During Biden’s speech, Nikoui could be heard yelling, “Abbey Gate, Abbey Gate” at approximately 10:15 p.m. ET. Abbey Gate is the entrance to Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, where a single explosive device was detonated by an ISIS-K terrorist. The blast killed 13 U.S. service members and at least 170 Afghans.
Made himself look like a fool who cares more about politics than the death of his son to me.
I’d give him a break due to his grieving, but honestly, it’s pathetic that he would let his love for his son be manipulated for political points.
He was literally trying to use his son’s death to help the man who gave the orders that got his son killed.
Conservatism seems, in my estimation, to be invariably vague in its ideology. Nothing is truly valued beyond the narrative.
The narrative isn’t even valued. How many times does Trump say something and then pretend he never said it. Or other members of the GOP say “I don’t think he really means that”. All that’s valued is pissing off the liberals by being arrogant, loud jerks.
None of the people on the right seem to know that Trump negotiated that deal.

Was his goal necessarily to help Trump?
True, I’ve assumed too much. It just falls right in that Fox news narrative from 2 years back they were doing a lot.
