Now his handlers and the Democratic Party are urging Americans and, of course, the media to "Move on." But there is no moving on from his botched departure from Kabul, whose ill effects will be felt by Americans for decades.
The new talking point is that "Only" 100 or so Americans may have been left behind, despite Biden's explicit promise that none would be.
While the administration, in one of the epic political spin jobs ever, lauds itself for its evacuation efforts, the truth is it likely left far more Americans and deserving Afghans in Kabul than estimated.
"In fact, while only 5,400 or so Americans were brought to safety, only about 8,500 SIV holders were rescued, with the vast majority left behind," RedState reports.
Late Monday heart sank as he heard that the final U.S. flights had left Kabul's airport, followed by the blistering staccato sound of Taliban gunfire, celebrating what they saw as their victory over America.
"I am absolutely appalled and literally horrified we left Americans there," an administration official told Politico, on the condition he not be named.
As for those non-Americans who did make it out, why were they prioritized over American citizens and those with Special Immigrant Visas? And why are private groups now having to run daring rescues of our own citizens, something it's our government's sworn job to do under the Constitution?
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
