Biden Faces Backlash Over Delay at Dover Ceremony

President Joe Biden has faced significant backlash from military families after they reported being forced to wait for hours during a dignified transfer ceremony for 13 U.S. service members killed in a Kabul bombing while he allegedly napped on Air Force One. The families, who were at Dover Air Force Base to receive their loved ones' remains, claim they were informed by military personnel that the President was unavailable because he was asleep. Roice McCollum, sister of one of the fallen Marines, expressed her outrage, stating, 'Biden made us wait an extra three hours to receive the bodies of our dead family members because he couldn’t pull it together.' Other family members echoed similar sentiments, describing the experience as deeply disrespectful and further exacerbated by Biden checking his watch multiple times during the ceremony. The White House has denied these claims, asserting that Biden honors the families of fallen service members and holds them in the highest regard. This incident, part of the broader criticism surrounding the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, has been termed a low point in Biden's presidency.
