Is this some sort of sick joke?
On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Rep. Jim Himes reacted to the Biden administration’s Afghanistan report by stating that “Joe Biden is the kind of guy who would own up to what Harry Truman asked presidents to own up to.”
Co-host Mika Brzezinski said, “Congressman, a new White House report is mainly blaming the Trump administration for the United States’ chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. It’s a twelve-page assessment released by the National Security Council yesterday.
Himes responded, “Well, Mika, if this is an exercise in dividing blame between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, let’s also remember that Kirby said yesterday something that is consistent with what we all respect Harry Truman for saying, which is that the buck stops here. John Kirby yesterday [said], the president of the United States, the commander-in-chief bears ultimate responsibility for the operational actions of the troops.
He continued, “But Mika, to get to the point you asked about, 2,500 troops when Joe Biden becomes president, on the week after January 6, when my workplace was attacked by insurgents, there were more than 2,500 troops guarding Capitol Hill, more than 2,500 National Guards[men] guarding Capitol Hill. So, with 2,500 troops, you do not have options.
