Rep. Waltz Urges Newsmax: House Demands Accountability for Afghan Withdrawal
Rep. Michael Waltz, a Republican from Florida, stated that the GOP-led House will continue to hold the Biden administration accountable for their handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal and the suicide bombing that killed 13 U.S. service members at Kabul’s airport. Waltz explained that a U.S. sniper had the suicide bomber in his sights but was denied permission to shoot, resulting in the devastating attack. He also revealed that diplomats in Kabul had warned Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the president about the impending chaos, but were ignored. Waltz expressed his frustration that nobody has been held accountable for the retaliatory drone strike that killed innocent people following the airport bombing. He criticized President Biden for wanting to move on and not addressing the situation in Afghanistan, stating that terrorism continues to pose a threat.
