President Joe Biden is facing criticism for a post he made asserting that he does not leave people behind.
On Thursday, Biden posted on X, “On my watch, when we make promises, we keep them. And we leave no one behind.”

The post did not age well with those who noted the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan and Americans held hostage in Gaza:
