As we told you, Jen Psaki refused to say if anyone will be accountable for the botched drone strike in Afghanistan that killed 10 civilians, seven of whom were children.
Jen Psaki sidesteps question about whether or not anyone will be fired or held accountable as the result of the drone strike killing children in Afghanistan
— Charlie Spiering (@charliespiering) September 20, 2021
What Psaki would say, however, was that Joe Biden is really, really sorry about it, because he, too, has personally experienced loss:
Oh come on. Psaki just brought up fact that "as you know, Biden has personally experienced loss" as part of her answer on how he felt about his strike that killed 7 innocent children.

Good Lord.
what.

Losing a child is indeed a tremendous loss. But Biden’s loss was not due to a botched drone strike in a country that’s in turmoil as a result of his own prideful incompetence.

Pathetic.
It is always about his loss.

At some point, he needs to realize that.
I have a lot of thoughts here, the most politic of which is: yes, as have virtually all presidents, given their ages. https://t.co/0UqJh4EFs6

Experiencing loss should perhaps make one more empathetically diligent about not targeting innocents and doesn't exactly mitigate the horror of what happened in this misdirected strike. https://t.co/02gHvcBPfy

I guarantee the everyone in that room has had a loss of either a parent or grandparent.
I'm not saying it's the same as losing a child, but this bit is getting played out.

“Played out” is putting it mildly.
The “Beau Excuse”, while sad, is wearing thin as an acceptable answer for Biden’s faults. https://t.co/OsbF7obsCE

This is Team Biden's fallback every time they horribly f**k something up and people die. https://t.co/rFt2wW83nR

Biden the suffering dad is the most sympathetic aspect of his character, but the overuse of this to deflect every manner of inquiry is veering into self-parody territory, like Al Bundy talking about the big game. https://t.co/m3grALFJKB

That “I’ve lost, too” has become such a trope for Joe Biden is actually quite disturbing, if you think about it.
He just "All Live Matter'd" the kids that were killed.
