Oh, look at that! Jake Tapper has seemingly rediscovered the one group of American heroes killed in action he apparently overlooks.

Oh, look who rediscovered the Gold Star families who lost their loved ones at Abbey Gate in Afghanistan!!

He won't have any of them on (since they support Trump). Instead, he just played soundbites of them.

It does seem really weird for Biden to refuse to meet with families of soldiers lost under his charge. It's almost like he's selfish and heartless.

#FakeJake has always tried to curry favor with the right by pretending to care about veterans.

I'm not fooled.

This particular group of veterans don't seem to rank high on his list, that much is clear.

There might not be a bigger scumbag in media than @jaketapper.

Loves using vets as virtue signaling props, but when the chips are down, will always default to dem party shill.

Tapper is certainly a hypocrite on this issue.

They can't generate an opinion unless they see some clear impact on the outcome of the election.

The problem is the Democrats know these families aren't happy with Biden or the 'last woman in the room' Kamala Harris and that is hugely problematic for them.

Jake Tapper: We are “watching a tragic foreign policy disaster unfold before our eyes...The rapid crumbling of [Afghanistan] has caught the Biden White House flat footed.”

Back when it was happening, Tapper seemed to have much more moral clarity about the issue.

CNN’s Jake Tapper on Afghanistan:

"[Biden] keeps trying to change the subject from this inept withdrawal. Let’s be frank here, if you withdraw 2,500 troops then you have to send 6,000 back, that’s not planned. That’s on it's face an example of a failure.” pic.twitter.com/O5Gq7nbLUb

These days, Tapper is much more mute on the issue now that an election is around the corner. That's so weird.

@jaketapper Jake tapper would be covering this news conference on the Afghanistan withdrawal if it was the Democrats holding it, that's how you know Jake is a hack

If Republicans had been in charge, it would be all over CNN.

He's complaining that the President couldn't meet with them yet he himself never bothered to meet with them either. He has a fcking show. He could have brought them on and let them tell their story.

He has a show on a top ranking cable news channel. It seems Tapper has the perfect venue to allow those families to air all their grievances. Why won't he?

F@@k Jake Tapper forever. Stop giving Jake the benefit of the doubt. https://t.co/YYcpdHxjw8

Tapper can do the right thing and give those families a place to speak.
