Trump’s former secretary of state played a key role in the deal with the Taliban. He says Biden botched it. Other Republicans aren’t letting him off the hook.
Pompeo has tried to distance the Trump administration from the current situation in Afghanistan by claiming Biden failed to ensure the Taliban met conditions of the agreement before pulling troops out.
Those close to Pompeo say he recognized early on that a withdrawal deal could be a political quagmire but that he followed President Donald Trump’s order to get American troops out of Afghanistan immediately. "Our secretary of state signed a surrender agreement with the Taliban," Trump national security adviser H.R. McMaster said of Pompeo on a podcast with. "This collapse goes back to the capitulation agreement of 2020. The Taliban didn't defeat us. We defeated ourselves."
“The vulnerability for a Republican in a primary won’t come from wanting to withdraw, I think it’s an isolated vulnerability and it's why did they release the prisoners?” said former Bush White House press secretary Ari Fleischer. “To me that is the flaring issue that could be turned into a vulnerability. But the rest of it — meeting with the Taliban, talking to the Taliban — I don’t think that’s a vulnerability. I think people understand that you should talk.
