Gold Star Dad: Biden's Comment To Son's Widow Was So Bad I'd Be In Jail If Secret Service Hadn't Been There https://www.westernjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Joe_Biden.jpg The father of a fallen U.S. Army soldier found former Vice President Joe Biden’s comments toward his son’s widow so offensive, he suggested the presence of the Secret Service is likely the only thing that kept him from hitting the then-Obama administration official. Mike Iubelt’s 20-year-old son, Army Pfc. Tyler Iubelt, was killed in November 2016 in a suicide bomb attack at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan. “The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, which they said was carried out by a suicide bomber inside the base,” CBS News reported at the time. “Zabihullah Mujahid, a spokesman for the insurgent group, said the attack had been planned for four months.” The attack was carried out by a U.S. defense contractor working at the base. According to CBS affiliate KFVS, Biden attended the dignified transfer of Iubelt’s remains at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware on Nov. 15. Though the ceremony took place in the closing months of Barack Obama’s presidency, this was the first dignified transfer Biden had publicly attended. Mike Iubelt recently told the Washington Examiner that Biden made some highly inappropriate remarks to his family at the Dover ceremony. “It was a horrible conversation, it was a horrible experience,” Iubelt said. “I left there feeling worse than I did before he walked through the doors.” Biden angered both Iubelt and his son’s mother, Charlotte Loquasto, by allegedly complimenting Tyler’s widow about her looks. “He told my daughter-in-law [Shelby Iubelt] … that she was too pretty for this to happen to her,” Mike Iubelt recalled. “It’s probably a good thing that he was surrounded by Secret Service, probably for both of us, because I’d probably be locked up in jail right now.” Biden also upset the family by expressing pessimism about the war in Afghanistan, just three days after Tyler died at Bagram in service to his nation. “Well, unfortunately, they’re a 14th-century country, they don’t want us there, they’re never going to change,” Biden said, according to Loquasto. “He’s second in line [to the presidency], he could potentially be our leader any day, and he doesn’t even know why we’re there,” she added. A week after Tyler’s body arrived at Dover, the fallen soldier was flown to Scott Air Force Base in southern Illinois. His family and a large number of military personnel were on-hand when the casket arrived.
