Lindsey Graham predicts "parade of horribles" in Afghanistan

Washington — Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina lambasted President Biden for his execution of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, warning a "parade of horribles" is set to unfold with U.S. citizens and Afghan allies left in the country after Tuesday's deadline.

"It's been a very emotional couple of days for all of us. The parade of horribles are about to unfold," Graham said in an interview with "Face the Nation. "We're leaving thousands of Afghan allies behind who fought bravely with us. We're going to leave hundreds of American citizens behind. The chance of another 9/11 just went through the roof."

Mr. Biden has continued to stick with his August 31 deadline for the conclusion of the U.S. mission in Afghanistan, and the Pentagon has begun its draw down of remaining troops sent to Kabul to help the State Department with the evacuations of thousands of U.S. citizens and Afghans who aided American forces during the 20-year war.

Since August 14, 114,400 people have been airlifted out of Afghanistan, according to a White House official, including 2,900 over a 24-hour period that began early Saturday morning. Jake Sullivan, Mr. Biden's national security adviser, told "Face the Nation" the Biden administration believes roughly 300 Americans are still in the country.

Lindsey dear, if you're more upset with Afghanistan than you are of Jan. 6 you're not a real American.

The former guy had eight or nine months after he made the agreement, he could’ve brought as many as he wanted here. He didn’t want them

Sponsored by his 5000 freed terrorists and the new President of Afghanistan.

Just STFU.

So, do you think this self-serving wasted of skin even has a single actual friend or just people he attaches to while he thinks they can do things for him?

Carlson followed by Hannity and then Ingraham. That’s a parade of horribles.
