WASHINGTON, D.C. — Army veteran Ralphie Parker clutched his War on Christmas Expeditionary Medal as he watched the last flight of soldiers leaving the Mall of America on CNN.
With combat operations in the War on Christmas now over with a humiliating withdrawal, President Biden faces a fresh round of criticism over his decision to suddenly end the generation-long conflict with no plan for a stable peace.
“The war’s been going on for 20 years — c’mon, man,” a visibly distressed Biden said at a news conference. “And hey — if any of you plan on calling Santa for comment, can you ask if he got my letter? I want a pony!” he said before his handlers lured him offstage with a candy cane.
