Out of all the dumb positions to take right now, “anti Afghan refugee acceptance” is the absolute dumbest.

If you're not demanding your party unanimously and loudly reject this view, and back it up with necessary legislation, you're playing both sides.https://t.co/ktLIab7zKk

Yeah the last thing conservatives should want is family-oriented people who work hard and love the United States. We need more eighth-generation people who think that a political disagreement is traumatizing. https://t.co/n4BYLSWOB0

Imagine prioritizing fears about Tucker Carlson being mean to you over the safety of tens of thousands of people. https://t.co/365gIt93Zf

I like when people are like “would you want refugees as your neighbors?” Hell yes I would.

the same Rs who cheered Trump for getting out, blame Biden for abandoning Afghans - whom they don't want to let in as refugees. pardon me if I don't listen to a damn thing they have to say.

I’m sorry, but did President Biden undermine democracy or incite an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol in the last few days?

No?

STFU about him resigning. He’s your President and will be for AT LEAST 3 more years. Deal with it.

Fox has been openly reciting white replacement theory — the anchor bolt of white supremacy — since Trump endorsed the Charlottesville nazis who chanted “Jews will not replace us”

Journalists unfamiliar with Fox should call this white supremacy, not just “anti-refugee rhetoric” pic.twitter.com/UFu2mQdySp

Forget the 'forever war' nonsense. People are about to die--right now, about to die--for us, because they helped us, because they trusted us, and these deaths are preventable. We didn't have to 'stay in Afghanistan another 20 years' to evacuate personnel first.

Yes, with nominee Donald Trump saying Biden is weak because he didn't tell our troops to shoot them in the legs before they got to the runway. https://t.co/8bu14Ck528

Clarissa Ward, risking her life to report live on the ground where people are yelling "death to America."

Ted Cruz, cowering like a whimpering suckhole when Trump insults his wife and father.

Who's the brave one in this scenario?

As if that's the most important thing here: being mad at CNN. Some folks need to locate a grip and then get it. https://t.co/96Pwm69S38

Damn it, Ted. Is this all you’ve got? Afghan women and children are dying because of a withdrawal you cheered when it was Trump’s idea, and the most you can muster is to take cheap shots at CNN’s coverage?

You shouldn’t be a Senator. https://t.co/ofNCWxomDV

More scenes from an unserious nation: A man who looks to be 40ish basically menaces an old lady like he's a delinquent teenager after his first few beers.
This is the country that was supposed to figure out a pandemic and Afghanistan, but can't even ride a subway like an adult. https://t.co/Jh2RdtOCwj

Every Afghan refugee coming to America--and it would be great if we could help as many as "a couple hundred thousand" to escape--will have done more to help American troops, and American civilians serving our country, than Charlie Kirk every has. https://t.co/CdKZCCm2BO

Almost every Afghan refugee will turn out to be so much better an American than Charlie Kirk. https://t.co/CdKZCCm2BO

Let one refugee from Afghanistan come here and kill someone with his car and I suspect their sympathizers on the American right will dwindle.

I’ve very concerned about the Taliban overthrowing the government in Afghanistan. But I’m not interested in hearing the grandstanding from politicians that tried to overthrow our own government on January 6th.

Oh Trump can’t memory hole this. Real Americans won’t forget. Right @DanScavino? You tweeted all the #Afghanistan stuff… https://t.co/oUp3s9nH6i
