Their penchant for putting party before country is inbred into their political psyche. And they are devoted to tearing down America&#8217;s leadership in the White House and the Pentagon whenever a Democrat is charge. It is the same predictable hostility to the best interests of the nation that Donald Trump displays, despite the fact that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=50499\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">he is largely responsible for the situation<\/a><\/strong> the country finds itself in today.<\/p>\n<p>That said, there was a hell-freezes-over moment on Fox News Thursday morning when they were reporting on a terrorist bombing near the Afghanistan airport. Correspondent Jennifer Griffin was apparently fed up with the flood of self-serving Republican criticisms flooding the airwaves that cast Biden as being at fault for the terrorist assault. And she let them know it:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The Pentagon and the White House knew that it was a dangerous mission. But right now it&#8217;s not a time for congressman and people on the Hill saying &#8216;woulda, coulda, shoulda.&#8217; It&#8217;s now time to look at the reality.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The reality is that they got 100,000 Afghan evacuees out since August 14th. They are still trying to rescue Americans who are trapped outside of the airport. There are active measures in place and what I have seen behind the scenes here at the Pentagon and with military sources in Afghanistan is nothing short of heroic.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L2PAJNZxjwU?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s an uncharacteristically accurate summation of current events in Afghanistan. And accuracy is not something that Fox News generally aims for. But Biden&#8217;s management of the evacuation, while not perfect, has succeeded in accomplishing the largest airlift in history in a remarkably short time span. And it is continuing even under these trying circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>The risks were not unknown prior to Thursday&#8217;s bombing. In fact, the U.S. State Department had been issuing warnings to Americans for days. The most recent alert was put out just the day before warning that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Due to threats outside the Kabul airport, US citizens should avoid traveling to the airport and avoid airport gates unless you receive instructions to do so.

But what Trump surely doesn&#8217;t know is that his infantile whining is an epic self own. Trump thinks that Biden and the Democrats are to be faulted for failing to <em>&#8220;win&#8221;<\/em> the war in Afghanistan after being in office for only seven months. Trump had four years to do it and failed to either claim victory (<em>&#8220;in one day&#8221;<\/em>) or to complete a withdrawal.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also gave Democrats a backhanded compliment with his admission that they outsmarted him by beating him in the 2020 election. Although outsmarting Trump isn&#8217;t a particularly high bar to get over. And now he has even lost at least one Fox News reporter who recognizes that taking advantage of tragedy is not only bad optics, it&#8217;s a display of gross indecency and inhumanity. Which is pretty much what we expect from Trump and his Republican Party.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:blue;\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Twitter suspended the News Corpse account after 11 years without giving a reason.
