Reps. Scalise, Mast: Biden's Afghanistan exit is a disgrace and it's one of many avoidable disasters

This week, President Biden and his fellow Democrats in Congress prioritized ramming through their $3.5 trillion tax and spending spree instead of focusing all their energy on rescuing every American that they stranded behind enemy lines.

House Republicans’ number one priority is to make sure every single American who has been stranded behind enemy lines is safely returned home to the United States. No excuses.  Yet, President Biden wasted precious limited time this week working the phones to pressure House Democrats to pass a $3.5 trillion far-left tax and spending spree, instead of using every minute to rescue Americans who are abandoned because of his botched exit. As he made those calls, our troops were racing against an artificial timeline that, incredulously, was set by the Taliban, a terrorist organization, not by our commander in chief.
