Dan Crenshaw warns of ‘no ability to keep Americans safe’

Rep. Dan Crenshaw, a Texas Republican, said that “we have no ability to keep Americans safe” after the Pentagon said it is “possible” the United States will work with the Taliban and ISIS-K in Afghanistan.

“Look at every big mission that we’ve had that the public knows about for the last decade or so,” Crenshaw said Thursday on Fox News. “Osama bin Laden, Soleimani, Baghdadi. Everybody likes those. A lot of the people who think we shouldn’t be anywhere in the world except on our own shores, they say, ‘See, we can just go do that kind of stuff, and we don’t have to have a forward presence.'”
