In the leadup to Tuesday night's presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, a separate debate is occurring in Washington over who was at fault for the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.
During a Monday afternoon press briefing, White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby spoke to reporters about the 2021 withdrawal, and argued that Biden's hands were tied by policies of the previous administration.
"The Trump administration cut a deal called the Doha Agreement that mandated a complete U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan," Kirby said. "And, yes, that included Bagram Air Base by the end of May 2021."

They think we are stupid.
They think we are stupid.
I’m unsurprised , it’s a democrat thing they’ve been doing for decades.
More blatant lying, that the press will no doubt march right along with.
John Kirby, a man who should know better, proves himself to be a total whore.
That attack on Pearl Harbor? Also Trump’s fault.
What I heard was that Trump tried to get the withdraw all done before he left office and the military ignored him.

Information on what Trump’s actual plan was.
Not only without evidence, but in contradiction of real evidence and analysis of same.
Incorrigible.
Unbelievable
It is Unbelievable, but it’s not.
The White House has been blaming Trump for Afghan exit before they even made the blunder.
Never really heard the response from the Trump team but it’s no secret it happened under Biden’s watch and not Trump’s.
So, then...
...’gaslighting’ is the name of game for the final stretch?
Well, sarcasm aside, it’s rather fitting for their target audience, is it not???
It’s too late for them to gaslight the viewers on that.
Yeah, they had 3 years to (unjustifiably ) blame Trump, but they do so on the eve a the only debate, knowing that Trump is going to SCHLONG Kamala on this issue - just so she can hit back. I don’t think that anyone who is the least bit informed will buy this BS.
No.
This reflects my mantra re ‘the true pandemic.’
They KNOW their target audience is stupid, and it ain’t Conservatives.
It is hard to believe they think they can get away with this.
…and, yet, they still didn’t want to meet the families. Hmmm…
The deal included a stipulation that the Taliban behave themselves.
Talking points of the “moderators”
