Joe Biden’s press secretary Jen Psaki gaslighted the American people once again during a White House press briefing, claiming that the thousands of Americans left by the U.S. military behind enemy lines in Afghanistan are “not stranded.”
Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked Psaki on Monday whether Biden had a sense of the American people’s disapproval in Afghanistan by leaving their fellow countrymen “stranded” and at the mercy of the Taliban.
“I think it’s irresponsible to say Americans are stranded. They are not,” Psaki snapped, adding that the Biden team is “in touch” with them “via phone, via text, via email.”

“‘There are no Americans stranded’ is the White House’s official position on what’s happening in Afghanistan right now?” Doocy asked.
“I’m just calling you out for saying Americans are stranded in Afghanistan when I have been very clear that we are not leaving Americans behind who want to return home, to bring them home,” Psaki replied.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby reiterated that the U.S. military doesn’t know exactly how many Americans are left in Afghanistan, but they believe they’ve already evacuated “several thousand” with the Taliban’s permission.

Remember, Psaki just said the White House was “in touch” with the Americans left behind.
According to National Review, many Americans are still likely stranded in Afghanistan, as the Taliban have bottle-necked the only route out of the country through a series of checkpoints.
The only evacuation route for Americans currently in Afghanistan is through Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, and to arrive there Americans must pass through Taliban checkpoints and brave crowds of people outside the airport. On Saturday the U.S. Embassy urged Americans to avoid the airport over ‘potential security threats,’ while a gunfight erupted on Monday morning at the airport.
Reports from the Hamid Karzai International Kabul airport are dire, with thousands of frightened people – including Embassy workers – still awaiting evacuation for fear annihilation by the Taliban.
Many sounded off on Twitter over Psaki’s blatant lie.

Hey @PressSec, if Americans “aren’t stranded,” in Afghanistan then why don’t they all just hop on planes and come home?

If you are behind enemy lines and it’s too dangerous to get to the point of evacuation, you are stranded. https://t.co/9OXaRarEam

Jen Psaki: “I think it’s irresponsible to say Americans are stranded. They are not.”
Can the Biden Regime be any more out of touch? How much more gaslighting do they expect the American people to take?

They’re not “stranded.” They’re just enjoying leisurely summertime strolls along the boulevards of Kabul. https://t.co/lHCOExwIbq

Americans are stranded in Afghanistan.
Denying this fact is ignoring reality.

Even CNN anchor Jake Tapper gave Psaki a reality check:
“There are no doubt Americans who feel stranded in Afghanistan right now,” he said Monday.

While the mockingbird media implodes over Biden’s Afghanistan disaster, those addicted to the lie are dancing in the streets while thousands of Americans are trapped behind enemy lines.
