Pentagon Inadvertently Confirms Biden Is Either Lying to Us or Just Has No Idea What He’s Saying

OPINION | This article contains the author's opinion.

Reports have confirmed that some Americans have been beaten by the Taliban in Kabul and Joe Biden has lied about it.

Pentagon officials have showed that much of what Biden has told the American people about the botch withdrawal of U.S. troops in Afghanistan is false.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin stood alongside Joe Biden as Biden claimed, “We know of no circumstance where American citizens, carrying an American passport” have had trouble getting to Hamid Karzai International Airport.

Sec. of Defense Lloyd Austin has now told members of the House of Representatives that Americans are in fact being beaten by the Taliban in Kabul.

Biden is either lying directly to the American people or he’s completely delusional and unaware of critical information regarding what’s going on in the world.

Watch the clip:

More from Townhall:

The two possible explanations are that either Joe Biden is so far outside the main current of information in his administration that he doesn’t know what is happening to Americans trapped in Afghanistan, or that he just lied to the American people with a straight face from the East Room of the White House. Clearly, Biden’s word is only as good as the Taliban’s with whom Biden says an agreement has been reached to allow Americans safe passage.

Another claim Biden made in his remarks was that al-Qaeda is gone from Afghanistan. But Pentagon Press Secretary, immediately following Biden’s remarks, said the opposite in telling a reporter that al-Qaeda is still in Afghanistan.

Watch:

Again, which is it? Does Joe Biden not know the countries in which al-Qaeda members exist, or did he lie about the future of a renewed al-Qaeda threat in Afghanistan?

The fact that the commander in chief could stand before the American people and apparently lie about what’s going on while assuming no one would bother to check his facts suggests again that Joe Biden simply does not give a rip about the reality in Afghanistan and is just hoping that his liberal media lapdogs will go along with what he says.

Already, though, he’s being fact-checked – and not just by who you’d expect. No, in addition to Fox News, a reporter with ABC News — yes the same ABC News that got caught editing its recent interview with Biden to cut some of his gaffe-iness — said “the reality and the rhetoric” from Biden “are miles apart.”
