President Joe Biden should stop invoking his late son Beau Biden as a way of deflecting criticism of his handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, a former speechwriter for George W. Bush wrote.

‘Mr. Biden is not a Gold Star father and should stop playing one on TV,’ William McGurn wrote last week in an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal.

McGurn wrote that Beau Biden was deployed to Iraq and worked as a military lawyer. Beau died of brain cancer that the president believes was caused by exposure to toxic chemicals at burn pits in Iraq.

It is evident that people are sick and tired of hearing about Beau. Yes, it is a tragedy that he lost his son, but to interject his loss into this situation is unwarranted, and Beau didn't lose his life in war. It appears he is using the death of his son to garner sympathy for his failures; something that isn't welcome. Using the loss of his son to score some points is about as despicable as them propping Joe up because he has dementia and expecting people to feel sorry for him and forgive his failures.  It's not working!

It's surprising the JAG office was located over a burn pit.

Democrats trying to make political hay off the the dead, even in the most ghoulish manner, is certainly nothing new.  Paul Wellstones death was blamed on Republicans despite NO evidence, democrats just wanted to milk A POLITICAL ADVANTAGE OUT OF IT.  Biden has the same, using his dead son, utter political animal conscience, lack of real conscience.
