I’m more than a little disappointed to see the mainstream media widely ignoring this mom. Kath McCollum called into the Andrew Wilkow show and unloaded on Biden for costing her son his life. Rylee McCollum, just 20-years-old, was one of the 13 service members murdered in the attack on the airport outside of Kabul last Thursday.
His mother recalls what she felt, the minute she knew her son had died. Her words were so powerful, it was hard not to cry while listening to her:
“My son was one of the marines that died,” she told Wilkow on Saturday. “Twenty years and 6-months-old, getting ready to go home from freaking Jordan to be home with his wife to watch the birth of his son, and that feckless, dementia-ridden piece of c**p just sent my son to die.”
“I woke up at 4 o’clock this morning. Two marines at my door telling me that my son was dead,” she sobbed.
“I just want all you Democrats who cheated in the election, or who voted for him legitimately, you just killed my son,” she said. “With a dementia-ridden piece of c**p who doesn’t even know he’s in the White House who still thinks he’s a senator. So, I’m gonna try to calm down, sorry.”
Rylee’s mother said the young man was just married earlier this year. Adding that he and his new wife are expecting a baby next month.
“This was an unnecessary debacle that could have been handled properly. They had months and months to remove everyone from Afghanistan and they chose not to,” she said. “And so they sent in what, 6,000 troops? And through the law of statistics, my son was one of the ones who just got blown up in a terrorist bomb yesterday.”
“So, instead of grieving and crying, I’m just getting mad,” she said.
The radio host asked her if there’s any organization in which they could connect her with, or any information, they would recommend many family support groups they work with.
“I can’t imagine what you’re going through right now,” Wilkow told her. “Everything you’re feeling now is justified. I don’t think you have to apologize. You have every right to feel how you feel and speak your mind.”
According to his mother, Rylee joined the military while following her boyfriend’s footsteps. Kathy’s boyfriend served 801st medical units. She explained he was part of the first group of soldiers in Iraq in 2003
“My son was a genius child. He could have done anything he wanted to do in the military, and he chose to be a marine sniper, and that was his choice,” she said.
“Instead of just being fast-tracked, he chose this course, but I never thought in a million years he would die for nothing,” she added.
She asserted he wouldn’t have died had Trump still been the commander-in-chief.
“[Biden] needs to be removed from office. It never would have happened under Trump,” Kathy McCollum said.

The Breach Supply company set up a GoFundMe for the Marine’s child, writing:
“This is a fund specifically dedicated to the education and upbringing of Marine Rylee McCollum’s child who is expected for September. His sacrifice at HKIA to protect the lives of those who cannot themselves will not be forgotten.”
