Saratoga, N.Y. - Today, House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik released the following statement to mark the third anniversary of the Biden-Harris Catastrophic Afghanistan Withdrawal.
“Today marks three years since the Biden-Harris Administration’s colossal failure in the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Americans must never forget the 13 service members who lost their lives and the Gold Star families they left behind in this completely preventable tragedy. We honor their lives and their sacrifices and we must continue to demand answers, transparency, and accountability.
Kamala Harris was the last person in the room with Joe Biden when he made the disastrous decision to withdraw from Afghanistan. Kamala Harris owns this catastrophic withdrawal and proves just how incompetent, incapable, and dangerous she would be as our nation’s commander in chief.
As the Representative for Fort Drum and the 10th Mountain Division in Congress, I will continue to hold Joe Biden and Kamala Harris accountable for this failure. I have demanded the Biden-Harris Administration declassify documents pertaining to the catastrophic withdrawal because the American people, especially our Gold Star Families, deserve the truth. The cost of Biden and Harris’ failed and reckless leadership is beyond measurable, leading to lives lost and our adversaries being emboldened due to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ weakness and inability to lead.
Today we honor and never forget those 13 brave service members and their Gold Star families. We must continue to deliver accountability.”
