WH Struggles to defend Biden lie about advice on troops in Afghanistan

[Counselor706]

The White House admitted Tuesday that President Joe Biden did get advice from the military to leave troops in Afghanistan — despite the president repeatedly claiming in an interview with ABC News that he did not.

Biden’s lie was exposed in a Senate Armed Forces Committee hearing with Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Gen. Mark Milley, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, and Commander of U.S. Central Command Gen. Kenneth McKenzie.

"I recommended that we maintain 2,500 troops in Afghanistan,” McKenzie said in response to questions about his advice to Biden on troop levels.

Biden repeatedly lied about the advice he got from military commenters on troop levels.

Afghanistan is over and done with now. It has no more lasting relevance than the Russia-collusion story. Why keep bringing up this shit?

Afghanistan is just beginning. There are still thousands of citizens and green card holders there who want out, but who have been abandoned by our forgetful Prez.

Nobody seems to know who or where they are. And nobody cares including you.

You continue your unbroken streak of error.

And don't think we won't hand Joe's "leave no one behind" lie around the necks of that dirty gang you call a Party.

It's not going to make any difference in the midterms.
