‘We want accountability. We want those answers, and we’re not getting them,’ says bereaved father of fallen service member killed during Biden’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal.
A Gold Star father slammed Joe Biden heading into Memorial Day weekend, saying the senile Democrat president’s team hasn’t reached out despite his son dying during the administration’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.
Speaking to Newsmax TV on Friday, the father of fallen service member Staff Sgt. Darin Taylor Hoover Jr., Darin Hoover Sr., requested Americans take a moment to salute the fallen, and noted the Biden team has “put Afghanistan in the rearview mirror.”
Here’s a transcript of the interview, courtesy of Breitbart:
Hoover said, “I know it’s a three-day weekend and everybody’s going to be out, kind of the first weekend of summer, but I just ask that people take a minute, stop and think about what all these men and women heroes who have sacrificed their lives for our freedoms and remember and thank them for it in their own way.”
After the discussion turned to Biden, Hoover stated, “[W]e haven’t heard a word from him. They have put Afghanistan in the rearview mirror. And none of us have been talked to, none of — they haven’t reached out period. And it’s time to bring this back around and answer those questions. We want accountability. We want those answers, and we’re not getting them. On a weekend like this, with the anniversary coming up, too, something needs to be done. They need to step up and do what needs to be done in order to get us those answers, and frankly, the country is owed those answers. All of the veterans that are from that 20-year war, all of the ones that we lost in that 20-year war deserve better than what we’ve gotten, and he needs to step away and leave the White House.”
