In a sneaky move made under the darkness of night (well, not really, but it sounds dramatic, doesn’t it?), the liberal Attorney General of the District of Columbia decided to drop the misdemeanor charge against Steve Nikoui. Who is this Steve Nikoui, you ask? Oh, he’s just a Gold Star father who got a bit rowdy during Biden’s State of the Union speech. Hey, who can blame the guy? He lost his son during the messy pullout from Afghanistan, thanks to Biden’s blunders.

So, this Dem AG, Brian Schwalb, went ahead and let Nikoui off the hook, claiming that they’ve let other protesters slide in the past. But come on now, we all know this is just a ploy to save face for ol’ Biden. The man just can’t seem to face the music when it comes to the disastrous Afghan withdrawal. Gold Star families like Nikoui’s and others have been crying out for answers, but all they’ve been met with is radio silence from the White House.
Heck, one mom, Christy Shamblin, even went on CNN to spill the tea on how Biden hasn’t spared a moment to reach out to her grieving family. And when other families demanded answers before Congress, they were met with vague responses and outright lies. It’s like a bad soap opera, but with real people’s lives at stake.
You see, Nikoui was just one voice among the chorus of pain and frustration. After his outburst at the Capitol, he faced the threat of fines and jail time, but thankfully, some sensible Republicans came to his defense. They rightly pointed out that Biden has blood on his hands and should be the one facing the music, not the grieving families.
In the end, dropping the charges against Nikoui might save the Dems some embarrassment, but it doesn’t erase the pain and unanswered questions that still linger for Gold Star families. They deserve more than just political maneuvering and empty promises. Let’s hope they finally get the closure and accountability they’ve been seeking for so long.
