House Speaker of the US Nancy Pelosi was recently ripped apart by the press after she reportedly began spinning news relating to how military equipment was found in Taliban hands.
Many critics were quick to call out the House Speaker for drawing a curtain on President Joe Biden’s mistakes of an early withdrawal, mentioning how this is exactly what happens when troops withdraw from a nation. But many felt that the controversial statements made by the House Speaker did not go in line with the recent images coming out from war-torn Afghanistan.

Current reports go as far as mentioning how military equipment worth billions of dollars is now in the hands of the Taliban forces.
But Pelosi denied all of those claims, trying to play it smart by spinning off the words with, ‘that is exactly what happens when you withdraw from any nation. You leave some stuff behind,” she boldly explained.
While appearing for a live interview with KPIX 5 News, Pelosi also spoke about how a lot of the equipment that was left behind would hopefully be used by Afghanistan’s own military to try and defend its own nation.
“But the mere fact that it just did not and could not is one of the many reasons for us to leave,” she added. But after the weird array of comments coming out of the House Speaker’s mouth, many felt that she was just trying to play it safe. In the same way, others referred to her statements as an absolute parody.
