Under Joe Biden, there doesn’t appear to be respect for our fallen heroes. The caskets of the fallen marines have arrived from Afghanistan. But... Biden himself wasn’t there.
FALSE!
President Biden as well as several Department of Defense senior officials were part of the official party for the dignified transfer," Christin Michaud, chief of public affairs for Air Force Mortuary Affairs Operations, told AFP.
AFP photographer Saul Loeb covered the ritual at the Air Force base and documented Biden's presence at the event.
Hundreds of thousands of Facebook and Twitter followers read the post and no doubt now believe that Joe didn't attend the arrival of the Afghanistan fallen soldiers.
Are you surprised by this?
