Joe Biden Can’t Use Beau To Avoid Answering For American Marines’ Deaths
It's easier to manufacture relatability than it is to take responsibility.

The families of 13 brave young men and women are just a few moments into a grieving process that will last the rest of their days, after an ISIS-K suicide bomber stole the lives of these American service members and 170 civilians in Afghanistan last week. On Sunday, President Joe Biden met with the families of these fallen heroes at Dover Air Force Base as flag-draped caskets descended from the plane where their beaming children in uniform should have been.
Those meetings reportedly didn’t go very well. Although the family of Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Rylee McCollum — a young man just 20 years old who died in Kabul last week — went to Delaware, his two sisters and father left the room before the president came in. They didn’t want to talk to the man they blamed for their brother and son’s death.
“You can’t f-ck up as bad as he did and say you’re sorry,” one sister said of Biden, adding that his empty condolences represented a “total disregard to the loss of our Marine.” “This did not need to happen, and every life is on his hands.” McCollum’s grieving mother also blamed “feckless, dementia-ridden piece of crap” Biden for her son’s death.
Only McCollum’s wife stayed, along with the life inside her: the couple’s unborn child who is due at the end of September and who will never know his or her brave daddy. The meeting was “scripted and shallow, a conversation that lasted only a couple of minutes,” the Washington Post reported.
