Yamiche Alcindor on Afghan FIASCO: Biden 'Not Running Away From Responsibility'

It wasn't easy, but we've finally found someone who claims to have believed Biden when in his speech on the Afghanistan fiasco he boasted, "The buck stops with me." And—no surprise—that person is none other than quintessential liberal-media member Yamiche Alcindor of PBS and MSNBC.

On today's Morning Joe, after Willie Geist pressed her hard, twice asking whether the Biden administration understood the gravity of the situation, Biden ally Alcindor responded:

"I think it’s been very clear to me in talking to White House officials that they understood the gravity. This is a 20-year war spanning multiple presidencies. And President Biden didn’t take this decision lightly. It’s why in the speech he said the buck stops with me. He’s not running away from the responsibility."

“This is a 20-year war spanning multiple presidencies.”

This has been the lefts talking point over the last two days.

What do you call a hit-n-run speech without answering any questions? I call it exactly that... evading responsibility.

From the article:

“When his speech ended, Biden retreated back to his vacation in the friendly confines of Catoctin Mountain.”
