And the cultists say, "Great Job Mr. President."

With the evacuation of the U.S. embassy in Haiti last week, President Joe Biden extended his historic lead for fleeing embassies – a dubious distinction once held by Barack Obama.

That’s according to the Daily Signal, which dug into the records and found that as the world has slipped into chaos over the past three years, the U.S. has been forced to withdraw from embassy after embassy.

“Since Biden took office in January 2021, his State Department has partially or fully evacuated 11 U.S. embassies via what are known as authorized or ordered departure directives,” writes Tony Kinnett. The number is actually 14 if you count the fact that this is the fourth time Biden has ordered Americans to bolt from the U.S. embassy in Haiti.

Biden is now well ahead of Obama, who ran from eight embassies over his eight years in office (which included those in Egypt, Libya, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and South Sudan). During Donald Trump’s term, only three embassies were evacuated, Kinnett reports.


The Biden embassy evacuation timeline:

  • Burma, March 2021
  • Chad, April 2021
  • Afghanistan, July 2021
  • Ethiopia, November 2021
  • Ukraine, February 2022
  • Belarus, February 2022
  • Russia, February 2022
  • Nigeria, October 2022
  • Sudan, April 2023
  • Niger, August 2023
  • Haiti, November 2021, December 2022, July 2023, March 2024
This record of failure is particularly noteworthy given that Biden bumbled his way into office promising to “restore America’s standing in the world,” which is still listed on a White House website as an “immediate priority” of his administration.

Biden also specifically promised to help Haiti. As Time magazine reported a couple of years ago:
