Biden ally and personal friend Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) harshly criticized President Joe Biden during an interview on CBS, stating flatly that he thinks the president should be impeached for his role in the Afghanistan debacle.
"If you can't admire Joe Biden as a person, then you got a problem, you need to do some self-evaluation. 'Cause what’s not to like?" said Graham back in the year 2015, according to the Daily Wire.
"I think it's dereliction of duty to leave hundreds of Americans behind enemy lines, turn them into hostages, to abandon thousands of Afghans who fought honorably along our side, to create conditions for another 9/11 that are now through the roof," commented Graham this weekend.
"Whose decision was it to pull all the troops out? Was it good advice, ignored? I just don't know," Graham continued.
"I think he should be facing a lot of consequences here, because the one thing he wanted to do, and he's a decent man, it's not about him being a decent man, is he wanted to end the war in Afghanistan and make sure we didn’t have to deal with it in the future. He's done the exact opposite," Graham fired back.
Despite the multiple calls for his impeachment, with a Democrat-controlled Congress, the chances of Biden's being impeached appears to be very slim at this moment. Graham went on: "General Biden's fingerprints are all over this. He's created the conditions for ISIS to flourish in Afghanistan. They've doubled the number of troops available because of the jailbreak."
"A terrorist organization called the Taliban is now in charge of the country. The likelihood of an attack on our homeland is through the roof. It was medium a month ago. It's got to be high as hell right now," Graham said.
Graham continued, mentioning the harrowing possibility of the US military not being able to safely evacuate everyone in a timely manner: "The parade of horribles are about to unfold. We're leaving thousands of Afghan allies behind who fought bravely with us. We're going to leave hundreds of American citizens behind."
"The chance of another 9/11 just went through the roof. These drone attacks will not degrade ISIS. The number of ISIS fighters have doubled. We've turned our back on our allies who's going to help us in our—in the future. And we set the conditions for another 9/11," Graham warned.
By recognizing the Taliban as legitimate, Graham argued, the Biden administration is "going to put Americans at risk all over the world because other terrorist organizations will say how the best way to get America’s attention and legitimacy is to kidnap some Americans or people who fought with America."
"And I worry about the consequences of how we deal with Afghanistan can affect our footprint all over the world," Graham concluded.
