I want to start this by stating very clearly I could not imagine losing one of my children. It is my greatest fear as I am sure it is of most parents. I am the parent of a firefighter so I have a special and particular fear of losing him. That feeling is horrific and I have to actively work to push down that worry every time he is on shift. I am so sorry Joe Biden lost his son to a brain tumor. I am also very sorry he lost a baby to a car accident with his wife many years ago. Losing two children in one lifetime is unthinkable. With that being said, I am really exhausted of Biden invoking the death of his own children any time the loss of a young person due to his policies is brought up. The latest example was during his State of the Union when referring to Laken Riley.
Yes. It was a moment. He misnames her and then immediately makes it about his loss (“I know how you feel. I’ve lost a child, too.”) Meanwhile, the Gold Star father (you know—the guy who ALSO lost a child due to Biden’s incompetence and who Biden has since ignored) gets arrested.…

He seems to think the fact he lost a child tragically is a 'get out of jail free' card for every bad result of his policies. It's not. Furthermore, Beau Biden was 46 when he died. He had the chance to marry and have children. Before Beau died, his family was able to say their goodbyes and all of those things you wish you could say when you lose a family member unexpectedly. Beau died in a comfortable bed surrounded by family and drugs keeping him comfortable. He was not in any pain. Laken Riley's last minutes were spent in absolute terror being beat to death before she even had the chance to find a man to marry or give her parents grandchildren. Those deaths are not the same. I know this is not the 'Grief Olympics' but those things matter to the heart of a parent. Laken's parents will always know their child died violently. It did not have to happen.
I’m not watching but did Biden actually compare Laken Riley’s murder to his son Beau’s death from cancer??

I did watch and yes, that is exactly what he did, and it was so egregious.
Joe Biden is an absolute disgrace to this country. Not only did he NOT say her name correctly WHEN FORCED TO - he yet again mentioned his son Beau’s death from CANCER. That is SO SELFISH and DISRESPECTFUL. 😡🤬

Listen, Joe Biden needs to stop bringing up his son all the time, period. We all know his son died. That does not take away the grief these parents are feeling and the circumstances are not the same. It is not appropriate and at this point, it makes people very angry. Rather than console other parents, it feels disrespectful and dismissive.
My memory is bad-

Did Beau Biden die a violent death at the hands of an Illegal?
Add "just like your daughter was murdered by an illegal immigrant" to the reasons why Biden has compared Beau's death.

Aggravating as hell every time he compares the death of Beau Biden with the loss of a military son or daughter and then especially a beautiful young woman that was killed by an illegal. It’s fake empathy.

I'm tired of it and I am ready for a journalist to forcibly call him out on it to the point he is so shamed, he stops. I know that is probably asking way too much of our current media. It's disrespectful to the people he is elected to serve and he deserves to be shamed over this bizarre behavior.
