Joe Biden is not the only Democrat who makes you feel “huh?” by saying unbelievable things. As i reported, He said a bunch of strangely incoherent words about climate change during his earlier visits to New Jersey and New York.
Now, we know that he and other Democrats lied a lot, especially the Biden team on the issue of Afghanistan.
But the Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) told such a lie that almost made people hold their breath, especially because he called God in the middle. He claimed that every American who “thinked up” had already gone out.

So we have two choices here: Either the Democrats lied too much about this matter, or they even managed to convince Schumer with absurd remarks of “thinking it out” and “don’t want to come out.” Or he just lay down, but he was used to doing this, not being named by the media, he didn’t even think about it. I will go with the second one.
This will be the moment when the fact checker screams: wrong! Even Biden and his gang admit that at least 100 Americans are still trapped. Most other Americans understand that even the suggested number is far below reality, and the Bidens are playing down it to make themselves look better. But Schumer went even further and zeroed it out, which was very despicable, especially when they were still trapped.
So how did Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler react to this? Did he call out Schumer and blame him for his lies? Not that much.
In fact, he Act like a stenographer Or the public relations staff in the senator’s office repeated their claim that Schumer was “wrong” on this issue.
Schumer said in a TV interview: “Americans [in Afghanistan], All the people who thought up came out, praising God. “A spokesman for Schumer: “He was wrong and regrets the confusion caused by his remarks…” 1/2 https://t.co/IRUfhb8Kfq

“… He intends to say that, as he has been saying, the United States will let all those who want to leave. He will continue to work with the Biden administration to help all who want to leave.” 2/2

“He wants to say?” Sorry, no. The misreading may be the wrongly named airport-say Kabul instead of Mazar-e-Sharif. To say that every American has gone out and then thank God for that-when it didn’t happen-is not “speaking the wrong thing.” This is lying. So why didn’t Kessler say that Schumer lied/not even said it was fake, just said it bluntly. Or again, will the Democrats always see you again? For them it is a “misunderstanding”, and for the Republicans, even if it is true, it is also “false.”
Now, Kessler did publish an “appendix” on Twitter, pointing out the obvious fact-in fact, there are still Americans in Afghanistan. But again he did not accuse Schumer, nor did he say it was fake. Somehow, when it comes to the Democratic Party, Pinocchio is missing.
Addendum: According to the State Department, at least 100 American citizens want to leave Afghanistan but are still there. There are also countless legal permanent residents (ie green card holders) who want to leave.
