Steve Nikoui speaks Tuesday to FOX News Channel Congressional correspondent Aishah Hasnie outside a house hearing on the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. (Fox News)
Nikoui, 51, is the father of a U.S. Marine who was killed during that botched withdrawal in 2021.
Nikoui was escorted out of the House Galleries during Biden's State of the Union speech after he stood up and began yelling "Abbey Gate" repeatedly.
The heckling was a reference to an attack at the Abbey Gate of Hamid Karzai International Airport in Afghanistan that occurred during the military's withdrawal from the country.
