A scathing House GOP report has revealed that the Biden-Harris administration prioritized optics over security during the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, leading to the tragic deaths of 13 soldiers.
The House Republican report on the Afghanistan withdrawal has painted a damning picture of the Biden-Harris administration's handling of the crisis, accusing them of prioritizing optics over security. The report concludes that the Biden-Harris administration's decision to withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan without a comprehensive plan led to the collapse of the Afghan government and the Taliban's swift takeover of the country.
The report's findings are based on a thorough investigation that included interviews with military officials, diplomats, and intelligence analysts. The investigators found that the Biden-Harris administration ignored warnings from the military and intelligence community about the risks of a hasty withdrawal. They also discovered that the administration failed to adequately plan for the evacuation of U.S. citizens and Afghan allies, leading to the chaotic scenes at the Kabul airport.

The report is particularly critical of Vice President Kamala Harris, who was tasked with overseeing the withdrawal.

The report's findings have been met with widespread condemnation from both Democrats and Republicans. Many have called for the resignation of Biden and Harris, while others have demanded that Congress hold hearings on the matter.
