Kirby Dismisses Veterans' Concerns on Afghanistan Withdrawal in Accidental 'Reply All' Email
Sep 11, 2024, 10:55 PM
White House National Security spokesperson John Kirby inadvertently sent a 'reply all' email to Fox News, dismissing concerns from veterans about the Biden administration's withdrawal from Afghanistan. In the email, Kirby stated there was 'no use in responding' to a 'handful of vets,' which has drawn significant criticism. Kirby described the veterans as being 'all of one stripe,' a comment that was labeled as disgraceful by critics. The email was part of a chain where Fox News had sought comments on a story regarding the handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal. Kirby later acknowledged the mistake, indicating he did not realize Fox News was included in the email chain. The incident occurred on 9/11, adding to the controversy.
