Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) slammed President Joe Bidens botched exit from Afghanistan on Sunday, claiming that everyone saw this coming except the President.
The Biden Administrations botched exit from Afghanistan including the frantic evacuation of Americans and vulnerable Afghans from Kabul is a shameful failure of American leadership, McConnell wrote in a statement. The rapid advance of the Taliban was expected after the US abandonment of Afghan security forces. The plight of innocent Afghans was predicted, and the challenges of safely evacuating US personnel and innocent Afghans have been magnified by our inexplicable withdrawal from Bagram Air Base.
The withdrawal from Afghanistan has resulted in the Taliban making major gains including seizing Kabul and issues evacuating both U.S. troops and Afghans who assisted them.
Everyone saw this coming except the President, who publicly and confidently dismissed these threats just a few weeks ago, McConnell claimed. The strategic, humanitarian, and moral consequences of this self-inflicted wound will hurt our country and distract from other challenges for years to come.
