Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore shot back at critics of President Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan, arguing that he followed through with a campaign promise and did so with relative success.
"I'm still flabbergasted that he pulled this off with such grace and precision and safety. Everything that we've been told by the media, the mainstream media, by pundits who did nothing but spend weeks criticizing his exit from Afghanistan. I don't get it," Moore said while appearing on Hill.TV's "Rising."
Moore argued that the U.S. was able to successfully negotiate the evacuation of thousands of people from Afghanistan with the Taliban, an enemy that the U.S. has been fighting for 20 years.
"We did have loss of life with a random, vicious terrorist attack by ISIS. But whatever Biden negotiated, everybody kept their word. We left on the day we said we were going to leave, in fact we left the minute before that day, and the Taliban stood by and helped us leave," added Moore.

I'm really glad to see Moore give the man a
