]]> Biden took major hits this week, from the Pentagon confirming that a “tragic mistake” led to 10 civilians in Afghanistan dying in a drone strike, to the Food and Drug Administration rejecting his vaccine booster proposal, with much of the news breaking as the president headed to the beach for vacation. 

“So the U.S. drone strike did NOT kill any ISIS-K but did kill 10 innocent civilians, including 7 children. Unbelievable. The Biden administration is a sad, tragic mess and an utter embarrassment on the world stage!,” Trump-era White House press secretary and Fox News contributor Kayleigh McEnany tweeted on Friday. 

Pentagon admits drone strike killed civilians

U.S. Marine Corps Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, commander of U.S. Central Command, told reporters on Friday that an Aug. 29 drone strike targeting ISIS actually killed 10 civilians in Afghanistan, not terrorists. 

“As the combatant commander, I am fully responsible for this strike and its tragic outcome,” McKenzie said. 

“I offer my profound condolences to the family and friends of those who were killed,” McKenzie said.

McKenzie’s announcement follows White House press secretary Jen Psaki and others in the administration describing the Aug. 29 drone strike as a success amid the U.S.’s withdrawal from Afghanistan last month. 

But now, the White House is facing even more criticisms on its Afghanistan handling, following harsh blowback it already received when 13 U.S. service members were killed in Kabul by a suicide bomber.

FDA panel rejects booster shots for general public as pushed by White House

An FDA panel rejected distributing booster shots to the general public, but recommended Pfizer’s booster for high-risk people aged 65 and older after the Biden administration pushed to roll out a booster shot campaign on Sept. 20.

France recalls ambassador after submarine deal

In another foreign policy hit, France pulled its ambassador to the U.S. from Washington, D.C., following the announcement of a pact between Australia, the U.S. and the U.K. to give Australia nuclear-powered submarines in what is seen as an effort to counter China.

The reports sparked a torrent of criticisms levelled at Biden, including condemnation that the news was breaking as Biden travelled to a Delaware beach for a long weekend.
