“It’s the lack of accountability that has really upset the nation on this. It is the lack of empathy and sympathy for a situation…at least say I’m sorry,” she added. “At least apologize for a lack of leadership.”

The grieving mother said Biden’s chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal cost the ******* States its credibility on the world stage, echoing former President Trump who told a crowd earlier Monday that foreign leaders and bad actors no longer “respect us.”

“He’s right. We lost a lot of credibility in our nation and in our world powers,” she told Fox News co-anchor Sandra Smith. “We have lost it. And the only way we will gain it back is if we become a world power again.”
