Wednesday night at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the families of service members who were killed during Joe Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan delivered devastating remarks about the current president, his actions during and after the withdrawal, and his refusal to even acknowledge their fallen loved ones.
Multiple members spoke during the segment, but all of the remarks were so powerful that multiple media outlets and pundits referred to the moment as “powerful” and “devastating” for Joe Biden.
Incredibly powerful moment as the families of the 13 American service members who died at Abbey Gate in Afghanistan take the stage at the RNC.
They do something that Joe Biden has never done since his incompetence got their children killed: Say their names.

Amazing moment as names of 13 soldiers killed at Abbey gate read out loud by Gold Star family. Crowd repeats each name in unison. #chills

This presentation by the families of the soldiers who died in Afghanistan is brutal for Biden. #RNC

The speech was part of the RNC’s Wednesday night theme, which was centered around safety. It was indeed a powerful moment for the Republican nominee and a brutal one for Biden.
Not to be outdone, MSNBC cut away from the RNC just as the Gold Star families took the stage. Instead, they had the DNC Chairman on, apparently cracking jokes during the speech.
MSDNC cut away from the RNC convention just as Gold Star families of the 13 heroes killed in Biden’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal were speaking of Biden’s abject failure to lead.
Instead, they had DNC Chair Jaime Harrison on — cracking jokes.
