“All I wanted to do was shout out, ‘It’s-two f—ing-thirty, a–hole!’” That was the anguished voice of a grief-stricken father saying what he wanted to say to Joe Biden two years ago this month as he watched Biden check his watch during the dignified transfer ceremony at Dover Air Force Base for 13 American servicemen and women killed in the August 26, 2021 Abbey Gate terrorist bombing at the Kabul Airport during Biden’s chaotic withdrawal from from Afghanistan. The bombing also killed over 150 Afghans seeking to flee the conquering Taliban regime.
Gold Star father Mark Schmitz, father of U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Jared Schmitz, appeared at a roundtable meeting of the families of the fallen hosted by the House Foreign Affairs Committee at the Capitol on Tuesday. NBC News reported Schmitz said, “I identify as a father, a husband, a pissed-off, fed-up American patriot and now, thanks to this administration, a Gold Star dad — a title no one ever wants to have.”
I understand how he feels. I would have felt the exact same way!
Having recently attended a gold star families event, I can say without reservation that this is the overall feeling of military families. Binden’s behavior is beyond reprehensible.
No wonder everyone hates him!
