(PALM BEACH) – Today marks three years since the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan which led to the tragic loss of thirteen U.S. service members, countless innocent Afghan lives, the surrender of billions of dollars worth of American military equipment, and Taliban control of Afghanistan.
To rub salt in this deep wound, the Taliban held a parade yesterday with our abandoned equipment. It’s more than clear: our adversaries do not fear us, and the Biden-Harris administration has emboldened their actions. The only question is, what will the Taliban do next?
Here are a few key points to remember from this withdrawal:
- Kamala Harris said on live television that she “was the last voice in the room” when the decision was made. (Note, when Biden chose Kamala Harris, he went on record saying he wanted an involved vice president who would be “the last voice in the room.”)
- John Kirby confessed on CNN that the admin had no plan to help abandoned Americans trapped in Afghanistan.
- When pressed by Peter Doocy about stranded Americans, Jen Psaki said, “I think it's irresponsible to say Americans are stranded. They are not.”
While Kamala Harris will spend today likely refusing to acknowledge her role in this tragedy, let’s not forget that she was complicit. Biden AND Harris are responsible for the destruction that occurred as a result of this disaster.
In stark contrast, under President Trump, we had peace and stability across the globe.
As President Trump stated in his economic address yesterday, when he returns to office there will be, "No more wars. No more disruptions. We will have prosperity, and we will have peace."
