You can\u2019t shift the focus if you\u2019re Joe Biden, he was never focused on Afghanistan in the first place,\u201d Watters replied. \u201cIf he was focused on Afghanistan we wouldn\u2019t have lost face, lost Marines, and lost all those weapons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe wasn\u2019t even focused on Afghanistan while he was giving a speech on Afghanistan, remember, Dana? \u2018Before I update the American people on Afghanistan, Build Back Better,&#8217;\u201d Watters continued.<\/p>\n<p>He went on to argue that the media was not bound to look where Biden was pointing, adding, \u201cDonald Trump, do you think they let Trump turn the page on COVID? \u2026 The media lets Democrats turn the page but they\u2019ll close the book on a Republican.
