Gold Star families of those servicemembers who died in Afghanistan spoke tonight at the RNC and it was jut a hugely incredible moment and it was so well received by the patriots in the audience.
One of the families said they were deeply offended when Joe Biden said in the debate that no servicemembers had died on his watch. They were also offended when Biden met them at the plane and made the moment about his own son who died of cancer.
They made sure that the names of these servicemembers were spoken proudly at the RNC:
Staff Sgt. Darin T. Hoover
Sgt. Johanny Rosario Pichardo
Sgt. Nicole L. Gee
Cpl. Hunter Lopez
Cpl. Daegan W. Page
Cpl. Humberto A. Sanchez
Lance Cpl. David L. Espinoza
Lance Cpl. Jared M. Schmitz
Lance Cpl. Rylee J. McCollum
Lance Cpl. Dylan R. Merola
Lance Cpl. Kareem M. Nikoui
Staff Sgt. Ryan C. Knauss
Corpsman Maxton Soviak
Watch below:
Incredibly powerful moment as the families of the 13 American service members who died at Abbey Gate in Afghanistan take the stage at the RNC.
They do something that Joe Biden has never done since his incompetence got their children killed: Say their names.

Before they came out, RNC played a heart wrenching video detailing their stories. pic.twitter.com/OX4f6So9yo— Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) July 18, 2024
Greg Price, who posted the first video, also posted what he called this ‘gut wrenching video that the RNC put together before they took the stage’:

What Joe Biden did to these families was so evil that it’s hard to put into words.pic.twitter.com/6x6nj1JVMd
