American veterans are still looking for answers and responsibility about the disastrous and deadly exit of the Biden-Harris government from Afghanistan.
Before, some veterans may have thought that the Democratic administration was trying to ignore their worries. This week, John Kirby, the communications adviser for the White House National Security Council, seems to have accidentally revealed that this is the case.
A Fox News Digital reporter says Kirby sent a message to White House workers saying it was “no use in reacting” to veterans’ worries about the White House’s handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Florida Republican Rep. Cory Mills and other soldiers were furious that the White House didn’t seem ready to take responsibility or even just read the report.
Mills, for example, said on X, “It’s time for the Biden-Harris administration to take responsibility for leaving behind thousands of Americans and allies, for giving the Taliban billions of dollars and weapons, for letting women and children suffer under Taliban rule, and for the 13 brave heroes who gave up two lives—the ones they were living and the ones they could have lived.”
Fox News Digital said it called the White House and brought up several soldiers’ complaints about Kirby’s comments, such as the idea that he was just “covering” or “deflecting” from the administration’s disastrous pullout.
They sent the email chain to people who work for the White House on the National Security Council. That’s when Kirby answered, “Obviously no use in responding.” He thought he was only replying to White House staffers on the chain. “A “handful” of vets, all of the same kind.”
Kirby wrote back to the reporter, “Clearly, I didn’t know you were on the chain,” after he learned what he had done.
