WASHINGTON, D.C. — First District Congressman Tracey Mann released a statement saying the Biden administration willfully neglected the situation in Afghanistan.
Mann said that President Biden receives regular intelligence information that warns of brewing international trouble well before it materializes. Biden still chose to mislead the American people and ignore the seriousness of Taliban threats, including the threat to overrun the U.S. Embassy in Kabul.
“The Taliban's ability to redistribute their terrorists across the country in only a matter of days is frightening for Americans when hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are already crossing our southern border,” Mann said. “President Biden has left our borders open to American-hating terrorists fleeing Afghanistan and other countries with terrorist regimes. President Biden refuses to consider the safety of Americans 7,400 miles away in Kabul and 950 miles south of Kansas on our southern border.”
Mann went on to say that Biden enacted a near-sighted policy in Afghanistan, stating that Afghans enjoyed freedoms secured to them in part by the United States. They were able to attend school, work where they wanted, vote and live safely. Biden failed to recognize these democratic freedoms or pay respect to the men and women who fought for them when he speedily removed America's presence in the region with no real strategy. He prioritized the Taliban's reputation above the country's developments in the region and reduced his administration's work to pleading with the Taliban.
