In the summer of 2021, after the tragic and botched withdrawal from Afghanistan was obviously anything but a "success," President Biden said that's exactly what it was:

Brandon's lips were moving ... so, obviously, he was lying, yet again.
That was a huge slap in the face to the families of the servicemembers lost that day, but it got even worse after that.
Today Rep. Darrell Issa had a forum in California featuring Gold Star Families:
Darrell Issa (@DarrellIssa) ~ I'm convening a public hearing on the Afghanistan withdrawal deaths. For almost two years, the Gold Star Families of the fallen in Afghanistan have waited for answers and accountability for the loss of their loved ones – and they have waited long enough.

Meara (@MillennialOther) ~ This is hard to watch, but it’s important to hear directly from the loved ones of the 13 brave servicemembers murdered during the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal b/c the Biden admin wanted a talking point ahead of the 20th anniversary of 9/11.

Matthew Foldi (@MatthewFoldi) ~ RIGHT NOW: I am in Escondido where Mayor @Dwhite1904 is hosting #C48’s @repdarrellissa for an Afghanistan Gold Star Families Public Forum, where family members of those killed during Biden’s chaotic withdrawal are speaking jointly for the first time.

It's safe to assume that NONE of this will be shown on any of the network nightly newscasts:
Hannah Williams (@Hannah0923CW) ~ "I will fight until my last breath to get to the truth" - Coral Briseno, mother of fallen Marine Cpl. Humberto Sanchez
"We deserve the truth" - Alicia Lopez, mother of fallen Marine Cpl. Hunter Lopez
Listening to the Gold Star families demand answers today was heart-breaking.

Kayleigh McEnany spots predictable media disinterest in Gold Star Families hammering Biden admin

Gold Star Families shared their maddening and heartbreaking stories at a forum in California today about the lies they were told and how they were treated following the Biden administration's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. The testimony was powerful.
...
Kayleigh McEnany (@kayleighmcenany) ~ The testimony of these Gold Star families who lost children in the tragic Afghanistan exit is powerful, emotional, and incredibly important.
MSNBC & CNN should have covered this testimony. (The several times I checked, they were not).
Every American should see it.
Politcswatch (@Politcswatch) ~ Every station should have been covering it, but with exception of Fox News, none of the other stations were showing it at all.
President Biden's approval is already circling the drain but just imagine how bad it would be if he didn't have all the water carriers in the media doing their best to cover for this administration's numerous disasters.
