Brian Williams Slapped with Unwelcome Afghanistan Truth Bomb by Guest
Newsbusters ^ | August 17, 2021 | P.J. Gladnick

It was probably the most intense encounter Brian Williams has had since his helicopter in Iraq was NOT hit by an RPG. Following Joe Biden's speech on Monday about the disastrous exit from Afghanistan, Williams, as expected, rushed to praise Biden. However, when he turned to his guest, former CIA analyst and Afghanistan war vet Matt Zeller, he must have been shocked that far from concurring with Williams' narrative, he strongly denounced Biden's poorly planned exit from Afghanistan.

First Brian led off with "I am curious to hear your reaction of this consequential speech by the American president. Didn't run from it, he owned it. He owned his decision. He owned the fact that, as he put it, the buck stops with him."

And that led to the reaction from Zeller that Williams probably didn't expect, especially at a network such as MSNBC; complete disagreement. Zeller led off by taking on Williams' reference to how Biden "owned it" with this sharp retort, "I hope he gets to own their deaths too."

It must have been a shock to poor Brian Williams since MSNBC is infamous for stifling opinions that don't subscribe to their official narrative.

Williams was powned. (Where did that come from? I haven’t used that word forever.)

Biden showed his great concern for Afghanistan by flying off to Camp David for a nice nap.

this consequential speech by the American president

Two wrongs don't make a premise right. This was inconsequential, he never addressed the primary issue, the botched withdraw. 2nd, he's not the real American President, the election was stolen. Lastly, his dementia is so bad he can no longer field unrehearsed press questions.

That guy Zeller is full of sh!t. It's hard to believe he'd admit that he was happy to vote for Joe Biden last year. Biden was a corrupt, incompetent loser for almost 50 years before he ran for president, and by 2020 he was also a dementia-addled, retarded fool as well.

Nothing about that interview passes the smell test to me. It sounds more like a D.C. Swamp A-hole doing his best to pretend the bureaucracy that has employed him for years had nothing to do with the fiasco in Afghanistan.

Helicopter Brian on Biden : “ He ( Biden ) didn’t run from it. He owned it “.

That’s why Slow Joe hastily made a stage-left exit, after his ear-piece message on Afghanistan, without taking any questions.

Exactly. Anyone who is of the opinion that Biden botched the departure from Afghanistan would not be proud that they voted for him. They may have voted for him but they would be ashamed of it now

Beware the idea of a truth bomb on MS-NBC. This guest was pushing what would/likely will end up being hundreds of thousands of under/unvetted Islamists. Just what our imploding country needs.

its like all that stanky water he drank in New Orleans during hurricane Katrina is causing Williams a relapse of sorts.

>> Williams: “he owned it !!!”

Was that before or after Joseph Stolen described the Afghanis as cowardly losers?

Williams is a Comcast bitch.

Did anyone notice the arrogant, condescending, know it all voice in which he said this? Nauseating!

That comment struck me, as well. I wonder if it escaped instead of being deliberately stated.

Good but news busters left out video of Williams reaction

ABC viewers need to see this kind of reaction. They are brains
Washed and need to snap out of it

The media will blame Biden for a few days, then blame Trump.

Correct, we do not need any more muslim refugees, unless your agenda is the destruction of America. (which does seem to be the plan)
