Gold Star dad Steve Nikoui arrested after heckling Biden at SOTU address
Republican lawmakers mobilized behind the Gold Star father arrested after heckling President Biden during the State of the Union address on Thursday.
Steve Nikoui, the father of a U.S. Marine killed by a suicide bomber during the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, stood up and repeatedly shouted, "Abbey Gate!," in reference to the attack at the Abbey Gate of Hamid Karzai International Airport that occurred during the military's exit from the country.
Nikoui shouted after Biden said, "America is safer today than when I took office." Capitol Police escorted Nikoui out of Biden's address and arrested him.
Republicans have since taken to social media to rally around the Gold Star father.
Florida Republican Rep. Brian Mast, who invited Nikoui to the address, criticized Biden after the ordeal.
"Steve Nikoui, the father of fallen Marine LCpl. Kareem Nikoui, was my guest to {the State of the Union address]," Mast wrote on X. "He was arrested because he cried out to [Biden] to remember his son."
"Joe Biden has never honored those killed at the Abby Gate and still hails the catastrophic withdrawal as a success!" Mast said.....
===========================
So Biden refuses to meet with the Gold Star mother of a Soldier he got killed in Afghanistan and he has a Gold Star father arrested at the SOTU address. Then Bedin could even get Laken Riley's name right. I guess if Biden gets you killed you just aren't important to him. What a POS we have in the White House November and January can't come too fast.
