Erik Prince hits back at Biden, says Blackwater contractors rescued him
[NYP] Erik Prince, the co-founder of defense contractor Blackwater, is responding after the White House took a shot at him for offering to fly people out of Afghanistan on charter flights for $6,500 a seat — recalling that his contractors once rescued Biden from Taliban territory.The Big Guy just wants his 10% Prince, a former Navy SEAL, added that the Biden administration’s bungling of the evacuation operation and the president’s refusal to extend the deadline have "shattered the confidence" of America’s allies. "So we have shattered the confidence of our European allies and every other ally around the world that America depends, whether you’re a CIA agent trying to recruit somebody to work for you or whether you’re a country that America wants you to compete with — to side with us versus something that the Chinese want — it will definitely figure into people’s thinking how quickly America abandoned its friends in Afghanistan and left in such a horribly chaotic and clumsy manner," Prince told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson in an interview Wednesday night. He also pointed out that Blackwater soldiers had to rescue Biden, Secretary of State John Kerry and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel when they got lost in a snowstorm in 2008.
