Biden Makes False Claims About Control at the Kabul Airport, Even CNN Calls Him Out

ABC has now released more videos from their interview with Joe Biden last night.

The new video is as combative and delusional as I wrote about last night.

George Stephanopoulos asks Biden about chaos at the airport and Biden responds that they have control of the airport now, that “no one is being killed right now.”

Forget about those people who died at the airport, that was “four days ago, five days ago.” It was two and a half days ago, Joe. So the lives of those people who died because of this crazy lack of a plan that you had shouldn’t matter if it’s four or five days ago? This is the guy the Democrats pitched as the nice guy, the caring guy, the uniter.

Not to mention all the chaos that is still happening now. They may have control of the airport inside but they don’t have control of the airport outside where there are all kinds of horror and people being attacked. Again, not the fault of the boots on the ground, the fault of Biden for leaving them in this condition. Even if he miraculously got everyone out instantly now, it would still have been a monumental screw-up. Unfortunately, it’s not clear that everyone can get through to the airport, but Joe doesn’t even seem to understand that. And how dare you question him about it! That’s more his attitude. His own people have said there is no plan to get the Americans stuck outside of Kabul.

As we reported there have been people being whipped and beaten along the road to the airport.

Chaos right outside the walls with the Taliban shooting.

Babies are being tossed over the walls to the waiting U.S. and U.K. military to save them.

From NY Post:

“The mothers were desperate, they were getting beaten by the Taliban. They shouted, ‘Save my baby!’ and threw the babies at us. Some of the babies fell on the barbed wire,” a Parachute Regiment officer told the UK’s Independent.

“It was awful what happened. By the end of the night there wasn’t one man among us who was not crying,” he added quietly.

His claim about how they are getting people out now – the facts are they are getting out far less than they could be, likely because of the chaos to get through to even get into the airport.

A White House official said late Wednesday that approximately 1,800 people had been evacuated on 10 C-17 flights over the prior 24 hours, far from the 5,000 to 9,000 people the Pentagon estimated could be evacuated in a day if all was going smoothly.

Even CNN’s Clarissa Ward is rebutting Joe Biden on the situation on the ground. “A lot of people outside that airport…would like to know: If this isn’t failure, what does failure look like exactly?”

CNN reporter responds to Biden saying Afghanistan withdrawal was not a “failure.”

Perhaps it depends on what the meaning of ‘right now’ is.

Sen. Cotton was just on fox saying the Taliban is outside the airport perimeter beating peope and confiscating their passports and visas....the kicker is the US military has been instructed to remain within the airport perimeter and not intervene.

I gotta say though, If Bill Clinton or Barack Obama had said such pure nonsense the media would have run with it and lots and lots of Americans would have believed it and said anyone saying otherwise is a partisan hater conspiracy theory wingnut.

It's just that Biden is such a mess that even the crazy lefties know that everything he says is 50% lies mixed with 50% delusion.

At least Baghdad Bob presented himself pleasantly. Biden is and always has been a mean SOB. What people are seeing in that Stephanopolous interview is the real Joe Biden, the way he has been his entire life. Mean, vindictive, vicious, entitled, malicious, cold, calculating, and deeply corrupt. And those are his good qualities.

cuooomo was made to resign for less. So what’s happening with biden is unfolding according to plan. The dems are all OK with the plan, or they would be outraged over what biden did. They’re on board with puppet man, so they accept, second, and fully ratify what biden has done.

CNN must have been tipped that it’s time to gush about the “historic” Kamala Presidency and later how “every woman in America feels the pride that they are, in a way, with her as she takes the oath of office up there.”

We suffered through the Kenyan Obama’s “historic” election.

We’ve suffered enough history.

I have to admit that the Taliban does seem rather reserved so far. I keep expecting to read about a blood bath reach morning but miraculously, it’s isn’t happening. YET.
Does anyone else feel like the other shoe is about to be dropped any moment?

I’m amazed CNN would object to being lied to by Democrats - that’s their stock in trade.

Maybe they’ve been told to get ready for CommieLa..

He’s essentially saying...,
“At this point, what difference does it make?”

I mean it worked for Hillary, right?

The same people who tried to morally blackmail you into supporting a failed Forever War in Afghanistan—the ones who declared that you were either on board with the new international interventionist imperative or you were with the terrorists—are now trying to morally blackmail you into supporting open borders with Afghanistan and every other country that America’s incompetent elites thought they could turn into Stepford if only they invaded it hard enough. In truth, the entire foundation of the Washington establishment’s failed foreign policy is its members’ own feelings of guilt.

(Excerpt) Read more at americanmind.org ...

Anyone missing me, yet?

Arguments can be made about the US policy to pull out - there is a strong feeling that US involvement couldn't continue ad infinitum. But the manner of the withdrawal has been hapless, with a mass of miscalculation, warnings ignored, and - critically - a wild over-estimation of the capability of the American-trained Afghan armed forces.

The policy may have been framed by Donald Trump when he was president, but Joe Biden owns this unfolding chaos.

Anyone missing me, yet?
