During a recent event in Escondido, California — hosted by Mayor Dane White and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) — relatives of the service members who were killed during Joe Biden’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal spoke out about their experience, many of them trashing the Biden Administration.
From The Daily Wire:
Issa introduced the event, billed as the Afghanistan Gold Star Families Public Forum, saying that while they had officially allotted five minutes for each family member who wanted to speak, no one was going to enforce time limits as long as the families had something to share.

Issa also made it clear that the ultimate goal was to make sure that such a tragedy never happened again: “Did they have to die? Could we have done something different? … I only apologize that we didn’t do it sooner.”
Then the family members began to speak, and they had little if anything positive to say about Biden and the military leaders who had been a part of the decision-making process during the troop drawdown and withdrawal — and most were absolutely furious that the administration had then insisted the withdrawal had been a “success.”
SSG Taylor Hoover’s mother was among those who spoke, and she said that the blame for her son’s death rested on Biden, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and others. “Incompetent, cowards, evil,” she said.
