Remember when Biden was interviewed by ABC News, not even two weeks ago, and Biden promised to stay and get all American citizens out if there were any left? Here’s that full exchange:
On evacuating Americans left in Afghanistan past the August deadline:
Biden said, “if there's American citizens left, we're gonna stay to get them all out.”
Two hours earlier, Defense Sec. Austin said that the US would stay “until the clock runs out.”pic.twitter.com/FTV72FJLEs

It comes at the very end of the clip after Stephanopoulos had to keep pushing Biden over and over to say specifically what he’d do if the US couldn’t get all American citizens out by the 31st.
Biden finally said: “If there’s American citizens left, we’re gonna stay to get them all out.”
Yep, that turned out to be another lie. CNN’s Kaitlan Collins said Biden’s going to have to answer for this tomorrow in his speech:
CNN’s Kaitlan Collins: In a recent interview with ABC News, Joe Biden said "US troops would remain on the ground until every single American who wanted to leave Afghanistan had left Afghanistan" but “the bottom line is there are still Americans in Afghanistan who want to leave.” pic.twitter.com/fUr7LowfWW
