Grieving Families Of Afghanistan Bombing Victims Take Aim At Harris
HuffPost
At a Capitol Hill news conference, some family members of the 13 U.S. troops killed at the Kabul airport warn against the vice president being elected to the top job.
A day before a congressional medal ceremony honoring their children, parents of some of the 13 U.S. troops killed in the August 2021 attack on the Kabul, Afghanistan, airport criticized Vice President Kamala Harris and the White House for not doing enough to prevent the bombing.
The comments also came on the eve of the first and possibly only presidential debate in 2024, which will see Harris take on former President Donald Trump. The remarks were made at a news conference called by House Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) to discuss the release of a Republican report on the attack that is critical of the White House, the State Department and the National Security Council.
“So many lies and cover-ups by this administration. I speak to Americans: We have been in a downward spiral since the Biden-Harris administration took office,” said Paula Knauss Selph, the mother of Staff Sgt. Ryan Christian Knauss, who died in the attack amid evacuations as the U.S. pulled out of its war in Afghanistan.
“President Trump is certainly not perfect. But he is a far better choice in my opinion than the mess that Biden and Harris have created since Kabul and onward,” she said.
