TFG and some Republicans are praising the Taliban to criticize Biden despite years of chest-thumping

over jihadist terrorism

Just weeks before the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks by Islamist terrorists, some of the US's most prominent Republicans are now praising the Taliban to own the libs.

Former President Donald Trump and other Republicans have in recent days used the radical militant group's takeover in Afghanistan to air their grievances against President Joe Biden, "big tech," and Trump's Twitter ban - even as the militants violently cracked down on protests against their rule and people trying to escape.

During an appearance on Fox News host Sean Hannity's show Tuesday night, Trump falsely claimed the Taliban has been around for "a thousand years" (the organization was founded in 1994), and lauded the group as being "smart" and having "good fighters."

Hours earlier, Trump's son Donald Trump Jr. took to Twitter to voice his support for the jihadist group's false claim that civil rights issues in Afghanistan under Taliban rule are comparable to the free speech debate in the US.

Hannity and Trump should get a room. Heck Donny's got plenty.
