The Biden administration faces bipartisan backlash over the chaos involved in the exit from Afghanistan. “I’m not going to mince my words on this,” said Rep. Jason Crow, D-CO, an Afghanistan veteran. “We didn’t need to be in this position. We didn’t need to be seeing the scenes that we’re seeing at Kabul airport with our Afghan friends climbing aboard C-17s.” Rep. Michael McCaul, the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said: “I don’t know, for the life of me, why they waited until the very last week or days to do this when we were calling upon them for months to get them out of that country.”
