Only liberal America could be more upset over an encrypted messenger app slip-up than a shambolic exit from Afghanistan that got Americans killed. Democrats think they smell blood in the water, as the media-manufactured fallout from the leaked Signal chat story continues to make the Left all giddy over nothing. 

National Security Adviser Michael Waltz set up a chat with top officials, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, about anti-Houthi operations and accidentally added notorious anti-Trump fake news writer Jeffrey Goldberg. The editor-in-chief of The Atlantic claimed top-secret war plans were revealed. Not true. CIA Director John Ratcliffe, who was also on the chain, denied this; Goldberg said he would not divulge the rest of the texts but did so anyway because his story was dying. Still, no war plans were discussed in the new texts.
