Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said Wednesday that President Joe Biden’s management of America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan is an unforgivable failure.
“Biden’s disastrous decision-making has empowered an evil terrorist organization, put millions of Afghan women and children at risk of rape and murder, betrayed the tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers who fought in Afghanistan, and sullied America’s global image,” McDaniel said.

Biden’s exit plan for the country was an “unmitigated disaster,” as well as a “horrifying low point” in U.S. foreign policy history, she said.
“Biden has betrayed our allies and our own military in the wake of his failure. Thousands of translators and Afghan Special Forces who bravely fought alongside American troops now risk being executed in the streets,” she wrote in a Fox News opinion article. “And the sacrifices made by our military men and women — who have fought, been wounded, and died in Afghanistan for decades — have been disrespected beyond measure.”
Our world is less safe because of Biden’s leadership failure. His refusal to personally answer questions, to speak with world leaders or to even guarantee the safe rescue of every American and those who helped our country is a disgrace.

The Biden administration was categorically unprepared for the events unfolding in Afghanistan, McDaniel said.
She referred to Biden’s comment that it was improbable that the Taliban would overrun the country and Pentagon press secretary John Kirby’s Aug. 13 description of the situation in Kabul as not an “imminent threat.”
“Just 48 hours,” she wrote. “That’s how long it took for the Taliban to prove — with horrific violence and brutality — that Biden and his officials were totally unaware of the life-and-death consequences of their actions.”
She added: “Only after immense pressure, Biden returned to the White House — but only to cast blame and refuse responsibility before quickly returning to Camp David.”
Joe Biden is showing he puts his vacation first, national security and the American people last.

“Biden’s Afghanistan disaster has put any questions to rest,” she said. “Joe Biden is a failed president.”
