'That was four or five days ago!' Biden snaps at George Stephanopoulos for mentioning photos of Afghans falling from planes in Kabul and suggests there's no way America could have gotten out 'without chaos ensuing'

President Joe Biden angrily defended his handling of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, saying on Wednesday that chaos was unavoidable and snapping when asked about horrific images of Afghans falling from planes.
'That was four days ago, five days ago,' he said, even though the images of people falling to their deaths emerged on Monday.
The combative moment came during an interview with former Clinton White House official George Stephanopoulos for ABC News.
Biden has avoided taking questions on the Afghanistan crisis for more than a week.
The White House has been on the defensive for weeks as Taliban fighters raced across the country.
And officials have struggled to explain how they failed to forecast the rapid fall of Kabul and to account for chaotic scenes at the city's airport as the embassy was evacuated.

Biden hollered fire in a crowded theater, started this s-—storm, and he sits there and says it was 4-5 days ago, like everything’s just fine now...

It's a condition called ‘’senior agitation’’. Saw lots of elderly people react like this when I worked in nursing homes.
Gets worse over time. Even with medication. And if we have a president who is either on or going to be on psychotropic medication that would make him medically unfit to be president.

“At this point in time, what possible difference can it make.”

Her debacle in her on stage debut with the border made her damaged goods...they probably want to continue propping up Biden after seeing that.

Don't worry, I'm sure it will all work out fine. All the Afghans who worked with and for us will be abandoned to near-certain death, and unvetted Afghan terrorists will be evac'd right straight into our neighborhoods, then supplied with weapons, at the same time the Demagogic Party tries to destroy the firearms industry in the US and disarm American citizens.

George Stephanopoulos knew Biden was in mental decline 10 months ago when he was pushing for Biden’s election.
Seems democrat thugs are preparing us for the new lie.... the next violent incompetent they want us to accept (or else) for President.
