The White House deflects blame for the Signal leak by citing Biden’s botched Afghanistan exit—where 13 troops died unaccounted—and his delayed Houthi terror label, accusing his “weakness” of emboldening militants while dismissing Democratic critics.
«We are not going to be lectured about national security and American troops by Democrats and the mainstream media, who turned the other cheek when the Biden Administration left 13 service members dead in Afghanistan and not a single person was held accountable,» she said during a press briefing.
She also recalled Biden’s move to designate the Houthis as a terrorist organization.
«It’s important to remember why this powerful action took place in the first place: Because of Joe Biden’s incompetence and pathetic weakness on the world stage for years, the Houthi terrorists grew emboldened,» Karoline Leavitt added.
