Fox News host Harris Faulkner was left in disbelief when network reporter Jacqui Heinrich informed her that President Joe Biden had not yet contacted the families of the three American service members who lost their lives in Syria earlier this week.
The tragic incident occurred when a one-way attack drone crashed into a Jordanian base, resulting in the deaths of Sgt. William Rivers, Specialist Kennedy Sanders, and Specialist Breonna Moffett.
This attack, attributed to Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq, has heightened tensions in the region.
“Also, Harris, watching for news that the president has contacted the families of these fallen soldiers or that he plans to attend their dignified transfer at Dover. Neither of those questions [did] the White House have any answers on yesterday,” Heinrich told Faulker Tuesday.
“It’s been three days,” Faulkner said.
“Yeah,” Heinrich replied.
“That’s a lot,” Faulkner replied. “Well, we’ll thank them. We’ll thank those families and those patriots we’ve lost and all those men and women in harm’s way in the Middle East. We’ll say thank you and tell them that we love them.”
In a recent interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre faced difficulty in expressing a clear statement about the tragic loss of three U.S. service members at the Jordanian base. This incident marks the first occurrence of American military personnel losing their lives in the Middle East since the start of the Gaza conflict.
“What I will say, our deepest, uh, obviously, our deepest condolences go out, and our heartfelt condolences go out to the families, uh, who lost three brave, uh, three brave, three brave — three folks who are military folks who are brave, who are always fighting, who are fighting on behalf of this administration, of the American people,” Jean-Pierre said.
KJP was blasted on social media for saying the three fallen service members were “fighting on behalf of this administration,” with many correcting her in saying that, no, they were serving the country, not the White House.
No, Karine Jean-Pierre.
Our military doesn’t fight for the Biden administration.
Our military fights for the American people and to protect our freedoms.
What a disgusting, pompous comment that truly encompasses the mindset of these frauds in the White House. https://t.co/AG7ZVva1IU

We don't fight on the behalf of any political party/administration. We trust that the American people use their vote wisely so that when we are called to fight, it is for a moral and just cause. Unfortunately that doesn't happen very often since most of our wars are horseshit.

Fighting on behalf of "this administration"?
These are soldiers fighting on behalf of their country. They are not a Praetorian Guard whose job it is to keep Emperor Joe Biden propped up and in power.

Can we get someone who isn’t a DEI hire to speak on behalf of fallen soldiers who died for America and NOT for Joe Biden?
