NBC News complains the GOP has 'seized' on 'optical comparison' of the fall of Kabul and Saigon
|
[BIZPACREVIEW] NBC News White House correspondent Monica Alba noted on Sunday that Republicans "have seized on" the "optical comparison" of the hasty U.S. withdrawals from both Kabul, Afghanistan, and then-Saigon, South Vietnam, after photos of similar helicopters lifting off from the respective U.S. embassies in both countries 45 years apart went viral Sunday.
CH-47 Chinook helicopters were seen ferrying American diplomatic personnel and Afghan allies from the rooftop of the U.S. Embassy in Kabul for much of the day Saturday and into Sunday, images that were broadcast by news agencies sent out over wire service reports.
During her report, Alba noted that last month President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences...
assured Americans that the withdrawal from Afghanistan would not at all resemble the chaotic scenes in what was at the time the capital of South Vietnam ahead of rapidly advancing North Vietnamese troops.
In addition, her report included a clip of Secretary of State Antony Blinken from this past weekend, in which he claimed, "This is manifestly not Saigon."
"Still, helicopters continuously evacuated Americans and our Afghan allies to the airport throughout the day, an optical comparison Republicans have seized on as they continue to blast the president’s foreign policy strategy," Alba said, as she led into clips of Reps. Michael McCaul of Texas and Liz Cheney
 ...Faux Republican hereditary congresswoman-for-life from Wyoming. She has been described as Republican royalty. A staunch Never Trumper, Liz supported the second impeachment of Donald Trump for his role in the 2021 storming of the U.S. Capitol. Publicans dumped her from her leadership position in May 2021. Refusing to admit that she had trashed her own career, Cheney has said that she intends to be the leader... in a fight to help to restore our party and that she may be interested in a future presidential run....
of Wyoming ripping Biden.
