Fox News hit a new low today as the network criticized President Joe Biden for not attending or speaking events in honor of fallen veterans.
According to the news outlet, Biden was hypocritical, as he criticized Donald Trump a few weeks back for canceling a visit to a marine cemetery due to the rain affecting his hair. Only for Biden to not give remarks or schedule events on the third anniversary of the Kabul airport attack, Fox claims.
Trump and Fox have had a rocky relationship recently, as Trump slammed rigged polls while still calling into their shows on a regular basis and having meltdowns on air.
Users on X were quick to correct Fox, as Biden did not reject any Arlington event, nor was Trump’s visit an event; instead, it was a private visit that the Trump Campaign publicized. “The ‘Arlington event’ was a Trump campaign propaganda event where he desecrated the hallowed ground of Arlington Cemetery with zero regard for the dead. Shame on you @FoxNews,” one person wrote.
“Community noted and you call yourself news?” another user said.

The Biden administration did put out as statement on the anniversary of the airport killings.
“Three years ago, an ISIS suicide bomber launched an attack of deliberate evil at Abbey Gate outside of Kabul Airport—killing 13 American service members and more than 100 innocent Afghans. Today, and every day, we honor our fallen,” a statement from Biden read.
Biden was on vacation, causing backlash from those on the right and criticizing the president on the optics of Trump honor troops and not Biden.
“During the anniversary of the Afghanistan withdrawal, amidst an ongoing migrant and economic crisis, President Biden continues to do what he does best – NOTHING!” Representative Debbie Lesko of Arizona said in a post on X.
Representative Andy Biggs of Arizona said Biden’s absence “should tell you everything you need to know.”
“Three years ago, Biden-Harris’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal caused the deaths of 13 U.S. service members. President Trump attended the ceremony in their honor at Arlington Cemetery today,” Biggs posted on X. “Biden is on vacation.”
