The Biden administration should be ashamed of themselves.
That briefing from John Kirby on the Afghanistan withdrawal was an insult to the 13 servicemembers who lost their lives, veterans and those in uniform, and to every single American.
On behalf of the administration, he deflected all responsibility, painting Biden as a “helpless” president, while having the audacity to brag about the administration’s “planning.”

He claimed “there’s a lot to be proud of” about the withdrawal, and then insisted “for all this talk of ‘chaos,’ I just didn't see it.”

He insisted this report is not about “accountability” a full 18 months after Biden broke his promise to stay until the evacuation was complete.

Americans saw the images and videos of the chaos with their own eyes. The American people remember, and with the new House Republican majority, accountability is coming.
