A video of Vice President Kamala Harris has come true three years later amid renewed accusations that she also weighed in on the decision to pull U.S. forces from Afghanistan at about half their strength as part of an agreement with Taliban terrorists forged by President Joe Biden.
The reappearance of this clip is part of a broader reassessment by some conservatives who — at least anecdotally to us and on social media — are re-examining remarks Harris made in 2021.
This of course was the three year anniversary of an asinine suicide bombing at Hamid Karzai International Airport in which 13 American service members and over one hundred Afghans met their fate. Islamic State terrorists exploded suicide bombs in the midst of a chaotic Biden-authored American retreat from Afghanistan.
During a CNN interview around 4 months before the attack, Harris acknowledged her hand in that process.
CNN anchor Dana Bash simply asked, “Afghanistan, were you the last person in the room?”
“Yes,” Harris responded.
“And you feel comfortable?” Bash followed up, to which Harris responded, “I do.”
The interview was replayed on social media by Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, who sneered at Harris.
Pennsylvania GOP Senate candidate Dave McCormick: “Kamala Harris was proud to be the last person in the room for the decision that left 13 US service members dead and many more injured in Kabul three years ago today.”
Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller also shared the video, adding that Harris “bragged about her role on-camera” before posting the video.
Former President Trump supporters chimed in as well.
“The Democrats will try and memory hole you into thinking Kamala is not an incumbent, yet she was there and making decisions in the Biden Administration,” one noted.
“She was so proud of herself,” another added.
Meanwhile, Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) tweeted: “Today we mourn the 13 Americans who died because of the Biden-Harris administration, in their awful intel and operational failure at Abbey Gate. Trump laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier honoring the 13 heroes today, while Biden is at the beach and Harris has said nothing. Three years after Harris said she had no regrets over the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, there is still no accountability.”
