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

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.

You didn’t deter anything. Your hands are just as bloody. Sit down. https://t.co/ZqSCymkhZE

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

“Become” a thing on the right? They elected a guy who tried to implement a ban on Muslim immigrants and wanted him re-elected. https://t.co/I1tlunUSu5

The thing that upsets me about the situation in Afghanistan isn't that it collapsed so quickly--that was a foreseeable consequence of the entire policy. Rather, it's that we didn't evacuate our allies first while we still had a robust security infrastructure to do it.
