Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly did not want any part of facing the music on Sunday after the catastrophic collapse of Afghanistan. The U.S. humiliation on the world stage set off public demands to hear from the president; but in the absence of the Commander-in-Chief, any White House explanation about the disastrous finale in a two-decades-long war would have sufficed.
According to multiple reports, Harris was asked to address the American people on Sunday about the unraveling situation in the war-torn country, but refused. As the Taliban threatened the lives of thousands of Americans and allies in Kabul, pressure mounted on the White House to look the people in the eye and explain what happened. Yet, no one did.
A well-placed source inside the White House informs Becker News that Kamala Harris objected to addressing the nation on Sunday. The source reports that Kamala Harris could be heard screaming, “They will not pin this s*** on me!” Furthermore, the source reports that Jill Biden was at Camp David deflecting calls being made for Joe Biden.
The report is corroborated by OANN’s Jack Posobiec, who provides the account that Harris objected to addressing the American people.
“Shade War going hot – Kamala refused a request to do a presser today,” Posobiec reported. “Said she was focused on Haiti not Afghanistan. Now staffers for the rival teams have been openly fighting all day, per WH official.”
While Kamala Harris wanted no blame for the collapse of Afghanistan, she boasted in April about the White House’s decision to do a precipitous withdrawal against the advice of generals.
“President Biden always said that he wants you to be the last person in the room, particularly for big decisions, just as he was for President Obama,” CNN’s Dana Bash said. “He just made a really big decision, Afghanistan.”
“Yes,” Harris replied.
“Were you the last person in the room?” she continued.
“Yes,” she answered.
“And you feel comfortable?” Bash followed up.
“I do,” she responded. “And I’m going to add to that. This is a president who has an extraordinary amount of courage.”
This is coming from someone who didn’t have the ‘courage’ to face the American people, which could also be said for the president on Sunday.
“He is someone who I have seen over and over again make decisions based on what he truly believes, based on his years of doing this work and studying these issues, what he truly believes is the right thing to do,” she continued.
“And I’m going to tell you something about him. He is acutely aware that it may not be politically popular or advantageous for him personally. It’s really something to see, and I wish that the American public could see sometimes what I see, because ultimately — and the decision always rests with him, but I have seen him over and over again make decisions based exactly on what he believes is right, regardless of what maybe the political people tell him is in his best selfish interest,” she said.
Both President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris made the decision to precipitously withdraw U.S. troops in Afghanistan against the advice of generals.
“President Biden used his daily national security briefing on the morning of April 6 to deliver the news that his senior military leaders suspected was coming,” the New York Times reported in April. “He wanted all American troops out of Afghanistan by Sept. 11, the 20th anniversary of the attacks on New York and the Pentagon.”
“I take what you said as a decision, sir,” General Mark Milley said, according to officials with knowledge of the meeting. “Is that correct, Mr. President?” Biden confirmed the decision.
“The current military leadership hoped it, too, could convince a new president to maintain at least a modest troop presence, trying to talk Mr. Biden into keeping a residual force and setting conditions on any withdrawal,” the Times continued. “But Mr. Biden refused to be persuaded.”
Now that even Biden-friendly media outlets from Politico to CNN concede that the Afghanistan withdrawal was ‘bungled,’ the onus of blame falls both on Joe Biden and the ‘last person in the room’ Kamala Harris.
That neither of them had the ‘courage’ on Sunday to face the American people is telling; and while it was reported that Biden would only address the people within a ‘few days,’ he will be speaking on the Afghanistan collapse on Monday afternoon. Whether or not he will only want to talk about “happy things,” and put a rosy spin on one of the worst military disasters since the Fall of Saigon, will remain to be seen.
Gawd! We sure had pitiful D candidates forced on us ( this ineligible Veep especially).
Pathetic !
Best to keep legs open and mouth shut, hon.
RE: Gawd! We sure had pitiful D candidates forced on us ( this ineligible Veep especially).
That’s not the issue and the worry. The issue and the worry is -— THEY WON ( yes, FORCED ON US ).
It’s obvious that this Republic ( if we can keep it as Ben Franklin would say ) is in serious trouble.
RE: “Doesn’t she know that a VP’s first duty is to support his President through thick or thin?”
OK, Mr. Pence, did you support Trump when he was cheated of victory in November 2020?
Kamala was handpicked by the voice in Biden’s earpiece he has worn for almost 2 years now and is deftly avoiding the traps Joe sets for her. Most of us readily admit to mistakes since we make few of them but some people fail so often they think it is normal. I read an article about Joe, ‘Biden Needs to Admit His Failures on Afghanistan’, and you can give that a look at Daily Signal. And lying is worse because then you have to remember what lie you told to which person. Harris and her fellow non-American (Barack, aka puppet master) have the MSM to cover up their lies.
Of India (mom), Jamaica (dad) or Canada (raised there as a kid)?
Now we know where the Wuhan originated from.
HarrisBiden shitshow can end in resignation by both plus cabinet and Joint Chiefs. Marxism failed in 208 days rule over America. They need to go quietly into the night before somebody shows up with a real insurrection.
I love my job...I love my job...
Just shows you that neither Joe or Kamala were ever even in charge.
The reason Kamala hasn’t been around much is because she’s been busy buying Mike Lindell mattresses for her post-political career revival as California’s top “Human Mattress”.
I think this is a very smart move on her part.
LOL - Thanks for the needed laugh.😄
agree
Sorry Kamala.
You’re pinned to the mattress on
this one. Should be a comfort zone
for you, though.
Loyd Austin appears to be standing in front of a Nazi banner.
Keeping the mouth shut is not how she got where she is with her calloused knees...
“Were you the last person in the room?” she continued.
“Yes,” she answered. “And you feel comfortable?” Bash followed up.
“I do,” she responded. “And I’m going to add to that. This is a president who has an extraordinary amount of courage.”
I don't know if Willie's bitch said, "They won't pin this shit on me" or not, but she sure took credit for the original decision to get out.
I pity the people stranded in the shit hole with people that will burn them alive, but this debacle will be historical and generational.
This is not a news cycle event that the msm can 'disappear it' into oblivion.
The demonRATs will live with this betrayal of an ally for decades, and even with ballot stuffing, they are going to be in trouble in the coming elections.
Obama traded terrorist prisoners for a traitor.
Hillary abandoned Americans to die in Benghazi.
Biden abandoned Americans to die in Afghanistan.
Anyone see a pattern here?
It is a wee bit comforting to see that VP Kamala Harris recognizes it for what it is.
I'll do my job and take responsibility. I won't blame others. Joe Biden 6/4/2020
If you still hate trump after the sh__ show we've been living with for the last seven months your commitment to stupidity is impressive.
