Fallen Marine's Father Heckles Biden Over Afghanistan Withdrawal during State of the Union
-
The heckler who interrupted Biden's State of the Union speech was Steve Nikoui, the father of a Marine killed in the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal.
-
Nikoui's son was one of 13 US service members killed in a suicide bombing at the Kabul airport during the chaotic withdrawal.
-
Nikoui and other Gold Star families have criticized Biden's handling of the withdrawal and wanted an explanation and apology.
-
Biden's approval ratings dipped after the Afghanistan withdrawal and have not recovered.
-
Two reports have faulted the Biden administration for the "abrupt and uncoordinated" pullout but did not assign responsibility for the service members' deaths.
