Paula Knauss Selph, the mother of one of the 13 service members killed in Kabul, Afghanistan, condemned Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday for the botched U.S. withdrawal on Aug. 26, 2021.Selph’s son, Army Staff Sgt. Ryan Christian Knauss, died during an ISIS member’s suicide bombing at Hamid Karzai International Airport as U.S. troops withdrew from Afghanistan. Selph told CNN’s Brianna Keilar that the Biden-Harris administration has attempted to “sweep it under the rug” instead of addressing their mistakes during an interview held on the third anniversary of the withdrawal.“It would be great if the administration would start out by saying ‘we made a mistake. We made several mistakes. We did not make the best decisions.’ Instead, this administration has tried to sweep it under the rug, and that’s absolutely not going to work for this nation nor this world who watched this live on television. You can’t deny what we all knew and saw,” Selph said.

We didn’t think they would apologize for the death of 13 heroes Biden and Harris won’t even mention her name. They didn’t even show up today.
