Fmr. Translator & Wife Killed In Attack As Marine Worked To Help Them Flee
God this is so sad , my condolences
Cause of death: Joe Biden
@Brian Jones Trump made the deal. Why do you blame Biden?
@FAFO BECAUSE BIDEN SOLD AFGHANISTAN TO CHINE FOE POPPY SEEDS. LIKE OBAMA DID.
please bring his kids here pls
@TooBadThatDidn’tKillMe NO , WE JUST CALL BIDEN THE CAUSE OF THEIR DEATHS BECAUSE IT IS, HE IS IN CHARGE NOW , ORANGE MAN BYE BYE LOSER.
@mike brigs So it’s Biden’s fault that Nazi Chihuahua Stephen Miller blocked the Afghan visas for years to Preserve The White Homeland? Oh wait, you _actually_ believe that. 🤦🏽♂️
It would be very lovely if those children were given to the marine who worked so hard to get them out. Of course there maybe extended family there who would raise them in the custom of their homeland.
Every single person who voted for Joe Biden knowing full well he has a mental illness, but just wanted Trump out, has the blood of countless thousands of Americans and Afgani allies in their hands.
@pdfico , it seems to me, Biden proved he has NO MENTAL ILLNESS. He set out to do an Herculean task because of the conditions Trump left.. oh yes, created extreme problems with the VISAs promised to the Afghan translators as well as the Afghans thatd worked in the embassy. And beyond that, IT WAS HE WHOD FREED THE ISIS K prisoners that claimed so many last Thursday and kept trying every day after that but met drone bombs on their way. The ISIS K tried to shoot missiles into airport today but didnt manage to get them there and faced a group of Taliban fighters as well.
Listening to Biden speak nearly every day after getting little sleep, dealing with Afghanistan hours which are our night hours and Haiti hours and Midwestern time for the hurricanes plus still working to keep the hospitals from collapsing due to the Covid delta . And you have the gall to call him mentally I’ll?
Maybe you might look in the mirror to see the difference. Or hunt up old news reports from the he past 4 years. That might clue you in.
So so so sad. No words can describe how raw this heartbreak is.
I am so sorry 🙁

🇺🇲🌏🙏
💔🙏🏼🕊
Heartbreaking.
I my name is Joe too I think Joe the guy wit my name is doin a good job thank you Joe Biden u’re great and MSNBC and CNN are the best news
you sound like a parody
Seriously you don’t understand that this didn’t have to happen this way? 🤦🏻♀️ This is 💯 because of your great Biden
The failure of the bureaucratic mess of the process is disgusting..i hope those boys have a bright future and dont blame America for thier parents demise
After all, in this whole Afghan war story, the best of all, with the biggest heart, are the American soldiers themselves. They are the best guys in the world. I am very proud of each of them.
That’s actually a good point. I’m open to learning but I do get frustrated with the divisiveness. I fear that will be our country’s downfall
I’m so glad we’re out of there.
Biden just more exposed for killing the wrong people shame left
Hope the 2 young boys will be well-taken off.
Horrific. Absolutely heartbreaking. Those poor people.. :'(
They would have been out in 2018 except for Trump and Steven Miller blocking visas.
Very heart breaking the USA in trouble now
Wow Joe really did it there more information about this situation about these air strike
MSNBC. remind everyone that Steven Miller prevented veterans and state dept from giving Afganis visas
Thanks to everyone who voted for Saigon Joe💯🤮🖕🏽
Good job Joe!
Well Biden have them a list of personnel, what did he think they would do with it?
Sorry for your loss sir. I can’t believe how badly we have failed our citizens and allies in this situation!
