Republican lawmakers are denouncing President Biden's admin. for the Taliban's aggressive takeover of Afghanistan.
, a spokesman for the group said. The Taliban ordered their fighters to enter Kabul because they believed police had deserted all their positions, a Taliban spokesman told NBC News. NBC News could not confirm these claims."This is an unmitigated disaster of epic proportions," said Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, on CNN"State of the Union.""This will be a stain on Biden’s presidency and he will have blood on his hands.
The Biden administration"totally blew this one" and completely underestimated the strength of the Taliban, said McCaul, who is the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. A White House official said on Sunday that Biden had spoken to members of his national security team “on the situation in Afghanistan" and would continue to receive updates throughout the day. Biden has continued to defend his decision.
"I was the fourth President to preside over an American troop presence in Afghanistan—two Republicans, two Democrats. I would not, and will not, pass this war onto a fifth," Biden said in a statement on Saturday."The President is to be commended for the clarity of purpose of his statement on Afghanistan and his action," said Pelosi
