Gold Star Father Blasts Biden after National Guardsmen Shot in DC by Alleged Afghan Shooter
A Gold Star father has blasted Joe Biden over the shooting of two National Guardsmen in DC by an Afghan brought in by the former president’s policies.
Darin Hoover, the father of Staff Sergeant Taylor Hoover, who was one of the US Military members killed in the botched Afghanistan withdrawal in 2021, was very outspoken over the tragic shooting this past Wednesday.
Mr. Hoover told Fox News that the Biden administration is to blame for bringing in multiple people from Afghanistan without a vetting process.
EXCLUSIVE — The father of Staff Sgt. Darin “Taylor” Hoover — one of the 13 U.S. service members killed in the Abbey Gate bombing during the chaotic 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan — is blasting the former Biden administration after an Afghan national allegedly shot two National Guardsmen just blocks from the White House.
Hoover gave Fox News Digital a new, forceful statement on Wednesday’s shooting, saying the incident was the direct result of the administration’s failed vetting of Afghan evacuees.
“This is on the feckless Biden administration,” Hoover said of the shooting. “We had no idea who was getting into this country because the Biden administration, especially the State Department run by Antony Blinken, didn’t do the work that was needed to vet all these people. There were so many people put on the planes that got out initially, that we have no idea who they were.”
He continued: “By doing this, all we got is men of fighting age that are most likely terrorists that are here in the homeland to do us all harm and take our beloved United States of America. Maybe if the Biden administration started the process earlier than the truncated timetable that they did, this could have all come out so much better, including all of our most precious men and women of our military coming home.” Fox News Reported.
The suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, originally entered the US in 2021 under what was termed “Operation Allies Welcome,” following the disgraceful withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Hoover had also said that he, along with other parents of the fallen soldiers, knew that welcoming in thousands of Afghans would be dangerous since there was no screening or thorough background checks.
Hoover has been one of the most outspoken Goldstar parents since his son was killed in 2021. Taylor was in the Marine Corps for 11 years, was on his third deployment in Afghanistan, and was engaged to be married.
Hoover had also made the headlines in 2024 when he spoke to Fox News at the time and blasted Biden for lying during the Presidential debate, claiming that no US Servicemen died while he was President.
He was angry that Biden had never acknowledged the soldiers by name and, at best, had sent identical condolence letters to the families the year following their deaths.
Hoover also explained that the shooting of the National Guardsmen by the alleged Afghan suspect is a carryover from the disastrous withdrawal and is now affecting our homeland.
