12:03Now PlayingWelcome to “Prime” hosted by Charles Blow.
Coming up, President Joe Biden stands by his decision to end America's longest war and withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan. He admits that the collapse of Afghanistan's U.S.-backed government happened much quicker than anticipated but is getting backlash for the takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban.
Unfortunately, at least seven people died, such as those who were hanging onto the wings of a U.S. military plane as they tried to escape and fell to their deaths.
Retired U.S. Army Major Sean Lanier and lawyer and human rights activist in Afghanistan, Kimberley Motley, joins Blow on “Prime” to discuss Biden’s actions in Afghanistan.
All this and more on “Black News Tonight.”
