CNN’s Clarissa Ward reported earlier today on the absolute s*itshow in Kabul and questioned how the U.S. is “going to evacuate 50,000 people in the next two weeks”:

CNN’s @clarissaward in Kabul: “I'm sitting here for 12 hours in the airport, 8 hours on the airfield and I haven't seen a single US plane take off. How on Earth are you going to evacuate 50,000 people in the next two weeks? It just, it can’t happen.”

And that’s when Cheif of Staff Ron Klain, safely in D.C., mansplained what was *really* going on in Kabul to the reporter literally in Kabul:

We evacuated 5700 people in the past 24 hours. The best military operation in the world is in charge. https://t.co/pTfaalv6YG

The whole world, and now even the MSM, sees it:

You know we can all see you're lying, right? https://t.co/MHius5vd4H

Answer? Zero credibility is left. Nada. Zip. Zilch. NONE:

Is the White House accusing a CNN reporter on the ground of lying about the evacuation? What credibility does the administration have left to even attempt to dispute what Clarissa Ward is reporting? https://t.co/IguAYv5McR

Maybe she was taking a nap then?

Did they go out by train? How is it possible a reporter on the scene (@clarissaward) didn't notice 5,700 people flown out??https://t.co/cXLAOajJ5Q

Dunking on the reporter who’ll get a Pultizer for coverage is one way to go:

You know, maybe the probably isn’t just with the president?

Ron Klain, who should have better things to do, is trying to counter-message a journalist on the spot risking her life covering the clusterfark Ron Klain has a hand in creating.

No wonder the White House is in disarray with such a man with those priorities at the helm as CoS. https://t.co/FcSuS0O7w7

As for Ward, she’s in the air now on her way out of the country but was still reporting until the very end:

Afghan evacuees try to sleep on the gravel with C17’s in the background. It’s a chilly night and incredibly loud, especially after 14 hours. One Afghan acquaintance tells me “it’s an insult to human dignity… I don’t know why the Americans are doing this.” Photo @BrentSwailsCNN pic.twitter.com/iqXl1nFkiY

And providing humanitarian assistance as well:

The fourth bird we were supposed to get on just got pulled. Going to be a long night here, especially for those we are talking to who have been here since yesterday evening. A woman just asked me for a blanket so I gave her my scarf.
