White House press secretary Jen Psaki was hammered Monday following her decision to invoke President Joe Biden's personal losses and grief while responding to a question on the botched drone strike in Afghanistan. The strike, intended to target ISIS-K terrorists following last month's terror attack that killed 13 U.S. service members in Kabul, instead killed seven children, among other innocent victims. Biden has frequently spoken about his personal experience with grief and how he's overcome it during his long political career. Biden's infant daughter and first wife were killed in a car accident in 1972, and his son Beau died of brain cancer in 2015. National Review's Dan McLaughlin hit the White House for "veering into self-parody territory" while acknowledging the significance of his family history with loss.
