President Biden’s History of Abandoning Americans
President Joe Biden has a troubling track record of leaving Americans to fend for themselves during emergencies and natural disasters. Here are four instances where Americans were left behind without sufficient assistance:
During the chaotic retreat from Afghanistan, the Biden administration claimed to have rescued over 120,000 individuals. However, they left behind over 800 Americans who were stranded behind enemy lines. The House Foreign Affairs Committee’s analysis revealed that the number of Americans left behind was significantly higher than what Biden had initially claimed.
It’s important to note that the figure does not include those who were evacuated by private citizens and non-governmental organizations.
“The State Department has evacuated more than 800 American citizens from the country since August 31, 2022. That does not include the AMCITS evacuated by outside groups. And it is clearly dramatically more than the number of “about 100” that we were repeatedly told after the NEO [non-combat evacuation operation] ended. For perspective, the Iran hostage situation in 1979 saw 52 Americans left in the country,” according to the committee report.
Tragically, thirteen American service personnel lost their lives during the withdrawal.
In Sudan, as a violent war raged on, the Biden administration abandoned around 16,000 American residents and expected them to find their own way out. While measures were taken to help U.S. Embassy workers escape, there were no preparations to assist the thousands of Americans left behind.
“It’s absolutely imperative that U.S. citizens in Sudan make their own arrangements to stay safe in these difficult circumstances,” said White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby at the time. “Americans should have no expectation of a U.S. government-coordinated evacuation at this time. And we expect that that’s going to remain the case,” he added.
The United States faced criticism for prioritizing the evacuation of embassy employees while neglecting the evacuation of private American citizens. Other countries, such as France, stepped in to assist in the evacuation of their citizens.
After a train disaster in East Palestine, Ohio, which resulted in a hazardous chemical leak and environmental contamination, Biden promised to visit the site. However, he failed to follow through on his promise, leaving the community feeling ignored and neglected.
“I feel like I don’t matter,” said Jessica Conard, a local resident. “I want to go where I feel like an American worth saving.”
Instead of declaring a disaster and providing federal resources, Biden directed federal agencies to hold Norfolk Southern accountable.
“I haven’t had the occasion to go to East Palestine. There is a lot going on here and I haven’t been able to break,” Biden said. “I figured I would go to East Palestine this week, but I was then reminded that I have to go around the world. I’m going from Washington to India to Vietnam and so it is going to be a while. But, we are making sure that East Palestine has what they need materially in order to deal with the problems.”
“But where do you go?” Conard continued. “Where do you go when your community is repeatedly ignored by the president of the United States? That’s where I want to go. I want to go where I feel like an American worth saving.”
Following a terrorist attack in Israel, Americans in the country struggled to contact the U.S. Embassy for assistance. Meanwhile, Biden hosted a barbecue at the White House, showing a lack of urgency and concern for the situation.
One American hostage expressed frustration, saying, “Where is the State Department? They need to start getting Americans out.”
It is clear that President Biden has a pattern of abandoning Americans in times of crisis. These instances raise serious concerns about his leadership and commitment to the well-being of American citizens.

In what ways does President Biden’s lack of action and attention in response to crises, such as the train disaster in Ohio and the terrorist attack in Israel, demonstrate a failure to prioritize the safety and well-being of American citizens
President Joe Biden has a troubling history of abandoning Americans in times of crisis and natural disasters. There have been multiple instances where individuals were left behind without sufficient assistance, raising concerns about the government’s commitment to its citizens.
During the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Biden administration claimed to have rescued over 120,000 individuals. However, they left behind over 800 Americans who were stranded behind enemy lines. The House Foreign Affairs Committee’s analysis revealed that the number of Americans left behind was significantly higher than initially claimed by President Biden. It’s important to note that this figure does not include those who were evacuated by private citizens and non-governmental organizations.
In Sudan, as a violent war raged on, the Biden administration abandoned around 16,000 American residents and expected them to find their own way out. While measures were taken to help U.S. Embassy workers escape, there were no preparations to assist the thousands of Americans left behind. This decision drew criticism, especially when other countries, like France, stepped in to assist in the evacuation of their citizens.
After a train disaster in East Palestine, Ohio, President Biden promised to visit the site but failed to follow through on his promise. This left the community feeling ignored and neglected, especially given the hazardous chemical leak and environmental contamination resulting from the incident. Instead of declaring a disaster and providing federal resources, Biden directed federal agencies to hold Norfolk Southern accountable. This lack of action and attention left residents feeling unimportant and forgotten.
Following a terrorist attack in Israel, Americans in the country struggled to contact the U.S. Embassy for assistance. Meanwhile, President Biden hosted a barbecue at the White House, displaying a lack of urgency and concern for the situation. This lack of responsiveness from the government left Americans frustrated and in dire need of support.
These instances highlight a pattern of President Biden failing to prioritize the safety and well-being of American citizens. It is crucial for the government to fulfill its duty of protecting its citizens and providing assistance when they are most vulnerable. The incidents mentioned raise questions about the administration’s ability and commitment to effectively handle emergencies and crises.
As Americans, we deserve leadership that puts the needs and safety of its citizens first. The incidents mentioned should serve as a reminder of the importance of choosing leaders who prioritize the welfare of their constituents. The abandonment of Americans in times of crisis is unacceptable, and it is vital to hold leaders accountable for their actions or lack thereof.
