Biden vs Reality

Posted byRichard Fernandez
  • Biden said there was ‘no way’ to leave Afghanistan without chaos ensuing, but six weeks ago he said a Taliban takeover was ‘highly unlikely’
  • Biden said US doesn’t have a military presence in Syria, but 900 troops remain 
  • The president took questions from the media for the first time in over a week on Wednesday in an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos 
  • In one bizarre moment, Biden seemingly brushed off Afghani stowaways so desperate to flee they clung to a departing US plane before falling to their death 
President falsely stated US does not have troops in Syria
President Biden attempted to his explain his administration’s decision to stay the course on Afghanistan withdrawal, at times backing up his point with outright falsehoods.
