Critics of Joe Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan have been speaking out against the move, claiming it may not last long. On Sunday, Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R), who served in Afghanistan as a lieutenant in the Air Force, said the withdrawal symbolizes the resolve of the Taliban.
Kinzinger went on to say U.S. troops will likely have to re-enter Afghanistan to quell the Taliban’s offensive in the country. The terrorist organization recently claimed to have recaptured around 85 percent of the Middle Eastern country.

WASHINGTON – Shortly after meeting at the White House on Wednesday, House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy signaled a renewed effort with an aggressive fundraising text targeting his host, the president. I just met with Corrupt Joe Biden and he’s STILL planning to push his radical Socialist agenda onto the American people, the text said.
McCarthy and other Republicans have said intraparty squabbles, including the drama surrounding Rep. Liz Cheney, distracted them from presenting a unified front against Biden and his big spending plans.
Now, with Cheney expelled from Republican congressional leadership, the GOP and its allies are renewing attacks on Biden on issues such as immigration, taxing the wealthy, foreign policy, and the ability of a 78-year-old man to handle the political world s toughest jobs.
