WOW, I thought I had seen it all folks, but I guess I was wrong!
Biden came out of hiding the other day to spew some deep state nonsense that had this thesis: “none of this is my fault, always blame Trump, build, back, better”.
I thought that his statements were the worst things he could have said at a time like this, but then Nancy Pelosi comes out of nowhere with the most politically tone deaf thing since “let them eat cake”.
Pelosi PRAISED Biden for Afghanistan.
It’s one thing to get up there and say empty words to try to shift blame from yourself to someone else, I get it—we’re all human and self-preservation is our M.O.
It’s another thing entirely to come out and say things which are completely false and completely absurd in the face of a national outrage…… just to protect a guy everyone is infuriated with.
One is about survival, the other implies little self gain and assumes that we are beyond stupid.
You either have to be willfully tone deaf, or be suffering from some sort of cognitive impairment like Dementia, to be able to stand in front of America and the world to say these things:
White House talking points on Afghanistan that @SpeakerPelosi is circulating to House Democrats:

The U.S., the international community and the Afghan government must do everything we can to protect women and girls from inhumane treatment by the Taliban. As we strive to assist them, we must recognize that their voices are important and respect their culture.

Congress shares the President's concern for Afghans who have assisted U.S. efforts in country. Most of all, we join the President in acknowledging the sacrifices of our men and women in uniform and their families. Read my full statement here: https://t.co/QFyrqTcuGe

The stunning absurdity was reported by Breitbart:
Pelosi responded to a question on whether the U.S. should have had a stronger military force during the transition by stating:
“Well, first, may I just say that I commend the president for the action that he took. It was strong. It was decisive. And it was the right thing to do. We should have been out of Afghanistan a while back. But now, we are —unfortunately, one of the possibilities was that it would be in disarray, as it is. But that has to be corrected.

The Hill wasn’t shy about calling Pelosi out either:
The talking points, sent from the Speaker’s office, underscore how politically perilous Pelosi and other party leaders view the Afghanistan issue as Democrats try to defend their narrow majority in the 2022 midterms. Republicans only need to flip a handful of seats to win back control.
As Kabul swiftly fell, Republicans in both the House and the Senate lashed out at Biden for his handling of the U.S. withdrawal, one negotiated last year by his predecessor, Donald Trump. Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) questioned whether Biden should be removed from office by invoking the 25th Amendment.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who has his eye on the Speakership, tweeted a viral video of desperate Afghans trying to cling to the outside of an American plane as it left the runway.
