Marine who survived Afghanistan explosion describes awkward encounter with Biden after losing arm and leg
Gold Star parents Kelly Barnett and Darin Hoover lost their son Staff Sgt. Taylor Hoover in the Kabul bombing. They joined 'Fox & Friends' to discuss the need for accountability with the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Vargas-Andrews said he was asked by the generals who visited him in the hospital whether he wanted to meet the president so he could be thanked for his service. Hesitant and still sedated from the medication he was taking, he welcomed the idea. Vargas-Andrews said he was told that the president would be at the hospital to meet him in"about an hour."
"Two minutes later, he walks in with Jill Biden and their little entourage of people and like a photographer," he recalled."Right away, I remember him coming up to me trying to shake my hand, shake my right hand, and I look at him, and I'm like 'I don't have an arm.' My left arm is in this big a-- cast with this giant orange f---ing foam block around it. I'm completely immobile. All I can do is move my head.
Vargas-Andrews said the Bidens"almost immediately starts talking about how their son served in the military. [He] doesn't say anything about what happened, just starts talking about how their son"My mom's furious at this point and they're like taking pictures and stuff," he said of the encounter.
