“WHO’S GETTING FIRED FOR THIS?”; Peter Doocy Corners Biden Spokesperson Over Afghanistan Withdrawal
The release of the Biden administration’s outline surrounding the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan has caused controversy due to its apparent attempt to shift the blame onto former President Trump. The document has faced criticism for its lack of accountability and ignoring the tragedy and chaos that ensued during the withdrawal.
During a press conference, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy questioned the administration’s pride in the way the mission was conducted.
“There were children being killed… there were people hanging off of Air Force jets that were leaving, and you’re saying you guys are proud of the way that this mission was conducted?” Doocy asked.
John Kirby: “You bet.”

The exchange underscores the growing dissatisfaction with the way the withdrawal was handled and the need for accountability from those involved.
Later in the press conference, Doocy asked, “Who’s going to get fired over this?!”
“The purpose of it is not accountability,” Kirby claimed.
