I think it's important now more than ever to stand for what you believe, even if it 'goes against the grain,'" she explained. "Do your research, and form your own opinion - speak out if you wish. But most importantly, don't bully people who feel differently than you."

Thursday was a tense day politically in America as the attacks followed President Biden's divisive decision to continue to withdraw troops from Afghanistan after the country was taken over by the Taliban.

A suicide bomb attack Thursday outside the Abbey Gate at Kabul's airport in Afghanistan killed 13 U.S. service members and injured at least 18 more, U.S. officials said – making it the deadliest day for U.S. troops in more than 10 years.
Officials told Fox News that those killed included 10 Marines, two Army soldiers and a Navy corpsman.

Crowds had gathered for days seeking to escape the country, and there had been multiple warnings of a terror threat to the area – particularly from the Islamic State.
