President Biden has sparked outrage after it emerged that he may not attend a ceremony honoring the three US Army reservists killed in Jordan — as reports suggest he may be planning retaliatory air strikes on Iranian assets in the Persian Gulf in the next few days.
President Biden has sparked outrage after it emerged that he may not attend a ceremony honoring the three US Army reservists killed in Jordan — as reports suggest he may be planning retaliatory air strikes on Iranian assets in the Persian Gulf in the next few days.
The bodies of Sgt. William Rivers, 46, Spc. Brianna Moffatt, 23, and Spc. Kennedy Ladon Sanders, 24, all from Georgia, are expected to be flown back to Dover Air Force in a dignified transfer, after they were killed by Iranian-backed militants in a Saturday night attack on a small outpost near the Syrian border.
But when asked on Monday whether the president would attend the ceremony, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said he doesn’t “have anything on [the president’s] schedule to speak to.”
Many online found the response “disgraceful.”
“Joe Biden just got three black members of the military killed,” free speech advocate Philip Anderson posted on X.
