Congressman Jake Auchincloss (D-MA), a marine veteran who served in Afghanistan, reacts to Republican criticism of Biden's handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal. Rep. Auchincloss tells Andrea Mitchell that President Biden "had the integrity to make a hard and wrenching decision. He told the American people the hard truth that we could not win a counter insurgency without a political endgame."

I trust in what this man is saying ..He knows what he’s talking about. PRAYING for our fallen heroes & their families.. 🙏🇺🇸 💕
@Raptango_NA lol haven’t been a teenager for a very long time. So what if I sound like one, and that brings us to this,
your comment is typical of your kind when you have NOTHING to back up any of your claims.
@psycobleach46 tullis dude…you dont know what you’re talking about. Everyone is eligible for the tax credits, including undocumented aliens, even if they dont work, pay taxes or file a tax return. Do you think I’m making it up? I’m not making it up and I’m not wrong. No matter what comes from your mouth will not change the facts bro. Deal with it. The cost is 200bil a year, which ironically, is the same cost as the Trump tax cuts. The democrats howled and screamed about that, but the tax credits you dont even know about, because they’re literally paying poor people to vote for them. I’m not wrong… you are. And as far as the border is concerned, I’ll address that after this question.
@psycobleach46 tullis I can prove every word I say…every syllable even. You could get the same information in 30 seconds, all you have to do is look.
@Raptango_NA then back up your claim,
@Raptango_NA where do we find this info ? I like to read
This congressmen is the first and only o e I am so grateful to hear ,thank you so much for making me feel better rip troops
Why? Because he just told you comforting lies so you can pretend your liberal overlords aren’t destroying this country? He just “every American who wants to get out by the deadline will get out” That is a 100% lie, Jen Pszaki even confirmed that today. This was an absolute disaster and the biggest embarrassment in American history and it’s because of Joe Biden and the fools who voted for him. Sorry if that doesn’t make you “feel better”.
You need to listen to this other democrat congressmen today
“The Biden administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan has been a ‘f—g disaster’ of epic proportions,
If telling the truth is what’s required to save a few lives, then it’s worth all the bad politics in the world.”
-Democrat Rep. Seth Moulton, Mass.
The administration, he claimed, “has created a disaster of epic proportions,” which should be investigated by Congress.
Even Democrats in congress now ‘hate’ imbecile Potato Joe Biden
@Major Nelson what democrats hate Biden tony ?
Good guy 👍
WWII was a war based on politics that we won. Afghanistan was based on Religion, they can can never be won.
The Congressman cuts through the spin. Good guy.

@Aloha He completely lied. 100% WTF is wrong with you people. Your delusion is genuinely frightening.
We need MORE younger generation in Front, Who understand About Their future, Wake UP America.
Good guy…….who knows JACK SH_T about military/foreign affairs.
@Kb0montty2 what did he lie about ?
The Rs look America in the face and just spew stuff and act like they are responsible people.
Nobody can be weaker than an As…..kisser McCarthy and the bully T
Biden is
@Auggie Biden is TUFF enough to be honest ! The only thing TUFF about Trump is his well done steak.
@Francyne Lane That’s hilarious. Thanks, needed a laugh.
Look in the mirror.
@Francyne Lane Biden is not tough at all. He is the weakest president ever. I heard it today on NPR.
if you listened to Kritzingers interview you would have heard him say that mike pompeo when he came back from afghanistan negotiations was laughing and saying we boxed biden in. The republican ss at work again – as ex cia chief i would surmise that pompeo, trump et al were behind the bombing to discredit biden and his administration and take back power – for them as we have seen over and over again the end justifies the means.
Oh snap! I had that same thought too.
😂😂😂😂 man you really are a nut
If this were under Trump, the GQP would be saying the opposite of everything they’re saying now. It would all be about how we need to pull together and support the President. That’s their level of integrity.
It’s funny how MSNBC addresses the GOP’s criticism of Biden’s handling of Afghanistan rather than Biden’s BASE criticizing his handling of Afghanistan. Most people on both sides think it was handled badly. Leave it to MSDNC to make the killing of translators and the stoning of women into a partisan issue
Wouldn’t have gone down like this had we not been cheated
And they would be saving no one.
The gop has been gone for over 4 years, it’s now the rino fascist party led by a tabloid celebrity loser. Someday the republicans might be a strong party again, but probably not for 20-30 years. Any Americans that belong to this new rino party are known as Magats and can be recognized easily by the fast blinking eyes when speaking, quick hand moves, like playing an accordion, and continual lies. Many will have only a few teeth, and now, many will have no children, or their children will have disowned them.
@Tim Thomson lol sure buddy sure…see ya at the midterms
McCarthy like Pompeo and Graham have NO CREDIBILITY!!!
Nice to see bright young leaders like this one coming up the ranks
I concur we need more like this “true Patriot”
No one cares what the GOP has to say , it goes in one ear and out the other. God bless our troops and President Biden. Pray for peace.
Thanks, Andrea! Thanks, Representative Auchincloss! 💜
News flash. 700 Trump fans or their relatives died of Covid-19 because of his super-spreader rallies. Lock Him up!
news flash your president just gave away 80 million military equipment drones missles guns tanks black hawks he funded the enemy ..
@Tina Marie Dems been doing that for years. Barry and his buddy Holder got a sweet deal from the cartel.
@Tina Marie yeah, I wish them luck with the maintenance and upkeep of that expensive equipment.
Anyone who has deployed to Afghanistan knows they’re fantastic at adopting new technology.
THE GOP LOST 100% OF THEIR CREDIBILITY ! NO ONE EVEN CARES WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY BECAUSE ITS ALL 100% BULLS***. THIS MAN KNOWS IT AND JUST SAID IT.
Thank you for your voice of reason and not panic Rep Auchincloss, not to mention your service Marine
Very impressive. Marine and Congressman. Kudos.
Joe should challenge them to pushups. He claims to be pretty good at them. Walking however, …
Wise words from this Senator.
