Former President Donald Trump fired back at the ‘morons in the White House’ who tried to pin the blame on the debacle in Kabul on him, not the guy who was in charge during the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Trump said: “These Morons in the White House, who are systematically destroying our Country, headed up by the biggest Moron of them all, Hopeless Joe Biden, have a new disinformation game they are playing – Blame ‘TRUMP’ for their grossly incompetent SURRENDER in Afghanistan.
“I watched this disaster unfold just like everyone else. I saw them take out the Military FIRST, GIVE $85 Billion of military equipment, allow killing of our soldiers, and leave Americans behind. Biden is responsible, no one else!”
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said:
“While it was always the president’s intent to end that war, it is also undeniable that decisions made and the lack of planning done by the previous administration significantly limited the options available.
“Thus, President Biden’s choice was stark: either withdraw all our forces or resume fighting with the Taliban. He chose the former.
“Despite having his options curtailed, President Biden led a deliberate, rigorous and inclusive decision-making process that was responsive to facts on the ground.
“In fact, President Biden directed his top national security leaders to begin planning for withdrawal even before he had made the final decision to leave Afghanistan.
“There were some assessments passed to him that proved faulty, that proved to be wrong, that proved to not shake out the way he had been given to understand that they would.”
Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) said:
“Did he not see people hanging onto a C17 and falling to their deaths?
“REALLY!?
“He should tell this to the families of the 13 brave service members who lost their lives. SICKENING!!”
