Gold Star Father On Meeting Biden: ‘Didn’t Go Well,’ Talked ‘More About His Own Son Than He Did My Son’

Gold Star father Mark Schmitz, whose son Marine Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz was killed in the terror attack at the airport in Kabul last week, slammed President Joe Biden during an interview on Monday for how the president handled himself during a meeting following his son’s death.

“First, I just wanted to say that Jared has exemplified so much that any man could ever strive for and made me so proud to watch him undertake this endeavor of going into the Marine Corp,” Schmitz said of his son. “He completed his boot camp. He went to Jordan, was excited about that. And was constantly looking to do more and was given that opportunity.”
