In the latest desperate performance of President Joe Biden’s botched Afghan troop withdrawal, everyone’s favorite socialist sweetheart Rep. Alexander Ocasio-Cortez (New York State Democrat) joined the ranks of leftists and tried Blame the regional chaos on former President Donald Trump. However, AOC successfully broke the pattern and gave a rather creative explanation of the matter.
on Thursday appearance On MSNBC, Ocasio-Cortez and Joy Reid spoke eloquently about how Trump’s “extremely xenophobic and racist immigration policy” contributed to poor evacuation efforts. In the conversation, Reid pointed out that since President George W. Bush took office, the number of refugees the United States has received has decreased. she says:
Under Ronald Reagan (Ronald Reagan), we used to have a cap of 231,000 per year. There is no medium build. George W. Bush 70,000. Under President Obama’s leadership, this number is 85,000. 15,000 under Trump. We have asked former government members to stand up and talk about Stephen Miller, and in the end we basically waged a rhetorical war against the idea of Afghans coming here. We saw someone calling them an intruder on another network… so there is another side.
Ocasio-Cortez’s response was to absurdly attribute the Biden administration’s failure to withdraw the U.S. Afghan allies from the country to Trump. She claimed that the Trump administration did not issue special immigrant visas (SIV) to allow them to leave the country.
Ocasio-Cortez said, “It’s no secret that the Trump administration implements an extremely xenophobic and racist immigration policy” and asked the “Trump Administration” [was] When they did not pre-evacuate according to the SIV plan,” when it involved the country’s Afghan allies. She concluded:
It is because of Stephen Miller and his remarks and the xenophobia of the Trump administration that we could have evacuated thousands of Afghans earlier than this year.
The congressman tried to divert the blame for Biden’s incompetence by repeating the lies told by the national security adviser Jack Sullivan Earlier this week. At the press conference, he said:
When we took office in January, the Trump administration had not processed any special immigrant visas for nearly a year since March 2020.
However Daily call It was revealed that Sullivan was dishonest in his remarks:
Although due to COVID-19, the U.S. Embassy in Kabul did not interview Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) applicants from March 2020 to the end of the Trump administration, the State Department’s quarterly report shows that thousands of The Afghan SIV application has been processed and issued within that time frame.
Furthermore, according to data from the State Department, 1,321 SIVs were issued to Afghans between October 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020. In other words, the SIV process was stopped due to the COVID-19 outbreak, but this does not mean that the Trump administration did not issue visas for our allies.Sullivan’s lies are even so bad for the fact checkers of CNN correct it. Maybe AOC should read this article before posting these comments. Then again, even if she knew she was lying, could this stop her?
This is just the latest in a series of attempts by the Democratic Party to divert attention from the fact that President Biden is presiding that will become a stain on American history. The situation has become so chaotic that what happened in Saigon at the end of Vietnam is overshadowed. The president’s efforts to withdraw troops are terrifying, and no matter how much he spins or shirks responsibility, he will not deviate from it. But it won’t stop them from trying, right?
