Cotton Warns, ‘We’re Going To Leave Our Countrymen Behind’ in Afghanistan Unless Biden Changes Course

Arkansas Republican Sen. 👤Tom Cotton is warning that if President 👤Joe Biden keeps to his deadline of leaving 🇦🇫Afghanistan by the end of August, Americans are going to be left in danger.

“If President Biden leaves 🇦🇫Afghanistan by August 31, he risks leaving American citizens behind,” Cotton wrote in a Twitter post Monday.

“I think that President Biden is timid and fearful of the Taliban,” Cotton said during a “Fox & Friends” interview on Monday he posted with the tweet.

“Frankly, with Nancy Pelosi calling the House back today to vote on their $3.5 trillion budget, I also think they also just want this problem to go away. They want it off the front pages so they can talk about their reckless spending plan,” he added.

“But that means that we’re at risk of leaving thousands of Americans behind Taliban lines. Because if we’re going to be out by Aug. 31, which is just a week from tomorrow, that means that the military is going to have to start rolling up shop before then and we’re going to leave our countrymen behind.”

The senator also criticized Secretary of State Antony Blinken
