Sen. Ben Sasse accused Pres. Biden and his administration of painting a rosier picture of the Afghanistan evacuations as the Aug. 31 U.S. troop withdrawal looms.
Blinken pointed to private and public assurances from Taliban leadership to allow free travel after America's departure to anyone who wishes to leave the country. Sasse called the interview"disgusting" and said the thinking that the U.S. should trust the Taliban is"stupid" and"insane."
The senator, who serves on the Senate Intelligence Committee, has been critical of the U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan since the final months of the Trump administration. "The consequences are going to be a return of the Taliban that has been willing to provide safe haven to terrorists in the past," Sasse added."We have so many different groups who want to turn Afghanistan into the global capital city of jihad, and the administration doesn't have a plan."
"Given that the Taliban said this date was a red line, given that ISIS is now carrying out these horrendous bombings and threatening more violence, wouldn't staying have put our forces more at risk?" Raddatz asked.
