Pennsylvania Congressman says 'Biden fully knew that there was going to be a disaster in Afghanistan'

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Congressman Guy Reschenthaler, of Pennsylvania's 14th District, says a leaked transcript of a phone call between President Biden and Afghanistan President Ghani shows the commander in chief lied about the threat of a Taliban takeover in Afghanistan.

"The transcript was leaked and it shows that Biden fully knew that there was going to be a disaster in Afghanistan, that the Taliban was rolling in, and he was begging and groveling to President Ghani to change the quote-unquote 'perception,'" Reschenthaler said during the KDKA Radio Morning Show Thursday.

The Congressman says the reality did not matter - what mattered in the call was the perception.

"We had one president that was impeached over a phone call," said Reschenthaler. "The bar has been so lowered now that we can now have another president impeached over a phone call. I'm not saying that's going to happen, but this clearly opens the door to impeachment proceedings."
