As I said three links, and this was from just one of them
Biden did not address the group collectively with prepared comments, instead making his way around the room for more private moments with each individual family. And the reactions varied widely; some families opted not to meet with Biden at all, while others accepted hugs from him.
Your can read the other two to find they're saying the same thing.
And most importantly, those links are from PUBLISHED SUN, AUG 29 2021
Which means they long predate, statements made by gold star families three years later. Hence they can't be part of a future MSM conspiracy..
As I said Occam's razor. It makes more sense that if independent reporting at the time of the meeting document the meeting. That the meeting happened. And someone claiming it didn't happen, three years later, is relying on the useful morons that support Trump.
