McCaul Calls for Charges Against Gold Star Dad Who Interrupted Biden Speech to Be Dropped
- McCaul called for charges against Gold Star dad Steve Nikoui, who interrupted Biden's SOTU speech, to be dropped
- Nikoui is father of Marine Kareem Nikoui, killed in 2021 ISIS-K attack at Abbey Gate airport in Afghanistan
- Nikoui yelled "Abbey Gate" from House gallery during speech to protest his son's death
- McCaul said he talked to Nikoui before speech but didn't encourage him to protest
- McCaul said charges like crowding and obstructing against Nikoui seem "overbearing" given he lost his son
