When it Comes to Afghanistan Commentary, the GOP Has a Lot of Nerve.
They’re the last people we should be hearing from right now.
What’s happening in Afghanistan is devastating. The images of countless desperate people attempting to flee after the Afghan government fell are difficult to process, and serve as a sobering reminder of the consequences of the policies of the U.S. empire, and a war that has spanned decades. But as we all struggle to process these recent events and everything that has led up to them over the course of the past twenty years and beyond, it’s been, shall we say interesting to see the right wing’s commentary on the matter, and GOP lawmakers in particular.
Among them has been my very own congresswoman Elise Stefanik, whose staff wasted no time in sharing her thoughts on the matter, writing on Twitter:
“The world is less safe because of Joe Biden’s leadership.”
Her tweet was in response to one from the House Republicans account, in which they had shared an image of the front page of The New York Post, with the headline: ‘BIDEN’S SAIGON: Prez scrambles to evacuate Afghanistan. We abandon women to Taliban savagery.’
This commentary really is rich, isn’t it, coming from the GOP?
