Afghanistan quickly fell to the Taliban, and all hell broke loose, with some conservatives seemingly siding with the extremist group to take shots at President Joe Biden. The blame game is predictably taking place with former President Donald Trump attacking Biden for doing exactly what he proposed to do. Eric Trump lashed out on Twitter to attack President Biden while dropping an f-bomb. And now, Donald Trump Jr. shared a video on Twitter featuring a Taliban spokesperson who criticized social media platforms when asked about freedom of speech in Afghanistan.
“This question should be asked to those people who are claiming to be promoters of freedom of speech who do not allow publication of information,” the Taliban spokesperson said. “I can ask [the] Facebook company.”
The twice-impeached one-term president has been banned on all the major social sites after inciting the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection on U.S. soil. Still, somehow the Trumps think the former guy is being censored, even though that decision has nothing to do with free speech. So, Junior responded to the video, saying, “LOL…Also not wrong.”

Yep an ex presidents son with political aspirations openly supporting Taliban. Not surprising since his daddy is the one who freed this particular Taliban guy

That awkward moment with you consistently side with the Taliban.

The folks who love to talk about “America First” sure seem enamored with people who have avowed their hatred of America.
Why do you think that is, Junior?
— Olympus Is Laughing (@IsOlympus) August 17, 2021
It’s not surprising when Junior talks out of his ass since he seems to want to be just like his daddy.
