The Pentagon’s Deputy Press Secretary has addressed Biden’s claim that no members of the U.S. military have died under his watch.
During a press conference, Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh acknowledged that service members have indeed died under Biden’s leadership, debunking yet another of Joe Biden’s lies.
In the Thursday night’s debate, Biden claimed he’s the only president this century not to have any troops killed during his term.
It’s widely known that in 2021, under Joe Biden, 13 American troops died during his botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.
After Singh dodged the question the first time, a reporter asked her directly, “This is a question to the Pentagon: Has President Biden had service members die anywhere in the world while he’s been in office?”
Singh responded, “We have certainly had service members pass during this administration.”

Fox News reported:
President Biden claimed during the CNN Presidential Debate Simulcast Thursday night that he is “the only president this century” and “this decade” that did not have any troops “dying anywhere in the world”—failing to acknowledge the 13 fallen service members who were killed during his administration’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal.
Biden answered a question from CNN debate moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash related to the economy. He went through former President Trump’s tax cuts and the economy under his predecessor’s administration.
“The greatest economy in the world? He’s the only one who thinks that,” Biden said of Trump. “I don’t know anybody else who thinks they have the greatest economy in the world.”
“He had the largest tax cut in history–$2 trillion—he raised the deficit larger than any president has at any one time,” Biden continued.
But Biden shifted to Afghanistan.
Biden said Trump “didn’t do anything” about Afghanistan.
BIDEN: "I’m the only president this century – this decade, that doesn’t have any troops dying anywhere in the world."
