President Biden couldn’t even respect the time of the families who lost their children in the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal he orchestrated. Our military families deserve better. https://t.co/lHhwH1lgfL
Video Transcript AI Summary
Biden checked his watch multiple times during the ramp ceremony for 13 fallen service members, which many view as disrespectful. This ceremony is a solemn occasion for families, and the act of checking his watch suggested a lack of regard for the gravity of the moment. Critics argue that he should prioritize honoring those who served and sacrificed their lives for the country. Comparisons were made to previous presidents, with Trump emphasizing the importance of being present for families during such ceremonies, while Biden's demeanor appeared more like a chore than a meaningful tribute to the sacrifices made by service members.

Speaker 0: Biden checked his watch on every last one of them going off that plane. I don't know where he had to be or what was going on, but he checked his watch every single time.
Speaker 1: It's more than just looking at your watch. It's looking the other way.
Speaker 2: There is no more unique, even almost sacred ceremony than a a ramp ceremony. I was part of some overseas where we sent bodies back home. And it's often senior leaders, including president Biden, who are part of ramp ceremonies receiving those parish service members back at Dover. There is no more special time for a soldier's family than when he finally comes home. And those those soldiers, the those marines didn't come home alive.
And President Biden was checking his watch probably because he had so many caskets to receive. He had 13 caskets to receive, which happened at the height of the Iraq war in times, but it had been a while since we had a ramp ceremony with over 13 caskets to come off the plane. He didn't have time for them even though the nature of that withdrawal was his order, even though there is no other decision he makes that puts Americans in harm's way than those relating to military affairs overseas, he didn't have time for them. And that's what Americans should see is that president Biden doesn't have time for his most solemn duty to the men and women who put their lives on the line.
Speaker 3: It's disgusting to me, I think. It's very disrespectful. You know, these are Americans that put their hand up and pledged to this country, you know, to serve, to protect. And is there something more important happening? These people put their lives on the line for our freedoms that we have here, and he couldn't even give the time of day, it seemed like.
It it's very appalling.
Speaker 4: Biden looking at his watch, like, 4 or 5 times as the bodies came off the plane. That was a terrible scene. That was a terrible vision for people.
Speaker 1: I've been over during dignified transfers when my own constituents were killed in Afghanistan. I was there with president Trump. It was a rainy night, and I remember president Trump saying to me, Matt, we have to be here because we have to show the country the cost of these wars. We have to show the country the sacrifice. President Trump understood the value of of, conveying pain and conveying the type of ultimate sacrifice people make.
And he understood how personal that was and he spent hours with family members there. He'd cut short political rallies and activities to be there. It was it was essential to him. President Obama didn't really like to go to Dover. It wasn't something that was a priority to him.
And with president Biden, it seems to be more of a chore than something very meaningful and very significant to reflect on what it costs to maintain a free and prosperous and forward leaning nation.
