Biden addresses nation on Afghanistan crisis, takes no questions

President Biden opted to flee to Camp David immediately following the remarks rather than stay in Washington and attempt to lead.

President Joe Biden gave remarks on the unfolding meltdown in Afghanistan but refused to take questions and quickly fled back to the presidential Camp David retreat in Maryland today.

Biden spoke for fewer than 20 minutes about the takeover by Islamic terrorists of Afghanistan. In his speech he blamed Trump. He has also ordered thousands of troops back into the third-world Middle Eastern country.

Meanwhile, the Biden Department of Defense has boasted about teaching critical race theory to troops and hired diversity chiefs to push a liberal social agenda. It should have spent more time on planning a proper and safe withdrawal.

Do you think the Secretary of Defense needs to resign? Do you think President Biden should return to D.C. and fix this mess? Share your thoughts below!
