Murphy BLAMES Trump – Twitter EXPLODES

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) faced criticism on Monday after he attributed the blame for President Joe Biden’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 to former President Donald Trump. The withdrawal led to the deaths of 13 U.S. service members in an ISIS suicide bombing at Hamid Karzai International Airport.

“Trump owns the Afghanistan withdrawal,” Murphy posted on X. “He cut a bad deal with the Taliban to withdraw (he takes credit for it!), forcing Biden to clean it up and making a chaotic exit practically inevitable.”

Murphy made this controversial claim in response to comments made by Trump at the National Guard Association of the United States conference in Detroit.

“Caused by Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, the humiliation in Afghanistan set off the collapse of American credibility and respect all around the world,” Trump said.

Murphy’s inaccurate claim that Trump was responsible for Biden’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan faced considerable backlash.

“F*ck you. Seriously,” said the popular YouTube gun channel Military Arms Channel. “This is disgusting behavior. You know full well Trump had nothing to do with Biden ignoring his generals and doing the withdraw the way he did. That’s 100% on him. Hell, he didn’t have to keep Trumps timeline if he didn’t want to, but he did.”

“This is a truly vile attempt to deny responsibility,” said RealClearPolitics senior writer Mark Hemingway. “Biden was not ‘forced’ to do anything. It’s his fault.”

Political commentator, Stephen L. Miller responded, stating: “That wasn’t Trump who closed the airfield and opened up the prisons which led to the bottlenecking of people falling off wheelwells, and 13 soldiers being murdered.”

“Umm…Bush and Obama also negotiated with the Taliban. The Taliban didn’t live up their end of the deal with them … OR Trump,” Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) posted on X. “But Biden withdrew UNCONDITIONALLY… pulling our military before our civilians and allies. Your defense of the idiotic and catastrophic won’t wear well, Senator.”

Biden accepted full responsibility for the chaotic withdrawal during a press conference in January 2022.

“There was no way to get out of Afghanistan, after 20 years, easily,” Biden said. “Not possible no matter when you did it. And I make no apologies for what I did.”
