The removal of American troops of Afghanistan did not go as planned. In fact, the Biden administration’s expediting of that timeline has been largely considered an absolute catastrophe, especially now that reports are emerging that hundreds of Americans were abandoned in the Taliban-led country as US military personnel evacuated.
The scene is a sad and loathsome one, and it brings with it a very real sense of betrayal by the Biden White House.
That’s why a number of lawmakers are now suggesting that several key members of the Biden administration be impeached.
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) delivered a blistering speech Tuesday in which she called for the impeachment of President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken over the disastrous U.S. exit from Afghanistan.
Boebert spoke alongside fellow members of the House Freedom Caucus at a press conference aimed at demanding House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) call Congress back from recess to vote on impeachment and resignation resolutions.
“It is time for action,” Boebert said. “Impeach Biden, impeach Kamala Harris, and throw in the secretary of state if you can get him back from vacation,” she added in reference to the Washington Post timeline that revealed Blinken was away at the Hamptons the Friday before Afghanistan’s government collapsed.
The news comes just days after articles of impeachment against Blinken were introduced in Congress, and in the same week that firebrand GOP Senator Lindsey Graham similarly called for Joe Biden to be considered for such punishment.
