BODIED: CNN's Jake Tapper comes firing out of the gate at State Sec. Blinken and Pres. Biden, asking: "This is not just about the overall idea of leaving Afghanistan. This is about leaving hastily and ineptly. Secretary Blinken, how did President Biden get this so wrong?"
Citing Obama's former ambassador to Afghanistan, Ryan Crocker, Tapper then brought up serious concerns about Biden's ability to lead America at all. "I'm left with some grave questions in my mind about Biden's ability to lead our nation as commander-in-chief," he read.
Things grew heated as Tapper grilled Blinken on how "ineptly planned" the withdrawal was, noting Biden withdrew 2,500 troops then had to send in 5,000 troops to help evacuate Americans and Afghan allies. He also called out how wrong Biden was about the situation unraveling.
Tapper scolded Blinken for trying to repeatedly change the subject and demanded to know if the administration knows they screwed up, if they offered concessions, and if they promise to make sure every American gets out of the country unharmed. Blinken didn't make that promise.
"Why now? Why are you just doing that now," Tapper shouted, noting that "On this show, we've been talking for months about the need to evacuate these thousands of Afghan translators and others who helped U.S. service members during the war." He also knows vets trying to help.

Whoopi Goldberg, who has not served America in any way, mocks Pete Hegseth's name and ignores his 20 years of decorated military service which included combat tours, and his years of advocating for veterans.
Despite Hegseth's decades of military service, Whoopi claims he "clearly does not know anything about the military."
None of the cast seems to be aware of his service, but their ignorance doesn't keep them from mouthing off.
Sara Haines falsely claims Hegseth only "served for five or six years" and was middle -- midranking.
He served for 20 years and achieved the rank of Major.
She and Alyssa Farah Griffin whine that he has no experience as a bureaucrat.

The View praises Kamala's late concession speech.
"She's even inspiring in defeat. Like, the things she said about we don't stop fighting," Haines boasted.
She claims the only person to "pull off" election denying is Trump. Meanwhile, The View denied the 2016 election.
Joy Behar rages at the red wave: "We lost the Senate, the Supreme Court, the executive branch, the House is on the verge of going to him. It's pathetic! There are no checks and balances."
She bashes America for not electing the "completely intelligent qualified woman."
Continuing the bashing of America, Sunny Hostin whines: "This country missed out on [Kamala's] leadership. This country missed out on the leadership of moving forward, not going back, the leadership of someone that was trying to unify this country..."

The View blames Trump for Biden calling his supporters "garbage."
"He owns that language. He owns that rhetoric because he is the one that introduced it," Sunny Hostin proclaimed.
Hostin whines that being upset with calling Trump supporters "garbage" is " gaslighting to the tenth degree," and complains about it being "co-opt[ed].""I hope Americans recognize what's happening," she adds.
Claiming she's now a "political strategist," faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin says it's "political malpractice" for Trump to focus on Biden calling his supporters "garbage."
She claims Biden's "garbage" smear was him intentionally giving Trump a "life line" for MSG rally.

The View falsely claims Trump himself made the joke about Puerto Rico being trash at MSG, not the comedian.
"Puerto Rico is trash? We are Americans, Donald Trump," Sunny Hostin proclaimed. "We voluntarily serve disproportionately high in the military while you have bone spurs."
Ana Navarro continues to falsely claims Trump himself made the jokes: "he didn't just make jokes about Puerto Ricans. He made jokes about blacks...He made a vile joke about Latinos..."
She then appeals to identity politics, calling people to "vote your identity."
Still falsely claiming Trump himself made the jokes, faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin proclaims: "He came for everyone."

Behar: It's easy, "men are so clueless and egotistical, they think no one would ever cheat on them."

Ta-Nehisi Coates suggests he's not above taking part in an October 7-style attack:
"And I grow up under that oppression and that poverty and the wall comes down. Am I also strong enough or even constructed in such a way where I say this is too far, I don't know that I am."
Trevor Noah says he was "angry" at CBS's Tony Dokoupil for saying Coates sounded like an extremist. Noah then compares Gaza to the American Revolution: "If you remove America's history...then it's like, yeah, those people who fought against the British, they were terrorists."
Ta-Nehisi Coates suggests he’d wouldn't be able to stop himself from taking part in an October 7-style terrorist attack newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicho…
