| − | A Gold Star mother who lost her son in Biden's botched evacuation issued a statement:
| + | |
| | + | ''Washington Post'' reporter Ashley Parker read asked Psaki about a quote from Roice McCollum, the sister of Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Rylee McCollum, who was killed in the regime's hasty and inept Afghan evacuation. An interaction between Biden and the family of Cpl. McCollum ended with all but Roice walking out on the “scripted and shallow” Biden. According to the ''WaPo'' article, McCollum’s sister stated that “when it came time to meet with the president, they left the room, because she said they did not want to speak with the man they held responsible for McCollum’s death.” Biden’s brief and pre-rehearsed conversation was described as showing complete “total disregard to the loss of our Marine” according to Roice, who added, “You can’t f**k up as bad as he did and say you’re sorry. This did not need to happen, and every life is on his hands.”<ref>https://nationalfile.com/you-cant-fk-up-as-bad-as-he-did-and-say-youre-sorry-gold-star-family-walks-out-on-meeting-with-biden/</ref> Parker asked, |

| | + | Psaki dodged the question with a scripted and shallow response. Kathy McCollum, Rylee’s mother, called into a radio show and ripped Biden as a “feckless, dementia-ridden piece of crap” after she learned of her son’s death: |

| | + | McCollum’s pregnant widow felt Biden showed “total disregard to the loss of our Marine — our brother, son, husband, and father” when Biden spoke to her. Roice said “This did not need to happen, and every life is on his hands, the thousands of Afghans who will suffer and be tortured is a direct result of his incompetence.” |

| | + | Family members of the US Marines killed in the suicide terror attack at the Kabul airport slammed Biden for his disrespectful behavior at the dignified transfer ceremony where the bodies were received. The father of Marine Lance Cpl. Jared Schmitz told the ''Washington Post'' of an outburst that occurred toward the end of the ceremony when one woman allegedly shouted at Biden, “I hope you burn in [[hell]]! That was my brother!” Schmitz added that Biden "talked a bit more about his own son [Beau Biden] than he did my son, and that didn’t sit well with me. When he just kept talking about his son so much, it was just — my interest was lost in that. I was more focused on my own son than what happened with him and his son. I’m not trying to insult the president, but it just didn’t seem that appropriate to spend that much time on his own son.” Schmitz took out a photo of his own son, |
| | + | {{quotebox-float|"I said, ‘Don’t you ever forget that name. Don’t you ever forget that face. Don’t you ever forget the names of the other 12. And take some time to learn their stories."}} |
| | + | Schmitz told [[St. Louis]] radio station KMOX to “be afraid of our leadership, or lack thereof. Pray every day for the soldiers that are putting their lives at risk and doing what they love, which is protecting all of us. I think they’re the only ones that we can honestly say have our backs.” |
| | + | |
| | + | Every time a casket was unloaded, Biden looked at his watch. “I actually leaned into my son’s mother’s ear and I said, ‘I swear to God, if he checks his watch one more time …’,” Schmitz recalled, “and that was only probably four times in. I couldn’t look at him anymore after that, just considering, especially, the time and why we were there. I found it to be the most disrespectful thing I’ve ever seen.” Hoover said he and his family declined to meet with Biden. “We said, ‘Absolutely not.’ We didn’t want to deal with him. We didn’t want — we didn’t want him anywhere near us. We as a family decided that was the way it was going to be.” |

| | + | Psaki did not deny that Biden was checking the time when she was asked by Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich, “Was the president looking at his watch and does he have a message to those people who felt that they were offended?”<ref>https://nypost.com/2021/08/31/biden-blasted-by-gold-star-dads-darin-hoover-mark-schmitz-for-checking-watch-during-ceremony/</ref> |
