Rylee McCollum,\u201d who left behind his wife, who is due to give birth within the next few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of McCollum\u2019s sisters, Roice, said she and her sister and her father joined McCollum\u2019s wife, Jiennah McCollum, on the trip. But when it came time to meet with the president, they left the room, because she said they did not want to speak with the man they held responsible for McCollum\u2019s death,\u201d the Washington Post reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnly Jiennah, who is expecting the couple\u2019s child next month, stayed. But she left disappointed, Roice said,\u201d per the Post.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe president brought up his son, Beau, according to her account, describing his son\u2019s military service and subsequent death from cancer. It struck the family as scripted and shallow, a conversation that lasted only a couple of minutes in \u2018total disregard to the loss of our Marine,&#8217;\u201d Roice told the paper.<\/p>\n<p>The Post notes that Biden does have a playbook for meeting with victims of tragedy, and he often references the death of his son, Beau, who served in Iraq. This time, though, the family said it was different given that Biden ultimately made the decision that led to McCollum\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t f\u2014 up as bad as he did and say you\u2019re sorry,\u201d Roice said. \u201cThis did not need to happen, and every life is on his hands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The McCollum family is hardly alone in having strong words for the president, who ordered the withdrawal from Afghanistan by August 31st, apparently not anticipating a Taliban blitz that left the country\u2019s capital city of Kabul in Taliban hands in mid-August. The subsequent crush to evacuate thousands of Americans and tens of thousands of Afghan allies gave way to tragedy last Friday, when a suicide bomber attacked the gates of Hamid Karzai International Airport, killing 13 U.S. service members and dozens of others.<\/p>\n<p>Steve Nikoui, whose son Kareem died also died in the blast, vented his own frustration to the Daily Beast on Friday, accusing Biden of \u201cturning his back\u201d on those sent to facilitate the president\u2019s withdrawal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey sent my son over there as a paper pusher and then had the Taliban outside providing security,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/slain-marine-kareem-nikouis-dad-vents-anger-at-military-biden-after-kabul-airport-blasts\">Nikoui said<\/a>. \u201cI blame my own military leaders. Biden turned his back on him. That\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCollum\u2019s mother called the president a \u201cfeckless, dementia-ridden piece of crap\u201d in an impromptu interview with a Sirius XM radio show. \u201cI woke up at four o\u2019clock this morning, two Marines at my door telling me my son was dead. So, to [have her on] right before me and listen to that piece of crap talk about diplomatic crap with frickin Taliban terrorists who just freakin blew up my son and no, nothing, to not say anything about oh my god, I\u2019m so sorry for families. So, my son is gone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She accused Democrats who voted for Biden of \u201ckilling\u201d her son.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
