Steve Nikoui, a Gold Star parent who tragically lost his son in Afghanistan during President Biden’s disastrous withdrawal, made a powerful statement by interrupting Biden’s State of the Union Address. As Biden boasted about a decrease in violent crime, Nikoui yelled out “United States Marines!” and “Abbey Gate!”, reminding everyone of the painful consequences of Biden’s failed leadership in Afghanistan.

It’s truly heartbreaking to see a grieving father like Steve Nikoui have to endure the loss of his son due to President Biden’s incompetent handling of the Afghan withdrawal. Biden’s attempt to brush aside the Afghanistan debacle and move on is disgraceful, and it’s important for people like Nikoui to continue demanding justice for their fallen loved ones.
Congressman Brian Mast’s decision to invite Nikoui to the State of the Union Address was a bold and necessary move to hold Biden accountable for the lives lost in Afghanistan. Mast rightly criticized Biden for abandoning American citizens and leaving behind billions of dollars worth of military equipment in Afghanistan, all while terrorists gained strength and oppressed the Afghan people.
The harrowing story of Lance Corporal Kareem Nikoui, who was killed in the Kabul airport bombing, serves as a stark reminder of the human toll of Biden’s disastrous decision-making. Biden’s refusal to acknowledge the sacrifices made by Nikoui and other brave servicemembers is a disgrace and shows his lack of respect for the military and their families.
It’s crucial to support and amplify the voices of Gold Star families like the Nikouis, who have paid the ultimate price due to Biden’s reckless policies. We must continue to hold Biden accountable for his failures in Afghanistan and ensure that the sacrifices of our servicemembers are never forgotten or diminished.
