Darin Hoover, a Gold Star Father at Dover this weekend, was very unhappy with Biden’s disrespectful behavior during the transfer service on Sunday, noting that Biden kept checking his watch over and over, saying he did it every single time a fallen service member was received at Dover:

Hoover claimed the president looked down at his watch not once but several times as the caskets were being offloaded:
"That didn't happen just once. It happened on every single one that came out of that airplane. It happened on every single one of them. They would release the salute, and he would look down at his watch on every last one, all 13, he looked down at his watch," Hoover said.
"As a father, seeing that and the disrespect, and hearing from his former leaders, one of [Taylor's] master sergeants said … that this was avoidable -- that they left them over there: They had them over there and let them down, and we can't have that. It can't happen ever again," he said.
Asked about why Hoover and his family declined to meet with Biden, the grieving father explained, "We said absolutely not. We didn't want to deal with him, we didn't want him anywhere near us. We as a family decided that that was the way it was going to be."
