President Joe Biden received criticism for a social media post committing to fulfill promises and ensure no one is left behind. Critics pointed out cases of Americans reportedly abandoned in Gaza, Afghanistan, and Haiti. The issue escalated when Biden hinted at withholding military aid to Israel, prompting calls for the post’s removal on social platforms.
President Joe Biden took a virtual beating on Thursday after he shared a post on X claiming that his administration would always keep the promises they made and would “leave no one behind.”
Biden shared a photo of himself standing in front of a large American flag, wearing a blue suit and his usual aviator sunglasses, and added the caption, “On my watch, when we make promises, we keep them. And we leave no one behind.”

Political commentator Guy Benson pointed immediately to the fact that Biden had posted a comment about keeping promises less than 24 hours after declaring that he would unilaterally withhold military aid — which was already promised and approved by Congress — if Israel launched a ground invasion to root out Hamas terrorists in Rafah.
“What timing,” Benson posted.

“The American citizens held hostage by Hamas in Gaza were not immediately available for comment. Nor were the U.S. allies hiding from Taliban murder squads in Afghanistan. Pound sand, ‘Ironclad’ Joe,” Townhall managing editor Spencer Brown added.
