This summer, President Joe Biden decided to pull out of Afghanistan, ending the United States’ long war in the region. Newsmax host Grant Stinchfield spoke to Joe Saboe, an Iraq War veteran and founder of Team America.
Saboe stated that both Biden and former President Trump’s administrations share the blame for the crisis in Afghanistan.
“And I know there’s a lot of people on the left who want to blame Trump. He wanted out of Afghanistan real bad … I’ve got Americans there that are stuck. To me, that’s a hostage situation,” Saboe said.
Stinchfield tried to end the segment, but Saboe would add one final remark before being cut off by the Newsmax host.
“With all due respect, veterans, being one and our friends are over there; we followed this closely for multiple administrations,” Saboe said.
He added that the Trump administration’s approach to the situation in Afghanistan was “fairly weak,” stating they were “trying to limit the number of people that would get out.”
Stinchfield responded by stating, “Cut him off, please, cut him off now! Cut him off now!” Once Saboe was off-screen, Stinchfield added that former President Trump wouldn’t be taking the blame.
“Now I appreciate the work that you’re doing. God bless you for being a veteran. God bless you for trying to get Americans out,” Stinchfield said. “But don’t come on this program and take the talking points of the left and blame President Trump. That’s not helping anybody!”
