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?
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
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.
You are the very last person who should be talking. You started this retreat. You helped invite these barbarians to Camp David on 9/11 & you had to call off the meeting because they began killing people again.
Ronna McDaniel, @GOPChairwoman, why did you just delete this from the Republican Party’s website, praising Donald Trump on his deal with the Taliban? pic.twitter.com/Jg08WWZR5i
Translation: “The Afghanistan catastrophe is largely on Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld but because I think history doesn’t exist and I prefer propaganda I’ll blame it on the guy who has been president for seven months and pretend the past two decades never happened.” https://t.co/3JBeYSRa1u
The Biden administration has failed miserably. Inexcusable.
But Trump administration negotiations literally provided the Taliban with battlefield reinforcements. Among its many, many flaws - the deal required the Afghan government to release 5000 Taliban prisoners. https://t.co/32kJkaS1cf
Miller’s maternal ancestors came to the U.S. and avoided anti-Jewish pogroms in Belarus. He wants to deny fleeing Afghans the same opportunity to avoid being massacred. He is a truly awful human being. https://t.co/CDro98eBCq
I think David is right here, but I'll foot-stomp this again: They were trying to avoid "blame and shame" because there was no way to have an adult discussion with the American public - or its elected reps - that didn't involve partisan accusations of "losing the war." https://t.co/Yjz4DEfNXD
Yes, I will take the inevitable fall of Kabul (since it's what the American people have demanded for years) over a president who tried to set the Constitution on fire, overturn an election, and sell out America to its enemies. That's my choice? Then yes, I'll take that trade-off. https://t.co/BoKEnLljpv
