Of course, the Taliban took over with a matter of hours of Biden\u2019s clumsy withdrawal.<\/p>\n<p>The thorough ad also underscores the president\u2019s absence from Washington at the time of the crisis, including vacationing in Delaware and apparently being teleconferenced at Camp David. Notably, Biden has avoided questions from reporters after his widely-panned press briefings.<\/p>\n<p>After a Monday presser, Biden was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-biden-bolts-from-event-as-reporters-press-him-on-afghanistan-refuses-to-answer-questions\">asked<\/a> by a reporter, \u201cDo you know how many Americans are left in Afghanistan?\u201d&nbsp;The president hightailed it out of the room without even acknowledging the question. Similarly, following a Tuesday press conferences, POTUS refused to take any questions from reporters.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Biden could not be bothered with questions from the media on the disastrous situation in Afghanistan, as reportedly thousands of Americans remain stranded.<\/p>\n<p>Soon after Biden\u2019s address last week, the president\u2019s ABC News interview with Democrat ally George Stephanopoulos was widely panned as incoherent, if not lacking honesty.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Fox News&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/jen-psaki-out-of-office-as-biden-remains-silent-on-taliban-takeover-of-afghanistan\">reported<\/a>&nbsp;last Monday that White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was \u201cout of the office\u201d for the week as the crisis worsened:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"12\">\n<p><em>Fox News sent questions to Psaki\u2019s White House email address Sunday morning and received an auto-reply. Hours later, on Sunday evening, Fox News attempted once again to reach the White House spokeswoman. The same auto-reply, stating that the voice of the White House would not be available for the next week, was sent.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI will be out of the office from August 15th-August 22nd,\u201d the message said. Reporters were directed to reach out to other press officers, instead.<\/p>\n<p>Americans last week were offered a Pentagon press briefing that gave few answers, former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said: \u201cAnd still, she said, Press Secretary John Kirby couldn\u2019t answer some of the most pressing questions. When asked how many American citizens were trapped in Afghanistan, Kirby admitted, \u2018I don\u2019t know.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I don\u2019t know how many Americans are in Afghanistan,\u201d Kirby said last Wednesday.&nbsp;\u201cThat\u2019s a question put to the State Department, not the Department of Defense.&nbsp;We don\u2019t have that kind of granularity.\u201d The secretary offered his \u201cbest guess\u201d of somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 Americans near Kabul.<\/p>\n<p>According to an Axios report this week, Republicans have rolled out numerous ads over the Afghanistan disaster. \u201cThe haphazard U.S. withdrawal is the first major policy vulnerability presented by the Biden administration,\u201d the report <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/gop-ad-makers-jump-on-afghan-footage-39a1af6d-a6ea-478e-aa2f-6f62ebfc13d2.html\">said<\/a>. \u201cThe opposition expects it to play heavily in 2022 messaging \u2014 and even in the 2024 presidential contest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=ZuhGtMMnmts&#038;start=4&#038;feature=oembed\">https:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=ZuhGtMMnmts&amp;start=4&amp;feature=oembed<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/mcenany-rips-psaki-for-hiding-when-the-going-gets-tough\">McEnany Rips Psaki For Hiding \u2018When The Going Gets&nbsp;Tough\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
