House Minority Whip Rep. Steve Scalise on Sunday slammed “President Biden’s Saigon moment” in Afghanistan amid reports that Taliban insurgents had seized Kabul and most of the region after the U.S. began withdrawing troops.
"It’s a very dire situation when you see the United States embassy being evacuated," the Louisiana Republican said. "In fact, you just had President Biden a few days ago saying you wouldn’t see helicopters evacuating the embassy like Saigon, and yet, here we are. This is President Biden’s Saigon moment, and unfortunately, it was very predictable. "It seems like many in President Biden’s intelligence community got this devastatingly wrong, and I think a lot of questions will be asked later about why just weeks ago they were saying something completely different than what we’re seeing on the ground today in Afghanistan," he said.More Related News
