Fox News
House and Senate Republicans are doubling down on their commitment to investigate the decisions leading to Biden's "disastrous" Afghanistan withdrawal, but Democrats are shying away from publicly blaming President Biden and his administration.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Ranking Member Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, told Fox News Friday that Blinken was did not adequately defend the administration's decisions during the hearing and renewed his vow to continue to uncover how the "tragedy" of the Afghanistan withdrawal unfolded.
"As the entire House Foreign Affairs Committee saw in this week’s hearing, Secretary Blinken struggled to defend the haphazard decisions that he and President Biden made that led to the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. This week I announced that Committee Republicans hired an investigator to join our team as we look into this systemic failure, and I hope that we are able to work together to come to an accurate conclusion and determine how this absolute tragedy could have been avoided," said McCaul.
