Biden Skirts Accountability

Rapid Response

Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan was an unmitigated foreign policy disaster – and it just keeps getting worse. Now, our enemies are emboldened worldwide.

First, Biden promised there was no imminent threat of a Taliban takeover in Afghanistan. Then, Biden lied when he said, “If there are American citizens left, we’re going to stay until we get them all out.” Now, the Biden administration is deliberately skirting Congress – and accountability.

Despite being required by law to do so, the Biden administration missed a November 29 deadline to provide Congress with details on the evacuation of American citizens, refugees, and Special Immigration Visa (SIV) holders from Afghanistan, including “a detailed listing of whom it airlifted out.”

That’s clearly a problem for the Biden administration, which failed to vet tens of thousands of Afghan refugees before they arrived in the United States.

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said he doesn't think Biden's history of broken Afghanistan promises influences his credibility or emboldens America's enemies.

He’s wrong.
