PRESIDENT BIDEN IS DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY'S CREDIBILITY
(Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, President Biden has barely been in office for 8 months, and he has already done irreparable damage to the United States' standing within the international community, not to mention our national security.
Rather than enacting a calculated and comprehensive plan to protect and evacuate the remaining Americans stuck in Afghanistan, he continues to point fingers and push falsehoods that have been refuted by his own administration.
President Biden is destroying this great country's credibility on the world stage with this inept planning, failed executions, and inability to calibrate in this crisis.
After listening to administration top officials, it is clear that there was never a plan to evacuate Americans safely from Afghanistan. Any explanations of efforts that are underway are insufficient.
The arbitrary deadline to leave by August 31 is ridiculous. The evacuation will be complete only when every American has exited Afghanistan.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President.
