Twitter users reacted to what some claimed to be the "defining image" of President Biden’s news conference on the Afghanistan crisis Thursday.

On Thursday, Biden held another press briefing to discuss the recent bombings at Kabul’s airport in Afghanistan that resulted in the death of 13 U.S. service members and wounding more than a dozen others.

After condemning ISIS-K for the attack, Biden took questions from the press, including Fox News reporter Peter Doocy.

Doocy asked Biden if he accepts responsibility for the way things have unfolded in Afghanistan in the last two weeks.

Biden responded "I bear responsibility for fundamental all that’s happened of late."

However, he also invoked former President Donald Trump and his announcement to pull troops from Afghanistan.

"You know as well as I do that a former president made a deal with the Taliban that he would get all American forced out of Afghanistan by May 1," Biden said.

This led to a tense exchange between the two where Biden proceeded to tilt his head down as Doocy continued to ask questions.

The image of Biden’s head down was quickly shared across Twitter with several people calling it a "defining" image of the Biden administration.

Republican consultant Matt Whitlock shared the image with the tag "A defining image."

"Even Joe Biden's sign language interpreter gave up," Caleb Hull tweeted.

"It’s time for Biden to resign," Florida state representative Anthony Sabatini said.

Biden was criticized for his plan to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan which has led to the Taliban to take over the majority of the country and the turmoil that followed.

Isn't he praying? :-s

Nope. Well, maybe praying to God he could escape PD's questions.

He's (Doocy) going to get his WH press credentials pulled because he asks real questions. Although to be fair right now, most of the rest of the press is all over Biden about the Afghanistan debacle.

Doocy's not nearly as bad as Acosta was with Trump.

I'm not making that kinda comparison...Acosta was a first class asshole whereas Doocy really asks real questions and he does it politely and the right way. He doesn't shout over everyone else just to get heard, he actually waits until he is called on. But we all know the WH doesn't like having Biden take any real questions. Psaki gets annoyed enough with having to answer questions from Doocy during the daily press briefings. :lol:

I have mixed feelings about the photo.

What's really sad is that those still suffering from extreme TDS refuse to admit that there is someone worse.

I watched the video. He was waiting for that belligerent reporter to shut the f*** up.

Overall I like Biden's style in the press interviews. He is clear and to the point. What he says makes sense. He takes responsibility for what he says.

And yes, the Taliban have not attacked any American forces since the deal that Trump made. Let the Taliban deal with these other caliphate extremists.

Wouldn't that be nice..

Wow, Peter Doocy's belligerent. Wow. :lol:

I bet you think CNN's Jim Acosta was righteous when he was being a completely belligerent punk to Trump.

Fair point.. ^

I believed that our presence in Afghanistan should be focused on the reason we went in the first place: to ensure Afghanistan would not be used as a base from which to attack our homeland again. We did that. We accomplished that objective. Joe Biden 4/14/21


We will not conduct a hasty rush to the exit. We’ll do it — we’ll do it responsibly, deliberately, and safely. And we will do it in full coordination with our allies and partners, who now have more forces in Afghanistan than we do.

And the Taliban should know that if they attack us as we draw down, we will defend ourselves and our partners with all the tools at our disposal. -Joe Biden 4/14/21


But but but it's Trumps plan!! All Trumps fault!!!!

Since he has claimed to have been so many things, I'm waiting for him say he was a samurai warrior and as a disgrace do the honorable thing.
