Kevin McCarthy warned on Fox that there are 5,000 prisoners who “just left Afghanistan” and are hoping to cross US borders. There is no basis for this at all…and it was Trump’s Taliban deal, praised by McCarthy, that got 5,000 prisoners freed: https://t.co/G9PNpK2mEk

pro tip: if you sat silent when Trump abandoned Syria and evacuated exactly zero of our Kurdish allies and handed over our military bases to Russia, kindly sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up and spare us your fake outrage over Afghanistan. Biden is rescuing tens of thousands

Attacking Biden, Kevin McCarthy claimed Sunday that oil prices were at the highest level we’ve seen. Aside from the fact that presidents don’t control oil prices - prices were A) not even at half the all-time high and B) not even at the Trump-era high: https://t.co/G9PNpK2mEk

I don’t remember Donald Trump flying one Kurd to safety. He let Turkey slaughter them. They were our allies that served side by side with our troops. Where is the outrage from the Fox Russian Propaganda Machine??? Biden has safely evacuated over 79,000 Afghans. Let’s take score!

Hillary Clinton charging for Kabul evac: $0
Says it all, really.
It CANNOT be overstated how angry Pentagon & State Dept officials are at Rep. Moulton & Rep. Peter Meijer for flying to Afghanistan in the middle of an evacuation. “It’s as moronic as it is selfish. They’re taking seats away from Americans,” official says https://t.co/oY9IBbg1iC

They impeached Trump over a phone call but stranding thousands of Americans in a terrorist controlled country is just fine.

I asked President Biden what he will do if Americans are still in Afghanistan after the 8/31 deadline.

His response: “You’ll be the first person I call.”

So Biden gets out of a 20 year quagmire in Afghanistan...evacuates 70,000+ people...as of now no Americans died...and we're supposed to believe this is bad?

🇺🇸 The U.S. military has evacuated and facilitated the evacuation of approx. 82,300 people from Kabul since August 14. Pretty damn impressive!
