Joe Biden failed. He left Americans behind.
As the evacuation was ending on Biden’s orders, Americans were reportedly left circling the airport: “Last night, dozens and dozens of U.S. citizens went to the airport...The gates never opened. Those U.S. citizens were left hanging this morning, circling the gates.”
Former Assistant Defense Secretary Mary Beth Long says Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal "was a failure."

CNN’s Clarissa Ward reported on one Texas family who had been trying to reach the airport for two weeks but was left behind.

Yet Biden’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan had the audacity to insist leaving people behind was in “the best interest” of those Americans. And Pentagon Spokesman John Kirby suggested Americans are left stranded “all the time.”
Biden’s withdrawal was nothing short of a catastrophic disaster and a dereliction of duty. When Biden and his administration claim otherwise, they are lying.
