During President Biden’s speech on Afghanistan yesterday, he declared the withdrawal a success.

It was such a huge success that Biden blamed Trump for it. But NBC News took the expected “journalism” approach in reporting that Republicans are pouncing yet again, but “experts” say voters probably won’t care:
Republicans are wielding the issue as a political weapon against President Biden in the hope that it will damage the Democratic Party and help them recapture control of Congress next fall.
But will Afghanistan matter to voters? Experts doubt it. https://t.co/G2JEvMBpMx

The Biden administration is lucky to have so many friends in the media.
I for one am shocked that a political party would try to exploit the most successful airlift in history to their political gain https://t.co/RBig21KSwl

If it was as successful as Biden claims you wouldn’t think there would be much for Republicans to “pounce” on, but yet here we are.
Editor: "Whatever you do, DO NOT use the word "pounce."
Soc. media team: (Googles synonyms for pounce).

"Experts" are concerned that completely botching the exit from Afghanistan so badly that it cost the lives of Americans and Afghans will hurt the Democratic Party, so they're trying to sway public opinion.

The media knows when to spring into action.
NBC News is wielding GOP reaction as a cudgel to beat voters’ skulls into apathy for an American disaster at the hands of Democrats.

Pointing to the Republican reaction is preferable to reporting how horrendously this administration screwed up the withdrawal.

They hope killing Americans and trained service dogs will be forgotten.
Maybe the left is capable of this, but most are not. https://t.co/qLaK75B4RI
