Gold Star families have railed against POTUS for allegedly blowing them off, speaking of his own grief and not listening to theirs, and appearing to check his watch while he attended the dignified transfer of 13 U.S. troops killed by ISIS terror attacks in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked about Biden appearing to check his watch during the transfer and refused to give a direct answer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of the Gold Star families have criticized the president\u2019s conduct at the dignified transfer,\u201d Fox News\u2019 Jacqui Heinrich <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/psaki-biden-looked-watch-ceremony-13-service-members-killed-kabul\">told<\/a> the press secretary. \u201cThere was a father of one Marine who said the president shouldn\u2019t be checking his watch every time a flag draped transport case came by the plane. And a sister of another Marine said that it felt like a fake and scripted apology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Emphasizing her question, Heinrich asked, \u201cWas the president looking at his watch and does he have a message for those people who felt that they were offended?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Psaki side-stepped the criticism and refused to address the question relating to Biden looking at his watch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I would say his message to all of the family members, who were there, those who were not even in attendance, is that he is grateful to their sons and daughters, the sacrifice that they made to the country,\u201d Psaki responded. \u201cThat he knows firsthand what it\u2019s like to lose a child and the fact no one can tell you anything, or say anything, that there\u2019s no words that are going to fill that hole that is left by that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s not and I\u2019m not going to speak to the private conversations, of course, they have the right to convey whatever they would like,\u201d Psaki added. \u201cBut I will tell you, from spending a lot of time with him over the last couple of days, that he was deeply impacted by these family members who he met, just two days ago. That he talks about them frequently in meetings and the incredible service of their sons and daughters. That is not going to change their suffering, but I wanted to convey that still.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
