Dems Join GOP in Rebuking Biden Officials Over Afghanistan Withdrawal

It turns out that Republicans and Democrats can agree on something.

That something would be that Joe Biden and his administration blew the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

In a shocking bipartisan vote, the House passed legislation to rebuke numerous Biden officials for their roles and lies regarding the Afghanistan withdrawal that cost 13 American troops their lives.

Bipartisan Outage

In all, 10 Democrats crossed over to support the legislation, which was not received well by ranking Democrats or the White House.

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) introduced the measure, citing numerous Biden officials, including Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

McCaul stated, "At every step, the administration prioritized the optics and politics of the withdrawal over the security of U.S. personnel and diplomats on the ground.

"Rather than admit their failure, this administration continues to this day to celebrate their deadly evacuation. Never once have they said, ‘I am sorry,’ to the Gold Star families."

House Foreign Affairs Ranking Member Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.) was very critical of the legislation, stating, "This resolution, as I've said all along, is nothing more than political theater designed to score cheap points rather than address the real issues at hand.

"It's a distortion of the facts and a disservice to the American people, a disservice to our servicemembers, a disservice to our diplomats – all of who put their lives on the line during our 20-year war efforts.

"Their sacrifices should not be used as a political football.

"We should be working on real solutions, supporting our Afghan allies, ensuring that we learn the right lessons, and providing accountability based on truth, not partisan narratives."

Biden wanted to take credit for anything that went right, which was nothing from my point of view, while blaming the bad orange man for everything that went wrong.

In truth, it was Biden’s plan, and Biden abandoned Americans behind enemy lines.

If the media would not hold him accountable, at least Congress finally has.
