Christina Pushaw weighs in after John Oliver used story related to Biden's Afghanistan disaster to make a joke about poor leadership of... Ron DeSantis

One year ago the Biden administration’s disastrous withdrawal was completed, albeit with tragic consequences. The country has since fallen completely back into Taliban hands (along with billions of dollars worth of U.S. weapons and equipment).

During a “Last Week Tonight” segment on what’s happened in Afghanistan since Biden’s withdrawal, host John Oliver ended up making a joke about lousy leadership. Biden? Oh no, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis:

Christina Pushaw, who has left the governor’s office to head up the rapid response effort for the DeSantis re-election campaign, saw a disgusting attempt to provide a distraction:

Look how desperately they are spinning to distract from the truth. https://t.co/FDgdHDdIvI

There’s desperate and then there’s whatever that clip of Oliver shows. However, the focus belongs elsewhere:

Ill just leave this here, Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal is not a laughing matter https://t.co/MwY9ttv9SR

After Biden’s tragic Afghanistan withdrawal it’s so telling that a TV comedian saw the country falling back into Taliban hands as a good opportunity to take a swipe at DeSantis for a completely untrue reason.

At 9:00 Oliver takes shots at…Ron DeSantis…as a person who "you don't want leading a government" in a way that'd make @ChristinaPushaw laugh and his deranged audience applaud.

Again, NOT ONE MENTION of Biden being in charge for the fall of Kabul or the entire last year.
