Harris Campaign: It's Trump's Fault That We Screwed Up The Afghanistan Withdrawal

Posted • September 9, 2024: Clearly having taken damage from recently disparaging gold star families, the Harris camp tried to reverse course by claiming it was Trump's fault they botched the Afghanistan withdrawal so colossally. We kid you not. The Harris campaign is blaming the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal on Donald Trump, arguing that he “left the Biden-Harris Administration with zero plans for an orderly withdrawal.” Comes as Trump has ramped up his criticism of the administration over the withdrawal & the deadly Abbey Gate terrorist attack: https://x.com/ShelbyTalcott/status/1832492366919500232 -- Really breathe that one and sit with it for a moment. Allow the absurdity to permeate your brain. Donald Trump, the man they call a traitor, a racist, an existential threat to democracy, the man who would be a dictator on day one … the guy who is literally going to terminate the Consitution and end elections in America … that guy, didn't leave them a plan.

Not convinced that many minds will change - though notable that they are starting to try and counter Trump’s attacks, as it suggests they’re feeling some heat on the issue.

One thing the campaign of Kamala Harris has revealed more than anything else is the gaping black hole of nothingness in place of what should be an army of professional journalists, determined to inform the American people about the choice they face in November. Biden said on July 8, 2021, that it wasn’t inevitable that the Taliban would take over. Harris was proud to be the last one in the room. Later, generals testified that Biden didn’t listen to their advice. But Trump’s fault. If the media has their way, Harris and Walz will 'but Trump' their way into the White House. If Biden had a plan in 2007 to get out of Afghanistan then why did he fumble it so badly almost 2 decades later? (…)
