Pence slams Biden over 'disasterous' Afghanistan withdrawal

Former Vice President Mike Pence this week blasted President Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal, calling it "disastrous."

"The Biden administration's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan is a foreign-policy humiliation unlike anything our country has endured since the Iran hostage crisis," Pence wrote in an op-ed published by The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday.

Pence cited Biden's July remarks that the "Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country [of Afghanistan] is highly unlikely," with Pence noting it is now becoming a "horrifying reality."

The Taliban took control of Afghanistan on Sunday after sweeping into Kabul, taking control of the country in a matter of days following the exit of U.S. troops.

Oh STFU Pence. You won't get elected in 2024 because your nose has been buried up Trump's hiney for too long.

Pence continues to suffer from selective amnesia, conveniently forgetting the “deal” Trump made during his “great” meeting with the Taliban.

And how embarrassing for him to run like a scared child away from Trump's goons.

Just like health care, just like Covid, just like infrastructure. Whine, whine, whine, while they do nothing but obstruct.
