Joey Jones rips Biden for continuously trying to frame his son's death as a 'Gold Star family situation'
WASHINGTON, DC: Fox News' Joey Jones has attacked US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for their apparent disregard for the families of the 13 service members killed during the chaotic withdrawal from Kabul in 2021.
The journalist went on to further support his assertion, stating that although the president ought to be doing more for the Gold Star families, he always seems to focus on himself and his late son Joseph "Beau" Biden, a veteran who passed away in 2015 from brain cancer.
Joey Jones' stern criticisms of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden
On Monday, September 2, during a Fox News program, Joey Jones launched his criticism of the current Democratic presidential contender with the statement, "She (Kamala Harris) made the problem." He then added, "She and her boss orchestrated what they called the most successful airlift in the history of the world that just happened to kill 13 service members and have yet to even say their name."
Jones continued by describing how two of the Gold Star families had complained to him about the President's behavior. "I've been in a green room at a charity event with two of those families. One of them looked at me and said, 'He came up to us and started talking about his son that died from cancer, when we had just buried ours or had just lost ours. He made it about him'."
Joey Jones claims Joe Biden doesn't understand grief of Gold Star families
Joey Jones continued by explaining why Joe Biden is unable to comprehend the sorrow felt by the relatives of the 13 service members who have died.
"Joe Biden doesn't understand their grief and loss because his son died of cancer in a hospital bed. I give Beau Biden all the honor in the world for serving and and nothing disparaging towards him at all. But Joe Biden has continually tried to turn his son's death into something like a Gold Star family member and that is such an affront to them," he said per the outlet.
Kamala Harris recently criticized Donald Trump's visit to Arlington along with other Democrats
The Vice President decided to address the controversy surrounding former president Donald Trump's visit to Arlington National Cemetery last week, where he was present for the 13 service members' wreath-laying ceremony.
Harris took a shot at the ex-POTUS' visit by tweeting, "....Donald Trump’s team chose to film a video there, resulting in an altercation with cemetery staff. Let me be clear: the former president disrespected sacred ground, all for the sake of a political stunt." However, the Trump campaign and a number of Gold Star relatives refuted those accusations.
As Vice President, I have had the privilege of visiting Arlington National Cemetery several times. It is a solemn place; a place where we come together to honor American heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service of this nation.
— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) August 31, 2024
It is not a place for politics.
And…
Even, Joey Jones came to the rescue of the former president after he was called out by Harris. He stated, "I think If President Trump and his team had to do over again, maybe they leave the official photographers in the van. The original statement was they weren't going to get them out until their families ask them to. "
The Fox News analyst also blasted Harris' hypocrisy by adding, "Kamala Harris saying something about this is like stepping in a dog crap walking into my house and being mad at me that I don't have the potpourri right."
Internet chastises Joe Biden for failing to show respect to soldiers' families
In the video comment section, netizens criticized the US President, saying the families of the victims should have received better treatment from him.
One user wrote, "No one can blame Biden for raising a couple of sons who chose drugs, porn & prostitutes because children make their own decisions. That he would try to rewrite history is nothing new for fathers who have nothing else to latch onto, to invent something to be proud of in his sons. Can't blame Biden for trying, given his lust for position, power, glory, money and recognition. He's attained to much, so why wouldn't he try? Can't blame the poor old guy. Nope, can't blame him at all."
Another said, "Can you imagine having a father like him? terrible father!!"
"Biden's son was definitely NOT Gold Star. Maybe that is why Biden is always so rude and disrespectful to actual God Star families. He is jealous that Beau died a civilian instead of while serving. Biden has actually said that Beau did in Iraq! He of course didn't," remarked one.
"I would hire a Dem. Send them back to the jailhouse. There second home where they belong," said someone else.
