Republicans swore not to forget the 13 servicemembers that died in Afghanistan on the two-year anniversary of their deaths, and blamed the loss on President Biden’s withdrawal from the country.
The servicemembers and nearly 200 Afghan civilians were killed at the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul when a suicide bomber detonated a bomb at a congested airport gate.
“Two years ago today, we tragically lost 13 brave servicemen and women in Afghanistan,” Mr. McCarthy said on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “I have directed the flags at the U.S. Capitol to be lowered to half-staff in honor of these American heroes.” The Biden administration blamed former President Donald Trump for the messy withdrawal earlier this year, saying that President Biden was “severely constrained by conditions” created by Mr. Trump who had previously negotiated the withdrawal.
The House Oversight Committee launched a probe and held a hearing on the administration’s handling of the withdrawal earlier this year to get answers on the exit, which left troops dead, Kabul in the hands of the Taliban, and behind military equipment worth billions of dollars.Nation,” Ms. Stefanik said on X. “That day, House Republicans vowed that we would hold President Biden and his Administration accountable for their disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal.
