Gold Star dad says Biden-Harris 'denied' son's service as fallen Afghanistan soldiers honored in California

EXCLUSIVE — A group of California lawmakers on Thursday will honor four of the 13 U.S. service members who lost their lives in the Biden administration's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021.  

Republican Assemblyman Bill Essayli, who spearheaded the effort, plans to honor Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui who, along with his fellow service members, was killed in a blast from a suicide bombing at then-Hamid Karzai International Airport during an evacuation. At least 180 civilians were killed in the attack.
