The families of those who died during Joe Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan made a devastating speech at the Republican National Convention held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Wednesday night. They spoke about his actions before, during, and after his withdrawal and his refusal to acknowledge the fallen.
The segment featured multiple members, but the comments were all so powerful that many media outlets and pundits described the moment as both “powerful” (for Joe Biden) and “devastating”.
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

The speech was a part of RNC’s theme for Wednesday night, which focused on safety. The moment was powerful for the Republican candidate and brutal for Biden.
MSNBC, not to be outdone by the RNC, cut away just as the Gold Star Families took the stage. They had instead the DNC chairman on, who was making jokes while the speech was being delivered.
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.
