Rep. James Comer (R-KY): Biden Is Showing “Arrogance” By Not Taking Responsibility For Afghanistan

On Fox Across America with Jimmy Failla, Rep. James Comer (R-KY) explained why President Biden is showing “arrogance” by not taking responsibility for the mistakes made in Afghanistan.

“He needs to be transparent with America. If there was an intelligence failure that led the Biden administration to think that the Afghan forces, who we trained for the past 19 years would actually fight back, then someone at the highest levels of the intelligence community needs to be fired. If it was a military breakdown, if the military advised against having air raids when the Taliban was advancing towards Kabul, then someone in the highest ranks of the military need to be held accountable. What we’ve seen out of the Biden administration is he’s holding no one accountable when he actually said after the first day, the buck stops with him. So if you’re looking at holding someone accountable at the highest levels, in my mind would be Joe Biden. But at the very least, someone in the intelligence community or someone in the military or in the State Department, why don’t we know how many Americans are over there? That should have been a function of the Secretary of State. So it’s a level of arrogance that they want to hold no one accountable. And they’re just brushing it off like, well, the American public wanted us to get out of there, Donald Trump made the first move. I mean, you have to accept responsibility for the abysmal failure of the evacuation and withdrawal.”
