Gold Star mom 'disgusted, but not shocked' by Biden claim no troops died under his watch: 'He is gone'

Gold Star mother Kelly Barnett, whose son, Staff Sgt. Darin Taylor Hoover, was among the 13 U.S. service members killed during the botched 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal, said she was "disgusted" but "not shocked" by President Biden's stunning denial during last week's presidential debate.

Biden falsely claimed on stage that he is the "only president this century, this decade, that doesn't have any troops dying anywhere in the world," ignoring the 13 fallen service members who were killed during his administration’s chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal in August 2021.

GOLD STAR FAMILY SPEAKS OUT AFTER BIDEN FALSELY CLAIMS NO TROOPS HAVE DIED ON HIS WATCH: ‘SHAME ON YOU’

In an appearance on "America Reports" Monday, Barnett said that while she and other Gold Star families are deeply hurt by the president's omission, she believes Biden was "set up" and instructed to make the offensive remark.

"I was not shocked. I was angry," she told host Sandra Smith. "I believe in my soul [that] President Biden is gone. He can’t remember what he had for breakfast. I do believe he was told to say that. They want him out. I believe it was a set-up, and...however, far gone [he is] and even if I feel sorry for him, it’s still disgusting."

Barnett's son, Staff Sgt. Darin Taylor Hoover, was engaged to be married when he was killed at age 31 during his third tour in Afghanistan.

Since her son's death, President Biden has not contacted the family, other than a formal letter sent from the White House several months after his passing, Barnett said.
