What was she thinking?
Sen. Elizabeth Warren stunned Americans after she said that they should be “proud” of President Joe Biden for his evacuation efforts in Afghanistan. She also claimed that he has left “no American-owned equipment behind.”
MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell asked, “What was your takeaway from the hearing about the evacuation from Afghanistan?”
Warren said, “That it was actually an amazing undertaking. It was done under chaotic circumstances. Because the government had collapsed. Because the army had melted away, the Afghan Army, and that, even in the midst of all of that, our military was able to get about 124,000 people out.”
She added, “They left no American-owned equipment behind. They managed to execute that. And, yes, it was at risk. We lost a young woman from Massachusetts. I’m working now on trying to get the Congressional Medal of Honor for the people who we lost right at the end. But we knew it was a risky undertaking and the military performed. We should be proud of President Biden and proud of our military.”
