Joe Biden evacuated our military from Afghanistan before he evacuated American citizens. Biden left millions and millions of dollars in military weapons, equipment, and aircraft behind. Biden is poised to leave thousands of Americans behind, too.
But according to the Democratic Party, Biden is doing a fantastic job. In fact, Biden has “defied expectations” and has delivered results in Afghanistan.
“President Biden has defied expectations and exceeded even his own administration’s goal in successfully ramping up evacuations from Afghanistan,” the Democratic National Committee said in a statement released on Tuesday. “Not only has President Biden evacuated nearly 60,000 people from Kabul with no American casualties, but he has taken the steps necessary to finally end a 20-year long war, bring Americans home, and keep our promise to our Afghan partners.”
We all expect the Democratic National Committee to spin things in their favor, but this statement takes gaslighting to a whole new level.
“Despite initial doubts on President Biden’s leadership and ability to evacuate 50,000 people from Afghanistan in two weeks… President Biden exceeded expectations and successfully ramped up evacuations — evacuating over 50,000 in only 10 days,” the statement continues.
Umm, really? I’d love to believe those figures, but something is horribly wrong.
On Tuesday, a leaked State Department cable with evacuation numbers reflected a very different situation.
According to the cable, which was first reported on by Politico’s Alex Ward, the number of evacuations is 26,582 as of midnight on August 23, 2021.
NEW: Leaked State cable with evacuation numbers (as of Aug 23 at 1500 ET):
Total manifested since midnight Kabul AUG 23: 483 AMCITS, 6,425 Afghans natls, 8 3rd country/unknown. Total = 6,916
Total manifested since op began: 4,407 AMCITS, 21,533 Afghans, 642 TCNs. Total = 26,582

Where did the DNC get its 60,000 figure from? Well, what do you know! They’re coming from the White House!
Biden national security officials last week set goal of evacuating 5K-9K per day from Afghanistan
this morning, WH says 21,600 were flown out of Kabul in last 24 hours – 12,700 on US military flights, 8,900 on allied coalition flights
total evacuees in last 10 days: 58,700

Not only are these numbers inconsistent with the State Department cable, but they are also incredibly inflated compared to what Biden announced over the weekend.
“As of this morning, we have evacuated nearly 28,000 people since August the 14th, on both U.S. and coalition aircraft, including civilian charters, bringing the total number of people we have evacuated since July to approximately 33,000 persons,” Biden said on Sunday.
So on Sunday, Biden said we’ve evacuated 33,000 people since July, but the White House now says we’ve evacuated nearly 60,000 in just the past ten days.
Does anyone else find that suspicious?
Others in the Democratic Party are repeating the bogus numbers. “In fact, it didn’t take 2 weeks to evacuate 50,000. It took 10 days,” Senator Christ Murphy (D-Conn.) tweeted in response to initial skepticism from the media about the Biden administration’s evacuation goals. “Lots of work still to do, but it might be time for a bit of a reassessment by the media of this operation given the actual results.”

Actually, I think the media needs to get some clarification as to what the official numbers are. Why does the State Department say that we’ve evacuated just under 27,000 people since mid-August, while the White House is claiming it’s 58,700? The 58,700 number from the White House has been widely reported, but the leaked State Department cable raises serious questions about the veracity of the White House figures. Worse yet, why is it that according to the State Department’s numbers, only 4,400 of the 27,000 people who’ve been evacuated have been American citizens? This suggests that we’re not prioritizing American citizens in the evacuation efforts.
Yes, they are lying.
If he is telling the truth it will be the first time in his life. SO I will have to say NO.
i am a senior citizen and have experienced quite a few Presidents.
Biden is by far the most incompetent fool to ever hold the office.
Inconsistency with this Marxist administration is what we have come to expect. The fact is that the number don’t add up, and they will never add up. The state department and the rest of the administration really don’t have a clue. We know that there will be Americans and allies left behind by this time next week, and there is insufficient plans to evacuate those who this county is responsible for in this entire debacle. It is completely shameful for the United States senior administration.
The Dems have finally done it; actually planning and demonstrating that the USA is not exceptional. It was difficult to do but not even a HS drop out could have possibly done a better more perfect job,to demonstrate to the world how bad and corrupt America is. Thanks Joe
Always lying: They believe us peons can’t handle the truth! Or their just as stupid as they seem!!!!!
They are beyond stupid.
It’s no surprise,The Dems lie every time they open their mouths.Look at all the lies they spread during Trumps administration,and they weren’t even in power.So if you think it will be different with them in power,I’m sorry to have to tell ya,that the lies are just getting bigger now.To them,China is their example of a perfect government and they are well on their way.Fasten your seatbelt and hang on.It’s going to be a wild ride.Good luck
Is anything that comes out of the white house the truth? This IS a rhetorical question.
The fools who are buying the Biden BS are gong to cause the fall of this country. These are the same people who allowed and went along with German NAZIs, Russian Marxist, Chinese Marxists, North Korean Marxist and every other country unfortunate enough to turn to Marxist ideology.
Their mouths are moving, so yes.
That’s all DemonRATS know how to do!
Given their previous actions of counting fake ballots, I’m sure they are counting every person they see and claiming them as “American” evacuees. No need for them to actually validate the numbers since lying seems to work well for them.
Biden Iies….Psaki Iies….Harris Iies….PeIosi Iies…….Democrats Iie and the MEDIA reports it aII as the TRUTH….the American Media is the enemy!
“Biden has “defied expectations” ”
I wonder just what the “expectations” were.
Anything above “0” is defying expectations.
Is he question meant as a joke?
