Joe Biden’s Presidency is imploding.
After his debacle in Afghanistan, some Democrats are even starting to turn on Joe Biden.
But Joe Biden never expected this top Democrat Senator to share the one photo that could ruin his Presidency.
In July, Joe Biden assured the American people that the Afghan army was capable of defending the country and that it would not turn into a situation like what happened in Saigon in 1975.
No American alive at the time can forget the helicopters evacuating the remaining U.S. personnel off the roof of the embassy after Vietnam fell to the communists.
But what Joe Biden promised wouldn’t happen in Afghanistan is what happened and even worse.
The Taliban took power in Kabul with ease after the Afghan army surrendered and turned their weapons over to the terrorist organization.
But during the chaos, a photo emerged showing a helicopter evacuating Americans from the embassy in Afghanistan, which is exactly what happened in Saigon in 1975.
This led to Democrat Senator Sheldon Whitehouse sharing a photo with the comment that his father was one of the last American Ambassadors airlifted out of Saigon, adding that what happened in Kabul reminded him of the embarrassment from 1975.
Sad. My father was our next-to-last ambassador in Saigon, and our ambassador when ‘peace deal’ was negotiated in Laos. How that all ended deserved more attention. pic.twitter.com/T7upqHBVvM

Joe Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan was so horrendous that even Democrats are refusing to defend him.
Of course, President Trump negotiated an original deal to have the U.S. out of Afghanistan by May 1.
But Joe Biden pushed Donald Trump’s plan back because he wanted to stage a photo op on September 11.
Trump’s plan for orderly withdrawal was canceled just so Biden could have the last American troops leaving Afghanistan on the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The withdrawal was pushed to the middle of the Afghan fighting season, making it easier for the Taliban and other Islamic groups to seize control of the country, resulting in the massive blunder that occurred last weekend.
And with Joe Biden’s closest allies comparing the situation to the 1975 humiliation in Saigon, Biden’s poll numbers are certain to take another massive hit.
