Biden vs. Gold Star Families

The Biden Administration has a huge problem. They have regularly demonized conservatives. If you're pro-life and against abortion, you hate women. If you believe marriage is between a man and a woman, you're a homophobe. If you love Jesus and America, you're a Christian nationalist. If you believe all lives matter, you're a white supremacist.

But Biden is facing an adversary now that's not so easy to demonize. I'm talking about the Gold Star parents of the 13 U.S. military personnel killed last week in Kabul, and the thousands of other parents who lost sons and daughters in our 20-year effort in Afghanistan.

As you know, Biden went to Dover Air Force Base to receive our 13 heroes back to the United States and to comfort their grieving families. It did not go well. Several family members have publicly expressed how disappointed they were by Biden's behavior. 

• He was caught on video repeatedly looking at his watch, as if he had something more important to do. 

• Multiple parents said he was more interested in talking about his son, who died of brain cancer, than he was in talking about their sons and daughters who died trying to clean up the mess he made.

• One mother who confronted Biden says he rolled his eyes at her and walked away, throwing up his arms up in disgust. 

Donald Trump had his own Gold Star family controversy. When Trump announced that he wanted to suspend immigration from countries that were known hotbeds of terrorism and radical Islamic activity, he was attacked by Khizr Khan, the Muslim father of a U.S. soldier who died in Iraq. 

Trump publicly debated Khan in the media for a number of days, and the Washington press corps had a field day setting up the confrontation as "the clueless Trump" fighting a Gold Star father. 

Of course, Trump was just pointing out was that he was serious about protecting our country from terrorists – like those who killed Khan's son. (By the way, Biden just appointed Khan to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom.)

But Biden's problem is so much bigger because it isn't just one father, but dozens of angry Gold Star families.  

Here's an easy action item: Share this report and the emotional statements of these grieving parents with friends, family members and co-workers. You don't need to argue politics. Just ask if they have seen how Biden treated these Gold Star families.
