President Biden blasted after marking deaths of 13 US servicemembers while relaxing on the beach

President Joe Biden was raked over the coals after being credited with mourning the loss of American lives on the third anniversary of the attack at the Kabul airport.

Biden issued a statement about the tragic deaths of 13 U.S. service members who were killed in Afghanistan as his administration botched the withdrawal process in 2021. The 81-year-old lame-duck president delivered no public remarks, did not speak in a pre-recorded video, and, as reported, remained holed up in his Delaware beach home as the anniversary dawned Monday.

“These 13 Americans—and the many more that were wounded—were patriots in the highest sense. Some were born the year the war in Afghanistan started. Some were on their second or third tour. But all raised their hand to serve a cause greater than themselves—risking their own safety for the safety of their fellow Americans, Allies, and Afghan partners,” Biden said in a statement issued by the White House on Monday.

“Today, and every day, we honor our fallen,” Biden’s statement read, naming each of the service members killed.

“They embodied the very best of who we are as a nation: brave, committed, selfless. And we owe them and their families a sacred debt we will never be able to fully repay, but will never cease working to fulfill,” he added.

Vice President Harris also issued a statement as she continues her whirlwind tour of “joy” to sell American voters on her presidential campaign. Meanwhile, her opponent, former President Donald Trump showed what real honor was by participating in a wreath ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.

Responding to a post promoting an article by The Hill titled, “Biden mourns US service members killed in Kabul airport attack 3 years ago,” X users ripped into Biden and his administration.
