During a recent presidential debate, President Joe Biden falsely claimed that no American troops have died during his administration. This statement has sparked outrage and criticism, particularly from Gold Star families and Republican lawmakers. The Pentagon confirmed that 13 U.S. servicemembers were killed in an ISIS-K bombing during the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, including at Abbey Gate, and three soldiers were killed in Jordan by an Iran-backed militia. Biden's remarks have been described as a disrespectful and painful oversight for the families of the fallen soldiers, including Darin T. Hoover and Steve Nikoui. The administration's press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, and other officials have struggled to address and correct the president's erroneous statement. Retired U.S. Army Capt. Sam Brown also criticized Biden's comments.
Multiple Gold Star families have spoken out, under oath, about their loss at Karzai International Airport's Abbey Gate bombing. Biden said in a nationally televised debate that didn't happen. This one feels important. Why aren't they invite on CNN the day after to dispute the… https://t.co/x6JPhienuw

Last night, @JoeBiden disgraced the memory of 18 heroes. Sadly it’s not a surprise he didn’t know how many warriors have died overseas on his command. This is the same man who checked his watch when presiding over the flag-draped caskets of the soldiers that died at Abbey Gate. https://t.co/Dyg5tofOJA

Our Commander-in-Chief has completely forgotten about the fallen heroes we’ve lost under his failed leadership. Utter disgrace.
Biden said last night that no American soldiers have died under his presidency. Tell that to Steve Nikoui and the families of the 13 American soldiers killed in Afghanistan during Joe Biden’s disastrous withdrawal.
13 servicemembers were killed in Afghanistan by ISIS-K on Biden’s watch. 3 soldiers were killed in Jordan by an Iran-backed militia on Biden’s watch. It’s unconscionable that Biden either doesn’t remember or doesn’t care. https://t.co/paD8m2kXnI
