Today, Rep. Estes (R-Kansas) issued the following statement on the events in Afghanistan.
"President Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal has turned into an absolute catastrophe. No amount of media spin from the White House can detract from the horrific fall of Kabul – something which was preventable following proper planning. Instead of using the conditional drawdown, the Biden Harris administration set a hard deadline for Sept. 11 and made no real plan other than pleading with the Taliban – so make no mistake, this surrender is Biden's fault. Just last month Biden told reporters that 'speed is safety' when it comes to the drawdown. He clearly was wrong."
