Playbook: “That’s something Secretary of State Antony Blinken repeated on multiple TV hits this morning. Even top Democrats aren’t going along with that.
Said Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI): “It does feel like the fall of Saigon today, I’m not going to lie.”
“If seasoned, mainstream Democrats from the establishment wing of the party aren’t even going along with the White House on this, their message has a real credibility problem.”
Said Reuters foreign correspondent Idrees Ali: “Secretary Blinken is correct. The airlift from Saigon did not happen until two years after a peace deal was signed. The evacuation from Kabul is happening with two weeks still left under Biden’s own timeline for an end to the mission.”
