"My sense, as I talk to people in the White House, watch these folks on TV, is that they are really shellshocked," Ignatius said on "Morning Joe." "This is a kind of defeat, a level of reversal, that these folks have never known in their lives. These are people who have never gotten, you know, a bad grade in school."
It was all the more surprising, Ignatius argued, because the Biden administration were supposed to be the "good guys" who offered a sense of stability following their predecessors.
Former Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell rejected that remark, referencing foreign policy disasters from the Obama administration, including the Benghazi terror attack in 2012 and the rise of the Islamic State terrorist group after the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.
Never known? @IgnatiusPost didn’t see Benghazi? Jake’s classified emails to Hillary? The genocide in Syria? The rise of the Isis caliphate?

Ignatius is a partisan activist. This wasn’t a one time failure. *****eGzJfLwVif
