The sister of one of the 13 US troops killed in an ISIS-K suicide blast in Afghanistan last week slammed President Biden for comments he made while paying his respects Sunday, referring to them as 'scripted' and 'shallow.'
On Sunday, the remains of Marine Rylee McCollum, 20, were returned to the United States, where Biden, along with McCollum's pregnant wife, Jiennah Crayton, and his sister Roice, received him at Dover Air force in Delaware.
Biden met privately with McCollum's family, in addition to families of the 12 other fallen service members, before quietly observing flag-draped cases transport their bodies off a plane.
