Understandably, President Joe Biden an examination At the solemn handover ceremony held at Dover Air Force Base on Sunday, he repeatedly watched the 13 American soldiers who were killed at Dover Air Force Base last week. Suicide bombing In Afghanistan, many people are uneasy, including some family members of our fallen heroes.

As my colleague Nick Arama Report Earlier, the respective fathers of two U.S. Marines were killed in an attack last week Tell Sean Hannity On Monday, Biden checked his watch several times during the ceremony, and they found it very offensive.
At the Fox News reporter Jaki Heinrich’s press conference today, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked this question. Here is how the exchange fell:
Heinrich: “Some Venus families have criticized the president’s behavior during the dignified transfer. A Marine’s father said that the president shouldn’t check his watch every time he gets out of a transport box with a national flag on it. A Marine’s sister said that it felt like a fake, scripted apology. Did the president look at his watch, and did he send a message to those who felt offended?”
Psaki: “Well, I want to say to all the family members present, even those who were not present, that he would like to thank their children for the sacrifices they made for the country. He knows directly what it feels like to lose a child, and no one can tell. You do anything or say anything, or no words can fill the hole left.
He won’t talk to me, and I won’t talk in private conversations. Of course, they have the right to convey whatever they want. But I want to tell everyone that the time spent with him in the past two days is very long, and he was deeply affected by the family he had just met in the past two days. He often talks about them and the incredible service and sacrifices of their children in meetings. This will not change their pain, but I still want to convey this. “

what no Said in the clip? First of all, there was no denial, and no attempt to get him to watch or do other things instead of looking at the watch.
Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, there was no apology, no regrets, and nothing at all.
If you are not going to deny it, you should at least apologize for it.Did not happen today, as an apology did not come From Biden, not from Psaki.
As I always say, sometimes what they *not* tell you is very convincing.
To be honest, I hope and pray that this administration’s response to what happened last week will not get worse, but unfortunately, it has already happened.Then again, Psaki accidentally Warn us A few days ago, it could indeed get worse:
“As I pointed out a few minutes ago, any day of loss of military personnel may be the worst day of your presidency, hopefully there will not be more. But at this point in time, we are definitely in the early days of the presidency.”
There is no excuse for lack of sensitivity and respect. not any.These families deserve more than What did they get From this president, but sadly, they will leave more disturbing memories for the rest of their lives. This is how the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Army acted as if he had more urgent things to deal with than to be taken in Afghanistan. The murdered soldier pays tribute Failed exit strategy.
