On Sunday, President Biden spat in the faces of the grieving families whose loved ones, service members were killed by a suicide bomb at the Kabul airport last week. As their bodies were being tended to during the dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base, Biden repeatedly looked down at his watch as if he was counting the minutes until the inconvenient photo op was over. Meanwhile, the liberal broadcast networks refused to cover his blatant disrespect and instead chose to tout his presence.

“A solemn heartbreaking day at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, Sunday President Biden attending the dignified transfer of the flag-draped remains of 13 U.S. service members killed in the suicide attack at Kabul airport while helping evacuate more than 100,000 Afghan allies and American citizens,” reported ABC chief global affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz on Good Morning America on Monday.

Over on NBC’s Today, also on Monday, correspondent Erin McLaughlin claimed: “President Biden and the First Lady paid respects to the fallen at Dover Air Force Base over the weekend.”

Fact check: Checking your watch is not paying your respects.
