The Biden administration has only shown signs of incompetence while facing the Afghanistan crisis…
During a press conference, NBC reporter Peter Alexander asked Biden what he’ll do if Americans remain in Afghanistan after the August 31 deadline to withdraw US troops.
“You’ll be the first person I call.” Biden jokes in response.
Not only is his comment offensive, but it’s clear that he does not understand the gravity of his statement, and how it sounds to the patriots waiting for their family members to return home as many struggle to get out of the war-torn country.
Whether this response was a mistake on Biden’s part or just a portion of his script given to him… it’s still a terrible thing to say.
White House secretary Jen Psaki desperately defended Biden’s remarks. She pointed out that Biden has given several updates on the situation in Afghanistan.
In a press conference, Psaki tried to protect Biden’s image. Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked her about Biden’s response. He said, “[Biden] was asked about Afghanistan, and he made a joke. What’s so funny?”
However, Psaki appeared to be caught off-guard with the question. She focused her answer instead on the administration’s talking points about the ongoing evacuation.
She said, “I think what he conveyed is that he has not — well, what I can convey from here, I should say is that, as he stated yesterday and as the secretary of state just stated, we’re on track to complete our mission by August 31st.”
Then she mentioned, “Obviously there are discussions, and the president received a briefing just this morning — as I noted, he asked yesterday for contingency plans and he received a briefing on them this morning. These are incredibly serious issues and they are discussions that are happening internally.”
Psaki also added that Biden has spoken on the issue “multiple times over the last several days.”
That’s one way for someone to say so much… without actually saying anything. She’s trying way too hard to cover Biden’s incompetence.
Just like Biden, there’s nothing funny about how Psaki handles her job of babysitting him. They’re equally terrible at what they do.
A few weeks later, reporters once again grilled Psaki. The reason is that Biden broke his promise… of making sure Americans won’t get stranded in Afghanistan.
A reporter asked Psaki why Biden allowed his credibility to “go out the door” by promising to stay in the country until every American was evacuated.
She defended Biden, making him look like the good guy. Psaki said, “Well, first I would say the president remains committed to getting every American citizen who wants to get out, get out. That’s an enduring commitment, one that will not change and one we’re going to focus on every single day.”
The dems are hypocrites, and Psaki is among the biggest ones out there. She did her best to cover the truth that “Americans really got stranded in Afghanistan.”
If Biden can’t really handle a crisis at this level and he would need Psaki to cover for him… then it would be better if he’d just step down from his position to make America great again.
