WH corrects Biden claim ‘90 percent’ of Americans out of Afghanistan

President Biden appeared to get his math wrong during his address to the nation Tuesday on the withdrawal from Afghanistan by misstating the percentage of Americans who managed to get out of the war-torn country.

In his remarks, Biden proclaimed the chaotic evacuation of Americans, Afghan allies and third-country nationals from Hamid Karzai International Airport outside Kabul to have been an “extraordinary success” and estimated that “about 100 to 200 Americans remain in Afghanistan with some intention to leave,” the same figure quoted by Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday.

“The bottom line: 90 percent of Americans in Afghanistan who wanted to leave were able to leave,” the president said.

However, the official transcript released by the White House replaced the word “Ninety” with a strikethrough and added “Ninety-eight” in parentheses.

Those parents may do something the republican party won’t..

A grieving parent comes to one day and avenged... the one mother said the dem party stole the election which took Trump out.. and they killed her son.

She is right.

Time doesn’t always make the loss easier to take...the fact is, if Trump had been in there.. her son would be stateside today.

A hard circumstance to deal with, for a parent.

There's been a nasty emphasis by both the White House and Department of State about remaining Americans in Afghanistan as holding "dual citizenship" as if hyphenated Americans are lesser Americans.

It's in keeping with the ethos of this benighted administration, but it still is odious and repulsive.

Anything less than 100% is a failure.

Joe Biden has failed.

Ninety was probably not a big enough exaggeration. There are likely over 5,000 hostages left behind.

as if hyphenated Americans are lesser Americans.

According to the Dems, they are - except when time to vote, then they’re twice as American.

African-American
Hispanic-American
Mexican-American
Honduran-American
Haitian-American
(Can’t do Cuban-American, they already know about Communism)
Puerto Rican-American

etc.

But now? Now they embrace Teddy Roosevelt’s mantra “There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism”?

Hypocrites, one and all.

Corrupt media and the talk shows will say: Close enough! Now back to happy talk for Biden and the democrats and lying about everyone else.

Is SNL or the nightly talk shows making fun of Biden?
Any solemn pronouncements from them?...
