'Not American': Adam Kinzinger Slams GOP Fearmongering About Afghan Refugees
HuffPost
The GOP lawmaker, who served in Afghanistan, slammed right-wing media for stoking fears about refugees.
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) on Sunday slammed right-wing media and politicians engaging in “fearmongering” rhetoric about Afghans seeking refuge from the Taliban in America. Kinzinger, an Air Force veteran who flew missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, has been highly critical of both the Biden and Trump administration’s contributions to failures in Afghanistan leading to the Taliban takeover this month. Thousands of people are still trying to escape the country a week after insurgents overthrew the capital and much of the country. Appearing on CNN, Kinzinger said that though he believes the blame lies with both parties, things “can’t continue with just pointing fingers while America’s embarrassed in front of the world.”More Related News
