Biden Spokesman Mistakenly Lets Reporter Know What He Really Thinks About Vets Angry At Afghanistan Debacle
Story by Jake Smith- DCNF • 16h •


White House spokesman John Kirby told staffers via email on Wednesday that there was “no use” in responding to veterans’ concerns about the Biden administration’s Afghanistan withdrawal — but he mistakenly also sent the message to Fox News.

The White House has faced years of criticism for the 2021 withdrawal, which was widely seen as a disastrous operation and a failure of leadership in Washington. Amid the third anniversary of the withdrawal, Kirby wrote in an email to staffers on Wednesday that it was a waste of time to chime in on veterans’ opinions about the withdrawal and accidentally included Fox News on the chain after the outlet had sent an initial media inquiry.
 
“Obviously no use in responding. A ‘handful’ of vets indeed and all of one stripe,” Kirby wrote in a reply-all email chain with White House staffers and Fox News.

When pressed by Fox News why he sent the email, Kirby told the outlet he “didn’t realize you were on the chain.” The email thread was started when Fox reached out to the White House about criticism for the 2021 withdrawal, which included four quotes from veterans criticizing the operation. Kirby’s reply came while he was traveling with President Joe Biden during a visit to New York on the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

I have to believe Biden/Harris feel the same way.

Yeah, Kirby's not even a real sailor and never had his on ship command during his career, which was almost entirely as a Public Affairs Officer.
