James Comer: Taliban Flag Over Kabul 'Is Joe Biden's Legacy'
The "Premature Evacuation" will go down as one of the biggest military blunders in American history, and it's all Joe Biden's fault.
Biden's decision to rush American forces out of Afghanistan practically overnight while leaving behind millions of dollars of equipment and even more valuable American lives, that is.
Thirteen American troops died because of Biden's decision.
As a result of the catastrophe, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer held a hearing on April 19 covering Biden's famous blunder.
"Americans watched as people so desperate to flee clung to the landing gear of airplanes taking off and fell from the sky when the planes did not stop. Americans watched as parents handed their infants over to U.S. soldiers," Comer said in his opening statement. "And they watched as billions of dollars of U.S. equipment—trucks, aircraft, weaponry — was just abandoned to the Taliban."
Then he hit us with words that just may be remembered forever:
Today, the Taliban flag flies over Kabul. This is Joe Biden’s legacy.
“Let me be clear, I was in favor of leaving Afghanistan, but it should never have been done like this.”
Today, the Taliban flag flies over Kabul. This is Joe Biden’s legacy.
