‘Utter BS’: Seth Moulton rebukes Biden’s claim that some Afghans ‘did not want to leave earlier’

Rep. Seth Moulton says he was convinced by President Joe Biden’s speech Monday defending the decision to withdraw American troops from Afghanistan, even as the Taliban surged back to take control of the country over the weekend.

However, the Massachusetts Democrat took exception Tuesday to Biden’s argument that the chaotic evacuation of Afghan civilians fleeing their country this week was because some “did not want to leave earlier.”

“That’s utter BS,” Moulton said Tuesday during a press conference in Salem.

“I mean, don’t tell me that Afghans don’t want to leave when there’s been a backlog of Special Immigrant Visa applications for over a decade,” he said. “Don’t tell me they don’t want to leave when they’re literally clinging to airplanes to try to get out of this country. That was the single part of the president’s speech that I not only disagreed with but I thought was just utter BS.”

I remember when the USSR started to go real fast from 89-91. I expect biden to disappear for ‘health reasons’ before too long.

maybe they wanted to chase a plane down a runway or fall out of a wheel well instead.

Prediction:
Politifact will find this FALSE. “We found 2 Afghanis that say they didn’t want to leave earlier.”
