ABC News ^ | August 19,2021

STEPHANOPOULOS: I-- I think a lot of-- a lot of Americans, and a l-- even a lot of veterans who served in Afghanistan agree with you on the big, strategic picture. They believe we had to get out. But I wonder how you respond to an Army Special Forces officer, Javier McKay (PH). He did seven tours. He was shot twice. He agrees with you. He says, "We have to cut our losses in Afghanistan." But he adds, "I just wish we could've left with honor."

BIDEN: Look, that's like askin' my deceased son Beau, who spent six months in Kosovo and a year in Iraq as a Navy captain and then major-- I mean, as an Army major. And, you know, I'm sure h-- he had regrets comin' out of Afganista-- I mean, out of Iraq.

He had regrets to what's-- how-- how it's going. But the idea-- what's the alternative? The alternative is why are we staying in Afghanistan? Why are we there? Don't you think that the one-- you know who's most disappointed in us getting out? Russia and China. They'd love us to continue to have to--

Is this the actual, FULL transcript? Funny thing- the morning after the taping, Hugh Hewitt (not huge fan- radio driving to work) said, we MUST hear the FULL transcript. He said Stephanopoulos has to release it for the public. It was strange- he was hammering the point- and had obvious knowledge about it.

First question from Stephanopoulos was actually
“Who is taller? Fauci or me? You’ve seen us both up close.”

Fun fact:
Stephanopoulos donated $25,000 in 2012, 2013, and 2014, a total of $75,000, to the Clinton Foundation, but did not disclose the donations to ABC News, his employer, or to his viewers. Stephanopoulos failed to reveal the donations even on April 26, 2015, while interviewing Peter Schweizer, the author of Clinton Cash, a book which alleges that donations to the Foundation influenced some of Hillary Clinton’s actions as Secretary of State. After exposure of the donations by Politico on May 14, 2015, Stephanopoulos apologized and admitted he should have disclosed the donations to ABC News and its viewers. The story was broken by The Washington Free Beacon, which had questioned ABC News regarding the matter. The donations had been reported by the Clinton Foundation, which Stephanopoulos had considered sufficient, a reliance ABC News characterized as “an honest mistake.”

Note: supposedly George is 5ft.4in. and Fauci claims to be 5ft.7in. I wonder. Check both for elevator shoe linings and Cuban heels.

instead of answering questions from the press, he just goes to Georgie for a few softballs and calls it a day?

Keeps milking the dead son Beau thing, doesn’t he? Doesn’t justify how he abandoned thousands of Americans to the Taliban.

Biden cites a mutual defense treaty that Jimmy Carter ended more than 40 years ago.

He has Alzheimer’s.

This is actual proof.
