McCaul: Biden will have 'blood on his hands' over Afghanistan withdrawal [View all]




The top Republican on the House Foreign Relations Committee on Sunday said President Biden will have “blood on his hands” over the withdrawal of the US military from Afghanistan — as Taliban fighters entered Kabul and American troops raced to evacuate staffers from the US Embassy.

Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) said the US troop pullout has been “an unmitigated disaster of epic proportions.

“This is going to be a stain on this president and his presidency,” McCaul said on CNN’s “State of the Union” as Biden spends the weekend out of the public eye at Camp David.

“And I think he’s going to have blood on his hands from what they did,” the congressman added, referring to the Biden administration.

“They totally blew this one, they completely underestimated the strength of the Taliban.”
