The left-wing media has come out with its latest hoax, deceiving voters by claiming Taliban leader Abdul Ghani Baradar “doesn’t exist” and is just a made-up person that Trump referred to during his first debate with Kamala Harris.
This is one of the most dishonest “fact-checks” of Trump’s debate performance in addition to the moderator’s one-sided fact-checking of Trump in the middle of the debate.
During the debate, Trump warned the country, “The Taliban killed our soldiers, with snipers, many, with snipers … I was involved. And Abdul is the head of the Taliban. He is still the head of the Taliban, and I told Abdul, ‘Don’t do it again. You do it again, you’re in trouble.’ And he said, ‘Why did you send me a picture of my house?’ I said, ‘You should know, Abdul.’ And for 18 months there was no killing.
Trump has told this story many times in recent years when talking about his foreign policy and world peace record.
Before the debate, Abdul was a real person and the founder of the Taliban. According to Al Jazeera, after the withdrawal of Joe Biden from Afghanistan, which killed 13 US Service Members in 2021, Abdul “was named as the deputy leader of the new government of Afghanistan … Known as Mullah Baradar, he emerged as the number two Taliban. after the death of Mullah Mohammad Omar in 2013.
Gateway Pundit reported in August 2021 that Abdul Ghani Baradar was appointed as the leader of the Taliban and would take control of the government.

But now that Trump is referring to Abdul in a debate with Kamala, Abdul Ghani Baradar is a “non-existent person,” according to left-wing columnist Joy Ried. Nicole Wallace added, “No one has been able to confirm who this Taliban man named Abdul is, that he is talking about.”
MSNBC responded to Trump’s mention of Abdul during the debate in a coordinated and ignorant manner:
Ried: This is the part where Donald Trump finds people. They found people who didn’t exist other than those who were said to be eating dogs. This is someone else who doesn’t exist. His name is Abdul… Maybe the reason VP Harris sees him like that is because he thinks maybe he should go back to his parents’ house and have a bowl of Jello. Or he might think to himself, “no, no, no, the head of the Taliban whose name is not Abdul” is Hibatullah Akhundzada. So, maybe he can’t remember. You know, I have to write to understand. What do you think of his response to making Abdul an unrealistic person?
Wallace: No one has been able to confirm for sure who this Taliban man named Abdul is, who he is talking about.
WATCH:
CNN also mocked Trump, saying he was racist and only chose Arab names, in a recent “comedy show”:
However, just a few years ago, the same leftist media referred to Abdul Ghani Baradar as “the man who now leads the Taliban in Afghanistan.” Mike Pence also confirmed that President Trump spoke with Abdul, and “he knows President Trump means business.”

Another viral X post blasts Democrats and the leftist media for pushing this hoax:
Dishonest and corrupt media in all its glory.
“There was no Abdul. Trump made it.”
In 2021, before his full resignation, CIA Director Biden met with the same Abdul who he now claims does not exist.

Before the debate, Abdul Ghani Baradar was the leader and founder of the Taliban.
After Trump mentioned them during the debate, MSNBC’s Joy Reid and Nicole Wallace now claim they weren’t real.
These are the same people who are pushing to censor “misinformation and disinformation.” https://t.co/eNLJxF0l6U pic.twitter.com/x5ADG0IKSs

A ‘national security analyst’ as he said in his profile, did not realize that the founder of the Taliban, in fact named, “Abdul.” His full name is Abdul Ghani Baradar. Hard to believe the complete ignorance of people in ‘control’ now. wow https://t.co/pmG9801ykP
