On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Fox Business Tonight,” RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel said the media are also responsible for the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan because they allowed President Joe Biden to be “the basement Biden, the bunker Biden who didn’t have to account for how he would govern” during the 2020 election, “and now he’s doing the same thing as president.”
McDaniel said, [relevant remarks begin around 1:20] “Biden owns every single aspect of this, and the media [do] too. Because they chose not to vet him as he was a candidate. They let him be the basement Biden, the bunker Biden who didn’t have to account for how he would govern, and now he’s doing the same thing as president. And the American people are saying, wow, we would have liked to have known that this is what we were getting before we elected this guy. So, he’s an MIA candidate, now he’s an MIA president.”
