Does it make Max Boot feel big to tell a former President of the United States to “shut up?” The Washington Post columnist and Never Trumper did just that on today’s Morning Joe .
In his recent Washington Post column , Boot argued that neither Trump, nor Mike Pompeo nor Mike Pence, have any right to criticize Biden’s handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal since they set it in motion.
Mika Brzezinski teed up Boot by quoting former Trump National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster recently saying , “our Secretary of State [Pompeo] signed a surrender agreement with the Taliban. This collapse goes back to the capitulation agreement of 2020. The Taliban didn’t defeat us. We defeated ourselves.”
Boot summed up his position by trumpeting: “People like Trump and Pompeo just need to find a good opportunity right now to just shut up and stop criticizing something that they set in motion.” Yet Boot admitted that Biden has “very badly bungled” the withdrawal. Whatever Trump’s responsibility for setting the withdrawal in motion, certainly he and others are entitled to criticize Biden’s inept handling of it. Nobody stopped Obama from criticizing Trump after he suggested ISIS was a “JV team.” CNN and MSNBC wanted more Obama criticism of Trump, always more.
Boot doesn’t seem ashamed to pontificate although the Al Jazeera types think he’s a horrible neocon who should shut up and go to “disgraced pundit purgatory.”
Joe Scarborough seconded Boot’s position, saying that only people who criticized Trump’s withdrawal plan are now entitled to criticize Biden’s botching of it.
Washington Post columnist Max Boot saying that Donald Trump and Mike Pompeo “just need to find a good opportunity right now to just shut up and stop criticizing” Biden’s mishandling of the Afghanistan withdrawal was sponsored in part by TD Ameritrade .

Morning Joe
8/23/21 6:43 am EDT MAX BOOT: I mean, it’s — you know, we really redefine chutzpah for Donald Trump, and Mike Pompeo and Mike Pence to suddenly be claiming that they’re outraged by the horrors of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, because they’re the ones who set this in […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
