On Sunday, President Biden spat in the faces of the grieving Gold Star families whose loved ones, service members were killed by a suicide bomb at the Kabul airport last week. As their bodies were being tended to during the dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base, Biden repeatedly looked down at his watch as if he was counting the minutes until the inconvenient photo op was over. Meanwhile, the liberal broadcast networks refused to cover his blatant disrespect and instead chose to tout his presence.
“A solemn heartbreaking day at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, Sunday President Biden attending the dignified transfer of the flag-draped remains of 13 U.S. service members killed in the suicide attack at Kabul airport while helping evacuate more than 100,000 Afghan allies and American citizens,” reported ABC chief global affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz on Good Morning America on Monday.
Over on NBC’s Today, also on Monday, correspondent Erin McLaughlin claimed: “President Biden and the First Lady paid respects to the fallen at Dover Air Force Base over the weekend.”
Fact check: Checking your watch is not paying your respects.
It's true. Joe Biden checked his watch during the dignified transfer of the servicemembers killing in Afghanistan at the airport. You can see him jerk his left hand to pull the watch out from under his sleeve, then look down at it. pic.twitter.com/M3QVzJbTIm

Leading up to the ceremony, there were reports that some of the families didn’t want Biden to attend at all given his role in their deaths. And during Monday’s Hannity, on Fox News Channel, Sean Hannity spoke with the fathers of two of the fallen Marines as they shared how disgusted they were by Biden’s actions during the event.
Darin Hoover, the father of Staff Sargent Darin Hoover Jr., explained that he and his wife “didn’t want to deal with him … we didn’t want him anywhere near us.” And while Biden was caught on camera checking his watch at least one time, Hoover said it happened 13 times:In reference to the checking of his watch, that didn’t happen just once. That happened on every single one that came out of that airplane. It happened on every single one of them. They would release the salute and he looked down his watch on every last one, all 13, he looked down at his watch.
After Hoover, Mark Schmitz, the father of Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz, told Hannity about how livid he was witnessing Biden’s disrespect for his son:
HANNITY: Mark, you want to comment on the watch incident? Did you notice the same thing?
SCHMITZ: Yes, I did. 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, and that was only probably four times in, I couldn’t — I couldn’t look at him anymore after that, just considering especially the time and why we were there. It was — I found to be the most disrespectful thing I’ve ever seen.He also recounted how Biden made the event all about his own son, Beau.
It would have been golden if one of those grieving parents or loved ones had asked idiot Biden what was so special about his watch, just so he would know they ALL noticed his irreverence. One excuse is that he wears a Rosery on his left wrist for his son, Beau (who is, apparently, the MOST tragic death of all), but I see no Rosery.
The guy is nothing. Empty. A void.
YOU’RE the one exploiting those who died covering the evacuation and the grief of their families.
Really? What if Trump had looked at his watch during such a ceremony? Hell, you goddamn liars had to actually MAKE UP an accusation that Trump disrespected veterans and war dead to fertilize your hate and you exploited that for months! How about addressing this dead-behind-the-eyes liar checking his watch as the caskets of the soldiers HE MURDERED are carried past him? Cmon, man! Don’t continue to be a chicken shit… address the issue!
Do you finally understand you’re own level of projection and what it’s doing to the country?
You’ve gone places you shouldn’t have gone: exaggerating or just lying about what Trump said or did (redacted secretly on a back page in the NYTs), so now it’s Conservatives turn.
That’s what you’ve created.
Biden will be blamed…for everything. Just like you did to Trump.
It’s a MAD ideology that idiots like you don’t understand.
Trump is an autocrat? Now Biden is an autocrat. Trump is a racist? Now Biden is a racist.
It’s idiocy.
What people like you need to do is go home and shut the f*ck up. Get a hobby and do something constructive.
You’re unfulfilled life is killing other people, literally.
He check his watch more than 13 times. A pathetic piece of human excrement.
His colostomy bag needs to be emptied every few hours because he is so full of shit.
Biden Calls His Disastrous Withdrawal from Afghanistan that Resulted in 13 Dead US Service Members and Stranded Americans an “Extraordinary Success”
And, more stories about bo his brain dead son.
Why on earth would he talk to family member at Dover abut bo.
No one gives a fuck about bo. He was a jag officer in Bosnia. Never saw combat. Another biden piece of shit just like the old man.
Maybe biden can get Pope Francis to beatify bo since joe is such a good catholic
Joe Biden Shuffles Away From Podium, Refuses to Answer Questions After Delivering Unhinged Speech on Afghanistan Departure
Today’s speech had Joe repeating retreaded lies, half-truths, straw men and false dilemmas each more than three or four times.
His handlers’ hopes were that Joe could take a winning control of “the narrative,” but that failed miserably.
That failure means that Hillary’s old trope will now become standard: That’s OLD NEWS, we’ve MovedOn.
Come on, man! Let’s talk about covid, anti-vaxxers and those horrible white supremacist terrorists who all have the temerity to disagree with Joe.
I fear the “Tollybonn” will not let this fade away, though like a solid year of BLM/ANTIFA violence, the propaganda media may be able to hide the truth from the American people.
Who gives an address to the nation at 2:15pm? Sundowner dilemma.
