Month-Old Video Shows Trump Taking Credit for Afghanistan Withdrawal—and Now It’s Awkward

\u201cI started the process, all the troops are coming home, they (Biden) couldn\u2019t stop the process. 21 years is enough. They (Biden) couldn\u2019t stop the process, they (Biden) wanted to but couldn\u2019t stop the process.\u201d\n\n- Trump, 1 month agopic.twitter.com/9UPPbseyiI

Short memories in the GOP. This is a good time to work together to protect Afghan allies & prevent renewed terrorist organization & assess foreign policy failures (no surprise to students of the history of the region), for which there's plenty of blame to go around, afterwards.https://twitter.com/theNuzzy/status/1427051039404957697\u00a0\u2026

A timely reminder to all the Magas criticising Biden, this is who should be the main focus of blame #Afghanistanhttps://twitter.com/thenuzzy/status/1427051039404957697\u00a0\u2026

No matter what Biden would have done, the mango mussolini would have criticized him. It's so convenient to pretend that you're not completely contradicting yourself and saying the complete opposite of what you said. Hypocrisy is the glue that binds the GOP. \n\n#DemVoice1https://twitter.com/theNuzzy/status/1427051039404957697\u00a0\u2026

How quick Republicans will blame this on Biden. He has alot to be blamed for as do all past Presidents including this dumbo!!! #TrumpIsALaughingStock He let 5000 Taliban out of jail for 3 month ceasefire. #TrumpsTaliban Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield all have blood on their hands too!https://twitter.com/theNuzzy/status/1427051039404957697\u00a0\u2026

To those partisan point-scoring about Afghanistan: The occupation began with W Bush & spanned 3 more admins from both parties. \n\nThe withdrawal was agreed to by Trump & executed by Biden. \n\nThis is the result of decades of failed US foreign policy, not any one party or President.https://twitter.com/thenuzzy/status/1427051039404957697\u00a0\u2026

We have a moral obligation to the Afghan people. The U.S. role in this crisis is indisputable. We must waste no time or expense in helping refugees safely & swiftly leave Afghanistan. We must immediately welcome them to the U.S. & provide real support as they rebuild their lives.

The United States has a moral obligation. Admit as many Afghan refugees as possible.

Following the Vietnam War, our country welcomed 120,000 refugees in a single year.\n\nYet the United States has only taken in ~2,000 Afghan refugees thus far.\n\nWe have a duty to save lives \u2014 and to do so, we must welcome many, many more refugees as quickly as possible.
