Gold Star families rip Biden’s remarks about 13 killed in Afghan withdrawal: ‘No idea what he’s saying’
SUMMARY
Gold Star families are voicing their disapproval over President Biden's recent remarks at the United Nations General Assembly, where he briefly acknowledged the 13 service members killed during the chaotic 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan. Families like Steve Nikoui, whose son Kareem was among the fallen, accused Biden of insincerity. Nikoui stated, "He thinks of them only because they are the casualties of his reckless decisions and policies." Other parents, such as Darin Hoover, who lost his son, Marine Staff Sgt. Taylor Hoover, echoed this sentiment, accusing Biden of trying to cover up his involvement in the disastrous withdrawal, adding, "He has blood on his hands, and we WILL NOT FORGET, EVER." While some families appreciated the belated acknowledgment, they stressed that accountability is still missing. The families continue to demand answers, accusing the Biden administration of failing to take responsibility for the disastrous exit strategy.
