Nicole Gee, a Marine who was killed in the explosion at the Kabul airport&#8217;s Abbey Gate on Aug. 26, 2021. &#8220;We&#8217;ve actually reached out to the White House and have never heard back. We asked to meet with them to kind of understand where their thinking was in calling [the withdrawal] a success. It&#8217;s been months.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CNN anchor Abby Phillip had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/videos\/politics\/2024\/03\/06\/state-of-the-union-rep-mike-mccaul-christy-shamblin-the-lead.cnn\">asked<\/a> whether she felt that Biden had appropriately consoled her in the explosion&#8217;s aftermath. Shamblin appeared with Rep. Michael McCaul (R., Texas), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, who <a href=\"https:\/\/foreignaffairs.house.gov\/press-release\/chairman-mccaul-invites-gold-star-family-member-christy-shamblin-to-state-of-the-union\/\">invited<\/a> her to Thursday night&#8217;s State of the Union.<\/p>\n<p>McCaul has been fighting with Secretary of State Antony Blinken over the release of interview notes from the department&#8217;s after-action report on the Afghanistan withdrawal, <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/house\/4491323-mccaul-threatening-blinken-contempt-afghanistan-withdrawal-documents\/\">resulting<\/a> in the chairman threatening the secretary with contempt if he did not turn over the documents by Wednesday. McCaul <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/house\/4516464-mccaul-postpones-blinken-contempt-markup-after-secretary-agrees-to-produce-documents\/\">said<\/a> Thursday he canceled the committee hearing to hold him in contempt because Blinken had agreed to produce the documents.<\/p>\n<p>Shamblin has long been critical of Biden&#8217;s withdrawal from Afghanistan, especially his conduct in its aftermath. She was one of several members of the families of the 13 slain service members who spoke at a congressional forum in August 2023.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To call it a success is an ultimate disrespect for the very people that deserve every ounce of respect that we can give them,&#8221; Shamblin <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Breaking911\/status\/1688623989340487680\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Almost a month later, she said that she felt disrespected during a 2021 dignified transfer ceremony at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware days after the suicide bombing.\t<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The administration didn&#8217;t seem to know our story,&#8221; Shamblin <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/International\/gold-star-mother-bidens-conduct-dignified-transfer-ceremony\/story?id=102885936\">told<\/a> ABC News in September 2023. &#8220;They didn&#8217;t seem to know Nicole&#8217;s name, our names. People from the military certainly knew our story, Nicole&#8217;s name, our names. And that was expressed to us in a way that felt very genuine and loving. But when it came to the people in suits, it felt disingenuous and hollow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Critics have said that Biden has not taken sufficient responsibility for the chaotic operation. Last month, a report surfaced that said Biden did not believe anyone within his administration made <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/latest-news\/biden-thinks-no-one-made-mistakes-in-disastrous-afghanistan-withdrawal-report\/\">mistakes<\/a> during the withdrawal.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Gold Star mother said on CNN Wednesday that President Joe Biden never reached out to her after her daughter-in-law died in a suicide bombing during the administration&#8217;s withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. &#8220;He has not reached out to our family,&#8221; said Christy Shamblin, the mother-in-law of Sgt.
