Mike Pence slams Biden over handling of Afghanistan withdrawal: 'What a disgrace'
Trump administration alumni: Biden ‘failed America,’ created ‘potential genocide’
Former Vice President Mike Pence contended that Biden “failed America” in his execution of the Afghanistan withdrawal by failing to ensure every American citizen who wanted to leave was evacuated by the Aug. 31 deadline.
“What a disgrace,” Pence wrote on Twitter Tuesday, in response to a Republican National Committee ad highlighting Biden’s previous assertion that “If there’s American citizens left, we’re going to stay until we get them all out.”
“Leaving Americans behind is not the American way. Any President of the United States should know that. The President failed Americans and Afghan allies now stranded in Afghanistan. Joe Biden failed America,” he added.
What a disgrace.

Another Trump administration alumnus, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, warned of the potential consequences of the withdrawal from Afghanistan in a piece for the American Center for Law and Justice.
Pompeo, who now serves as senior counsel for global affairs at the conservative advocacy group, proclaimed that “The Biden Administration Has Created a Humanitarian Crisis and Potential Genocide in Afghanistan.”
He added: “Team Biden has left thousands of Americans stranded in Afghanistan at the mercy of radical Islamic extremists. It threw America’s allies under the bus by withdrawing our forces without so much as a phone call to other world leaders, whose people are now stranded there as well. It has opened the door for the beginnings of a genocide against Christians.”
