Biden admin: Americans "get stranded in countries all the time”

Rapid Response

Joe Biden stranded Americans in Afghanistan, and now his administration is astonishingly insisting it’s no big deal.

What a flip from the administration’s position just last week.

August 23: Press Secretary Jen Psaki insisted “I think it's irresponsible to say Americans are stranded. They are not.

Today: Biden’s Pentagon Spokesman John Kirby told MSNBC when discussing Afghanistan, “We have Americans that get stranded in countries all the time.”

Hundreds of Americans were stranded because of Joe Biden – many were blocked from the airport.

To insist this “happens all the time” is shameful. Biden chose to abandon Americans in Afghanistan. Because of him, Americans are now at the mercy of the Taliban, and targets for the thousands of ISIS-K fighters released during Biden’s botched withdrawal.

Biden lied. He left Americans behind.
