• Cheryl Rex, the mother of slain Marine Lance Cpl. Dylan Merola, questioned President Biden’s compassion and concern for the 13 servicemembers killed during his chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan that concluded one year ago Wednesday.
• Rex also responded Tuesday to claims from a new book that Gold Star family members were incensed at Biden, when he traveled to Dover, Del., to witness the dignified transfer of the fallen.
• “Atlantic” writer Franklin Foer wrote in “The Final Days” that a sister of a fallen servicemember shouted “I hope you burn in Hell” in Biden’s direction while they had loaded onto a bus on the day of the transfer. Another report from the book claimed that moment led Biden to “second guess” himself.
