<p>White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki seemingly invoked the losses that President Joe Biden has experienced in his personal life when asked during a press conference on Monday about what the president&#8217;s response was to the news that several children and an aid worker were killed in a drone strike in Afghanistan targeting ISIS-K.</p>
<p>The Pentagon <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-killed-10-civilians-including-7-children-in-failed-strike-on-alleged-isis-target-pentagon-confirms">admitted</a> last week that 10 people, including seven young children, were killed in the drone strike last month.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, the President was briefed on Friday morning about the report that was going to be released and put out, I would say, first, the president&#8217;s view, and all of our view, is that the loss of any civilian life is a tragedy, as was, as was made clear in the comments by the Secretary of Defense by General McKenzie, this was done in error,&#8221; Psaki said. &#8220;And clearly, the investigation that will continue is something the president broadly supports.&#8221;</p>
<p>Psaki continued, &#8220;So, as a human being, as a president, as somebody who has overseen loss in a variety of scenarios, both as a leader and personally, it is his reaction is it&#8217;s a tragedy and every loss is a tragedy, and he supports the efforts to, the effort to move this forward as quickly as possible and to have a thorough investigation.&#8221;</p>
<p>Psaki&#8217;s remarks seemingly are a reference to Biden losing his daughter Naomi Christina Biden in 1972 in a car accident that also killed Biden&#8217;s wife. Biden later lost his oldest son, Joseph &#8220;Beau&#8221; R. Biden III in 2015 to brain cancer.</p>
<p>Fox News anchor Bret Baier <a href="https://twitter.com/BretBaier/status/1440017626810535940">responded</a> to Psaki&#8217;s remarks by writing on social media that while it was &#8220;true&#8221; that Biden lost family members, &#8220;he didn’t experience loss at the hands of an American drone launching hellfire missiles at a target POTUS said was ISIS-K, but -in reality- was an aid worker &amp; 7 children.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Understanding loss is one thing- but understanding loss you originally took credit for is another,&#8221; Baier added.</p>
