BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – White House press secretary Jen Psaki grew visibly annoyed during the press briefing when she was asked whether President Biden was aware that most of the criticism against the Afghanistan withdrawal was about Americans being “stranded” in Kabul.
“Does the president have a sense that most of the criticism is not of leaving Afghanistan? It’s the way that he has ordered it to happen by pulling the troops before getting these Americans who are now stranded. Does he have a sense of that?” Fox News’ White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked.
Psaki said it was “irresponsible” to say that Americans are stranded in Afghanistan. “I think it’s irresponsible to say Americans are stranded. They are not. The word ‘stranded’ suggest that they are on al island. They are in a country hiding, to avoid getting beaten up and killed, but they are not surrounded by water, go check out a map!”
