Joe Biden crumbled when confronted by reporters with the deaths of 13 troops and 90 people who were slaughtered at Kabul airport on Thursday by two ISIS bomb attacks in the latest tragic episode of his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
The 78-year-old President was lost for words at times and and frustrated in others, gripping his notebook and widening his eyes while reporters from a pre-approved list asked him questions for about 30 minutes.
The press conference was at 5pm, nearly eight hours after the two blasts. Biden said nothing all day before the briefing.
When pressed, accepted responsibility for the violence but still stood by his decision to withdraw troops hastily while thousands of Americans remained in the country.
He then tried to blame it all on former President Donald Trump, who made the initial decision to withdraw.
Trump has since claimed the attacks on Thursday would not have happened on his watch, because ISIS and the Taliban were too afraid of the force he would use in retaliation. He has also slammed Biden's team for giving the Taliban a list of Afghan allies they said should be evacuated, calling it a 'kill list' for a group of terrorists who may end up killing them in revenge for their cooperation with the US in the war.
Biden has vowed to hunt down the killers responsible but in the meantime, he still has to get nearly 1,000 Americans out of the country before August 31 - a deadline the Taliban is insisting on.
He didn't know about the kill list when asked at the press conference, but said it 'could exist'.
As has become the norm for Biden, he was given a list of pre-approved journalists to call upon at the press briefing.

Furious at the realization that the liberal progressive establishment has used him as an American surrender monkey on the world stage? I hope so but doubt he has the intellect to even consider that possibility.
When you challenge Joe Biden you get the I’ll take you out behind the woodshed, I’ll beat you doing push ups, You’re a dog faced pony soldier, c’mon fat, did you see what I did to that bad dude corn pop, here’s the deal (e.g. your stupid), do you even know what the deal was? No. Tell me if your so smart.
His entire career has been unchallenged, but now the world is watching as he clutches his Trapper Keeper and listens for his audio feed.
He can’t hide behind his evil psycho grin anymore which honestly should be a model for the antagonist in a horror film.
The guy is an abject loser and finally people can see it.
“The guy is an abject loser and finally people can see it”
Yep but sadly 13 military personnel too late.
I hope everyone that voted for him is happy.
Harris was made VP to scare anybody that wanted to remove Biden from office. I say do it anyway.
I also watched it love and it was also my impression that he was insulted and mad that a reporter would dare do anything other than kiss his butt
Agreed. The 16th and 17th Amendments fundamentally changed our country in truly destructive ways.
sort of like Hillary crying when she lost a primary back, ...whenever.
Joe is hoping for some sympathy.
I love my trapper keeper.
One of the commenters had it.. “He’s sniffing the mic.”
Plus he’s filled with dementia. But even with that said, as a Senator he simply has no experience leading anything so even in rare lucid moments he is lost and scared.
. . .
From hollow shell to dried out husk in twelve short months.
No. It’s real. Work in a nursing and you’ll see dementia up and you’ll se Biden is a sick man.
I agree. We are dealing up close with dementia right now. The similarities are uncanny.
I can’t stand Biden and he would be just as evil healthy, but he is incapacitated and is not the person running this country.
