"Gold Star Mom Accuses Biden of Insensitive Comparison Between Son's Death and Beau's during Afghan Withdrawal"

Gold Star mom Cheryl Rex accused President Biden of callously likening her son's death in the Afghanistan withdrawal to that of his late son Beau, who died of brain cancer. Rex expressed anger and disbelief at Biden's remarks, stating that her son died in combat while Beau died from cancer. Other Gold Star families also criticized the Biden administration's handling of the withdrawal and called for a full congressional investigation into the decisions that led to the chaotic mission. They expressed frustration with the administration's characterization of the evacuation as a success and believed that their loved ones' deaths could have been prevented. Congressman Darrell Issa promised that the families' voices would be heard and that further investigations would be conducted.
