent Nicole Gee, who was famously photographed saving a baby hours before a suicide bomber took her life, spoke forcefully about what she and others had endured.
Parents of U.S. service members killed in a suicide bombing attack at Kabul Airport during the botched Afghanistan withdrawal spoke at a town hall in Escondido, CA on Monday morning that was hosted by Rep. Darrel Issa (R-CA). Nearly two years after the horrific attack, families haven’t received answers to many questions about the attack and there’s been no accountability for the failures that led to what Gold Star Mother Christy Shamblin calls the murder of her daughter and 11 others.
Other mothers took the stage to speak as well, including Cherly Rex, whose son Lance Corporal Dylan Merola was also killed in the suicide bombing. What followed was a heartbreaking, and sometimes infuriating tale of her interaction with President Joe Biden following the tragic events of that day.
Not surprising given how Biden was checking his watch when their remains were returned instead of standing at attention. Despicable.
Joe iden we all KNOW has dementia or Alzheimer’s but that is not an excuse. If the woke party & left had not voted for him he would not be in office. When he was a senator his wife & little girl were killed in an auto accident he didn’t bat an eye he was already seeing Dr Jill. He tries to get sympathy for his life rather than giving sympathy, compassion to others in need it happens all the time. He tries to relate to every situation personally it will always be about HIM. He displays venom & anger when questioned, he wanted the job just shut up Joe. He displayed no love for the 7th grandchild till made to do so. His own daughter wrote a book about him coming into the bathroom when she was little read it. He is crude, selfish, arrogant & a poor excuse as a human being and Hunter is just like him. He needs to be impeached now and live in the Ukraine where he made $ deals years ago. This time vote for anyone but Joe or Kamala.
