Biden Accused of Delaying Gold Star Families During Kabul Transfer Ceremony

Reports allege President Biden napped on Air Force One, delaying grieving families for hours during the dignified transfer of service members killed in the Afghanistan withdrawal.

Gold Star families claim President Biden delayed the dignified transfer ceremony for three hours while he napped on Air Force One in August 2021.
The ceremony honored 13 U.S. service members killed in the Kabul airport bombing during the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Family members described the delay as disrespectful, adding that Biden also checked his watch multiple times during the ceremony.
The White House has denied the allegations, stating that Biden holds the families and their sacrifices in the highest regard.
The Afghanistan withdrawal remains a contentious moment in Biden's presidency, with critics citing leadership failures and mishandling of the operation.
