On Wednesday, former President Donald Trump sent a message to a grieving Gold Star mother who described being disrespected by President Joe Biden after her son’s death in Afghanistan last week.
Shana Chappell made headlines this week when she posted on Facebook about meeting Biden on Sunday during the dignified transfer of her son’s remains at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware.
Her son, Marine Lance Cpl. Kareem Mae’Lee Grant Nikoui, was slain by a suicide bomber at Kabul International Airport on Thursday, along with 12 other American soldiers, after Biden’s decisions put troops and civilians in danger.
“President Joe Biden … This msg is for you!” Chappell wrote on Facebook. “I know my face is etched into your brain! I was able to look you straight in the eyes yesterday and have words with you. After i lay my son to rest you will be seeing me again!
“Remember i am the one who stood 5 inches from your face and was letting you know i would never get to hug my son again, hear his laugh and then you tried to interrupt me and give me your own sob story and i had to tell you “that this isn’t about you so don’t make it about you!!!”
“You then said you just wanted me to know that you know how i feel and i let you know that you don’t know how i feel and you do not have the right to tell me you know how i feel!
“[You] then rolled your f***ing eyes in your head like you were annoyed with me and i let you know that the only reason i was talking to you was out of respect for my son and that was the only reason why.
“[I] then proceeded to tell you again how you took my son away from me and how i will never get to hug him, kiss him, laugh with him again etc… [You] turned to walk away and i let you know my sons blood was on your hands and you threw your hand up behind you as you walked away from me like you were saying ‘ok whatever!!!’”
Chappell went on to blame Biden for the murders of every young person killed in Afghanistan after last week’s atrocious attack.
“MY SONS BLOOD IS ON YOUR HANDS!!! All 13 of them, their blood is on your hands!!!!” she wrote. “If my president Trump was in his rightful seat then my son and the other Heros would still be alive!!!!”
Trump, through his Save America PAC, issued a response to Chappell on Wednesday.
The former president offered her love and told her he understood her anger.
“Shana, you are 100% correct. If I were President, your wonderful and beautiful son Kareem would be with you now, and so would the sons and daughters of others, including all of those who died in the vicious Kabul airport attack,” Trump wrote.
“Civilians should have been brought out first, along with our $85 billion of equipment, with the Military coming out very safely after all was clear. I love you, and I love Kareem.”
