The Biden-Harris administration has been offering some particularly bad takes on the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. During Monday’s press briefing, White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby offered a particularly rotten one.

He also noted that “we mourn the loss of–of those 13 lives at Abbey Gate every single day here,” as he continued to stumble over his words to try to offer that “their sacrifice doesn’t–doesn’t–uh–is not forgotten,” once again claiming “we hold ourselves all accountable for that.”
