California Gold Star mom Shana Chappell, who lost her son Kareem Nikoui in the Kabul suicide bombing, is inviting the “real President” to her son’s funeral.
“I would love if somehow my President (you Mr. Trump) could be present as i lay my Beautiful baby boy Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui to rest,” Chappell said in a Facebook post, referring to Donald Trump as the “real president.”
“It would be such an honor to meet the real President of the United States of America, President Trump,” she added. “I love you and America loves you.”
Chappell and her son’s father have made it clear that they pin the blame of their son’s death specifically on President Biden.
Biden had “turned his back on him,” said Nikoui’s father. “They sent my son over there as a paper pusher and then had the Taliban outside providing security.”
“After i [sic] lay my son to rest you will be seeing me again! Remember i am the one who stood 5 inches from your face and was letting you know i would never get to hug my son again, hear his laugh and then you tried to interrupt me and give me your own sob story and i had to tell you ‘that this isn’t about you so don’t make it about you!!!’ You then said you just wanted me to know that you know how i feel and i let you know that you don’t know how i feel and you do not have the right to tell me you know how i feel!”
She also blasted Biden for being “a weak human being and a traitor” who “turned your back on my son, on all of our Heroes!!! … MY SONS [sic] BLOOD IS ON YOUR HANDS!!! All 13 of them, their blood is on your hands!!!”
Trump replied to that post from Chappell in a statement, saying she was “100 [percent] correct. If I were President, your wonderful and beautiful son Kareem would be with you now, and so would the sons and daughters of others, including all of those who died in the vicious Kabul airport attack.”
“Civilians should have been brought out first, along with our $85 billion of equipment, with the Military coming out very safely after all was clear,” Trump continued. “I love you, and I love Kareem.”
