I wrote about 20 years of Jake Tapper's "how will you pay for it" schtick and how it only targets social welfare programs that benefit the poor and vulnerable and never the wars Tapper clearly thinks are righteous and should continue. https://t.co/jizu08hgZB

Now that the war cheerleading is over and the NYT has driven down Biden’s approval rating, they slip this in:

You know, the one about the United States recklessly selling Americans out to the Taliban?

He gave a fantastic speech yesterday on the end of the war:

Biden’s compassion for and work to note the real human costs to our soldiers is a note that many lefty pundits may minimize and Fox will try desperately to denigrate… but it’s the heart of why that speech was brilliant.

Pres Biden faced fierce criticism over the last few weeks over his decision to withdraw from Afghanistan & the way in which he did it. He is pushing back hard on that criticism & pointedly defending his choice not to continue the two-decade war w/ another generation of troops.

The foreign policy consensus loves military adventurism. The American people do not. And Joe Biden knows who he works for.
Great speech, Mr. President. https://t.co/Dhtqs1g08u
