Secretary of State Anthony winkedHe is more qualified to sell shampoo than in his current job, on Fox News this morning. In an interview with Chris Wallace, Usually a friendly face to government officials, Brinken found himself forced by the reality that President Joe Biden seems to live in the same universe as the rest of us.
What is shocking is that Or not shocking Based on your personality, Brinken cannot answer basic questions about whether Biden knows what is happening in Afghanistan.

The reason for this is that Biden lied many times during his recent pressure on the collapse of Afghanistan and the people who are still trapped there. The long-delayed meeting lasted less than 18 minutes. Biden answered four questions in total and uttered obvious lies in his answers.
For example, Biden’s insistence that Al Qaeda has “disappeared” from Afghanistan is untrue, so much so that his own Pentagon refuted him in less than an hour. The President also asserted that there was “no” intelligence to show that it is difficult for Americans to reach Kabul Airport through the Taliban checkpoint. In the end, Biden may be his most obvious lie, insisting that our allies did not criticize his way of handling things.On the contrary, he is indeed Be despised By the British Parliament.
Either Biden deliberately misled the public, hoping that all of this would end, or he was so ignorant of the situation that he really didn’t know what happened. When Wallace asked to explain the difference, Brinken couldn’t. Instead, he responded that it was an emotional moment for everyone. If I have seen it, it is a kind of dodge.
Is the President being told everything because his advisers and cabinet officials fear that he will further damage the operation?
It is commendable that Wallace did not let Brinken escape confusion and follow up, reiterating that the words are very important, and Biden’s statement is meaningless. Brinken was once again shocked and refused to answer the question of why Biden’s words run counter to reality. Instead, he claimed that our allies expressed “deep appreciation” for the way the United States handled the withdrawal. This is almost certainly untrue, but Brinken has his talking points and he sticks to them.
To be honest, this may be one of the worst episodes of Biden’s presidency. Of course, there have been many embarrassing moments in the past eight months, but when Biden’s own Secretary of State could not quickly dispel the notion that the president is an ignorant plant, things went grossly wrong. At some point, confusion becomes too obvious to ignore.
I don’t know how this country spent these three years.
