Manchin: Biden’s Refusal to Admit Mistake in Afghanistan Makes You Wonder If It Was Intentional

During an interview with CBS’s “The Takeout” podcast released on Friday, Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV) wondered why the Biden administration can’t admit it made a mistake with Afghanistan and said, “When you make a mistake and you can’t own up to it, then that means, did you make it intentionally then, since you don’t think it’s a mistake?”
While discussing Vice President Kamala Harris’ candidacy, Manchin said, [relevant remarks begin around 10:25] “[W]hen they said, do you support everything that was done? I’m on the team. I’m number two. This is not my gameplan. I didn’t put the gameplan out. I didn’t call the play, okay? Would I do it different? Absolutely. I would do it different. But while I’m there, I’m trying to make that president — my president and my partner as successful as possible. So, if you’re blaming me for being on the team, I’m guilty as charged. But if she doesn’t say that, hey, would you change anything, would you say, let’s don’t leave Afghanistan this way, let’s don’t give Bagram Air Force Base away the way we did, let’s not do the border, we’ve never given asylum at the border? There [are] some things that we should do differently. If you had that input and you got overruled, you’re still the team. But can’t you say when you’re on your own now, yes, I would have done it different, and here’s how?”

Biden didn’t do it. The man with the mic in his pajamas in a basement did.

He was using Trump’s data....except for one thing...where Trump said...any sign of misbehaving and we will not leave. Biden pulled a cutie...and the Taliban saw his stupity and ran with it...

The goal of EVERY Democrat administration is to humiliate the military. Of course this was intentional.

I will bet you my favorite prayer rug that biden did this on purpose because he was told to do it as a condition of being made president.
Stopping the war against Afghanistan, betraying Americans, giving 85 billion dollars worth of munitions to the taliban, all intentional. He’s a bumbling old fool only when he wants to be.

Obama/Jarrett is a very safe bet.

Biden just did whatever Xi told him to do.

Manchin: Talks like a reasonable Senator but always voted with the radicals when given the opportunity to do the right thing.
