GOP takes down 2020 page touting Trump's 'historic peace agreement with the Taliban'

One of the few areas of foreign policy President Biden and former President Donald Trump agreed on was ending the two-decade-long war in Afghanistan. With the Taliban's effective capture of Kabul, Afghanistan's capital, it appears the war is over two weeks before Biden's deadline, with a chaotic final rush to the exit. Biden is standing by his decision to pull out U.S. forces and contractors, but the Republican Party appears to be tiptoeing backward from Trump's role.

The Republican National Committee has removed a page from the 2020 campaign that says "Biden has had a history of pushing for endless wars" while "Trump has continued to take the lead in peace talks as he signed a historic peace agreement with the Taliban in Afghanistan, which would end America's longest war," The Washington Post's David Weigel noted Sunday.

They will use this to BURY 1/6-anything and take heat off Rs handling of COVID.

Be preparred and take plenty of Xanax.

It is going to be NON-STOP criticism with a heavy dose of revisionist history from Rs for a loooooooong time.
