Politics aside, facts and data aside, the one thing we expect from our leaders is… humanity. Someone who has a duty so important as being a member of Congress, or the president, needs to show that they care about the people they are serving.
Donald Trump had this in spades. He was quick to be by a grieving Americans’ side. And when he said he was ready to help–he meant it.
The same cannot be said about Biden. Repeatedly he has shown shocking callousness and cruelty in the face of tragedy. He dismissed the people who fell from an airplane, due to his botched evacuation of Afghanistan. But when he went to visit the victims of an attack he was largely responsible for, what he said and did was shocking.
Gold Star mother Cheryl Rex and wounded Marine SGT Tyler Vargas-Andrews told very similar stories about President Joe Biden — and neither were impressed by his apparent need to make every conversation about himself and his late son Beau Biden…
“When Joe Biden, our elected president, came into the room — when he approached me — his words to me were, ‘My wife, Jill and I, know how you feel. We lost our son as well and brought him home in a flag-draped coffin,’” she recalled.
“My heart started beating faster, and I started shaking, knowing that their son died from cancer and that they were able to be by his side,” she added. “Also wondering how someone could honestly … sorry … be so heartless to say he knew how I felt a little over 24 hours in learning of my son’s death.” [Source: Daily Wire]

This is pretty unbelievable. Joe Biden is responsible for the lives of 13 servicemen who died in an attack during his botched Afghanistan withdrawal. Others were injured, including former Marine Sgt. Tyler Vargas-Andrews.
The attack left him without his right arm. While he was recovering in the hospital, Joe and Jill Biden arrived. But they did not provide anything close to sympathy. Instead, Biden rambled on about his late son Beau, who had served in the military.
It appears Biden uses Beau as a prop to claim he’s experienced the same loss as wounded veterans or Gold Star parents. But although Beau did serve, he died of cancer, not in combat. Biden’s attempts at injecting himself into the conversation, before grieving soldiers and parents, is not taken kindly.
Cheryl Rex lost her son, thanks to Biden’s incompetence. Yet the man had the nerve to claim he “brought [Beau] home in a flag-draped coffin.” That is a factual lie. Beau did not die during war. Biden was able to be by his son’s side at his death. Whereas, Rex and many other parents, had to be told their children had died.
Rex called Biden “heartless” for apparently ignoring her pain and making the visit all about himself. But we shouldn’t be all that surprised, no matter how much this disgusts us. Biden has a long history of showing a lack of care or concern for the people he supposedly serves.
After all, many believe this man used his official position to get rich and powerful. Why would he care about us little people?
