Democrats refuse to hold the Biden Administration accountable for this disaster, and the legacy media is hard at work sweeping its impacts under the rug, but Republicans will not forget.

Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON, D.C. – This week marks a terrible milestone: one year since President Biden’s shameful Afghanistan withdrawal. Joe Biden’s presidency will forever be characterized by chaos and failure—nowhere more evident than in the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan that allowed the Taliban to quickly reassert control over the country for the first time in 20 years, resulted in the killing of 13 U.S. service members and at least 170 Afghans in an ISIS-K orchestrated terrorist attack, damaged relationships with our allies, and made our country less safe.
I have been vigilant in holding the Biden Administration accountable for this disaster. I am proud to have helped bring over 600 Afghani pilots, servicemembers, and their families to safety — including family members from Texas-11. Additionally, the bill I authored to assess the threat of freed terrorists has been signed into law, and my efforts have forced the Biden Administration to report on the number of known and suspected terrorists crossing the southern border.Democrats refuse to hold the Biden Administration accountable for this disaster, and the legacy media is hard at work sweeping its impacts under the rug, but Republicans will not forget. We are determined to deliver accountability for Biden’s failed withdrawal.
Republicans on the Foreign Affairs committee released a report detailing the devastation of the Taliban seizing power and the long-term impacts of the withdrawal. I encourage you to read through an digest just how broad the devastation reaches.
The U.S. spent nearly two decades expending blood and treasure fighting the Taliban, denying Al Qaeda a terrorist stronghold, instituting democratic values, and building relationships with our Afghan partners. Sadly, the threat of future terror attacks on American citizens is now higher than ever.
I will remain vigilant in calling attention to the record numbers of known and suspected terrorists and got-aways crossing our southern border, as well as the resurgence of terror groups abroad.Serving his first term in the U.S. House of Representatives, Congressman August Pfluger represents a total of 29 Counties in Texas’ 11th Congressional District – including the cities of San Angelo, Llano, Brownwood, Granbury, Midland, Odessa, and much of the Permian Basin... the top Oil & Gas Rroducing Region in America.
