Biden claims he’s heard NO indication that Americans can’t get to the Kabul airport safely, then LIES when challenged on it

by The Right Scoop

Biden today claimed that he’s gotten no indication that Americans in Kabul can’t get to the airport safely, claiming the Taliban is letting them through:

Note that this reporter is asking Biden if he will send troops out into Kabul to evacuate Americans who haven’t been able to get to the airport safely. This will be important in a minute.

So in his response, Biden is putting all of his faith in the Taliban, claiming that they are letting Americans through to the airport safely. But of course this isn’t true and we’ve been reporting on it all week.

Biden was challenged on this answer here by a different reporter from NPR, who told Biden that this doesn’t square with the images we are seeing at the airport and the reporting from reporters in Kabul who are describing chaos and violence. He asks Biden “are you saying unequivocally that any American who wants to get to the airport is getting there?”

 
Biden responds by saying: “I thought the question was how can they get through to the airport outside the airport.”

But that’s clearly not true. The prior reporter was asking him if he’d authorize sending troops into Kabul to evacuate Americans who haven’t been able to get to the airport. That question couldn’t have been more clear and his answer was clearly a response to it. But now Biden claims he thought the question was about getting people into the airport who are already outside the airport????

I don’t know whether Biden is only lying or if his dementia is also kicking in. But his answer here is abysmal. He got called on the carpet for his lies and he ran away from it like he was a gazelle being chased by a lion.

On Biden’s answer to the original question, an ABC News reported called it breathtaking, noting that they had Americans in Kabul telling them last night that they could not get to the airport:

CNN’s Clarissa Ward also torched Biden’s answer on this too, saying it’s very difficult to get to the airport:

And one last one…

 
Biden also denied that he has been criticized from our partners and allies around the world:

I haven’t covered this aspect as much as others, but all reports are that this is blatantly not true either.

 
Biden also claimed that Al-Qaeda isn’t in Afghanistan any longer:

Jack Keane came on Fox News and said that’s not true either. Also, remember the Afghan lady screaming at Biden last night? She told him that the Taliban and Al Qaeda are BEST FRIENDS and she’s not wrong:

 
Biden spewed more lies, but this post is long enough. I’ll just mention this one last thing, that Biden called on reporters from a LIST and he only called on five different news outlets, none of which were Fox News:
