One of the most poignant moments of the third night of the Republican National Convention was when the families of those killed in the Abbey Gate terrorist attack during Joe Biden’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal took the stage.

This is the same network that took Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough off the air Monday because they were afraid that one of their guests might say something stupid. That they would then make this decision is a little baffling in light of that, but then again, they don’t care about the military and they can’t bear to show the evidence that yes, there have been military deaths during the Biden administration.
