The withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan by the Biden administration was such a disaster that not even the mainstream media could cover for President Joe Biden. We didn't even manage to get all Americans out, and yet NSC spokesman John Kirby told the press Tuesday that it's a "farce" to say that the U.S. left a bunch of weapons behind in Afghanistan.
KIRBY: "We didn't just leave a bunch of weapons in Afghanistan. This is a fallacy. This is a farce."

We seem to remember tens of billions of dollars of military equipment left behind for the Taliban.
Kirby falsely says the U.S. "didn't just leave a bunch of weapons in Afghanistan"

This is completely false and U.S. troops on the ground have told me they left warehouses packed with weapons behind during the withdrawal.
The amount of lies from the Biden administration are staggering

The public has kept better track of what was left behind than the Biden administration has.

Katie…it’s not false. This is an outright LIE! This is a deliberate attempt at deception and should be illegal. It should be illegal for politicians and administrators at this level to simply lie to the American People. pic.twitter.com/g0lDqQy0d4

He's right. They also left a bunch of American citizens and Afghans that had helped us in the fight to be brutalized by the Taliban forces that took over. I doubt that's what he meant but that's what happened.

We've seen the videos. The planes flying back were filled with refugees, not military equipment.
Where is all of the equipment now? Is it in the United States? Where?
