The Taliban have largely regained control of Afghanistan once again following the withdrawal of American troops from the region, a devastating end to 20 years' worth of war that cost hundreds of thousands of lives and nearly a trillion dollars.

CNN international correspondent Clarissa Ward is currently on the ground in Kabul, where the Taliban has overtaken the presidential palace and begun retaliation campaigns toward Afghans who worked against the radical group.


Ward noted the militants were chanting "Death to America" with a friendly disposition, calling it "utterly bizarre."

Jack Posobiec, one of the most vocal purveyors of the debunked Pizzagate conspiracy theory that Hillary Clinton operated a child sex trafficking ring inside a D.C. pizzeria, shared a misleading clip of the scene.

Watch below.

Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas—a frequent trafficker in social media spats—eagerly shared the video in an attempt to smear CNN for supposedly cheerleading enemies of America.

It wasn't long before CNN's official public relations account responded, and didn't pull punches.

The network noted that Ward was "risking her life to tell the world what's happening" instead of "running off to Cancun in tough times," alluding to one of Cruz's greatest scandals.

When his state of Texas suffered brutal winter storms that decimated its independent power grid this past February, Cruz left with his family to escape to sunny Cancún, Mexico while millions of his constituents were left without power in the freezing cold. At least 57 people died.

The clapback made waves on social media.




They commended the account that shared the devastating comeback.





Cruz has been uncharacteristically unresponsive.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
