Rep. Michael McCaul Torches Blinken for ‘Betrayal’ of Afghan Allies Amid Withdrawal

Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) is taking aim at Secretary of State Antony Blinken and President Joe Biden for the administration’s handling of the withdrawal from 🇦🇫Afghanistan and failure to evacuate every Afghan ally.

During a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on 🇦🇫Afghanistan with Secretary of State 👤Antony Blinken on Monday, McCaul said in his opening statement, “Mr. Secretary, the American people don’t like to lose, especially not to the terrorists. But that is exactly what has happened. This has emboldened the Taliban and our adversaries.”

“To make matters worse, we abandoned Americans behind enemy lines. We left behind interpreters who you, Mr. Secretary, and the president both promised to protect. I can summarize this in one word: Betrayal. The America I know keeps its promises. The most important promise in our military is ‘no man left behind,’ ‘no one left behind.’ But you broke this promise,” he continued.
