CBS’s Ed O’Keefe on Thursday blasted NSC spox John Kirby after the NSC released a report blaming Trump for Joe Biden’s deadly Afghanistan withdrawal.
The Biden National Security Council (NSC) released a shocking report on Holy Thursday blaming President Trump for the catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan.
So Trump is responsible for these 13 dead Americans?
BREAKING: A National Security Council review of the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan largely lays the blame on former President Donald Trump, saying President Joe Biden was “severely constrained” by the decisions of his predecessor. https://t.co/QDiVoOvyyA

CBS’s Ed O’Keefe blasted Kirby for releasing the report right up against the Easter holiday.
“…about 10 minutes before the briefing began, with little notice”: “It’s the very definition of a modern major holiday news dump…after months of requests,” he said.

Ed O’Keefe said there is 4 pages of blame on Trump but zero expression of accountability or mistake by Joe Biden.

Kirby absurdly claimed Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal was not chaotic.
“For all this talk of ‘chaos,’ I just didn’t see it,” Kirby said.

A suicide bomber killing 13 US service members and Afghans falling from airplanes is a successful and calm withdrawal, according to Kirby.
