‘Catastrophic’ and ‘Shameful’: Parliament Decides to Hold Biden in Contempt Over Afghanistan

Understandably, it appears the UK has a major problem with Joe Biden.

As President Donald Trump pointed out, Biden’s botched withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan as “the greatest embarrassment in the history of our country.”

“What Joe Biden has done with Afghanistan is legendary,” Trump said. “It will go down as one of the greatest defeats in American history!”

“It is time for Joe Biden to resign in disgrace for what he has allowed to happen to Afghanistan,” Trump added, “along with the tremendous surge in COVID, the Border catastrophe, the destruction of energy independence, and our crippled economy.”

American citizens are not the only people dealing with the devastating consequences of Biden’s incompetent and disastrous decision-making. Currently, between 10,000 and 15,000 American citizens are trapped within the borders of a country now controlled by terrorists — the Taliban.

The Taliban has reportedly set up checkpoints and they are beating people who are attempting to reach the airport in order to evacuate.

Other reports say the Taliban is going door-to-door with a “hit list” of Christians to kill. The Taliban is allegedly looking through cell phones and threatening to kill anyone who has the Bible app downloaded.

The U.K. also “faces a desperate race to evacuate 6,000 Britons and eligible Afghans amid scenes of stampeding crowds and Islamist fanatics,” the Daily Mail reports.

The British Houses of Parliament decided to hold Biden’s handling of the situation in contempt.

Lawmakers condemning his withdrawal plan as “catastrophic” and “shameful,” according to The Telegraph.

What is Biden doing during this time of crisis?

He’s spending significant time on vacation. As Daily Wire notes, “Biden has avoided answering questions from reporters during two brief sets of remarks that he gave to the media this week and he has spent a significant portion of time during this crisis on vacation in Delaware, where his administration refuses to disclose who he meets with.”

Biden is spending his time on vacation and refusing to take questions from the press while thousands of Americans are reportedly trapped in Afghanistan as the region falls under control of the Taliban.

More from Western Journal:

Members of parliament from across the political spectrum were forceful in their rebuke of Biden.

“The American decision to withdraw was not just a mistake — it was an avoidable mistake, from President Trump’s flawed deal with the Taliban to President Biden’s decision to proceed, and to proceed in such a disastrous way,” Liberal Democrat Leader Sir Ed Davey said.

Other liberal members of parliament, including Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer and Labour MPs Chris Bryant and Khalid Mahmood, denounced the president as well.

“The Biden government have just come in and, without looking at what is happening on the ground, have taken a unilateral decision, throwing us and everybody else to the fire,” Mahmood said.

Many of these MPs took specific offense to Biden’s criticism of Afghan soldiers and the Afghan army.

The Tory chairman of the foreign affairs committee, Tom Tugendhat, spent some time fighting alongside those soldiers, so he didn’t mince any words when addressing the president’s “shameful” comments.

“To see their commander in chief call into question the courage of men I fought with, to claim that they ran, is shameful,” he said, with The Telegraph noting that several MPs murmured in approval.

I don’t even watch Tucker but you’re right

We watch the End of the five one more thing. It’s getting bad. Greg is ok with the stupid pet tricks. Jesse so tone deaf. Yesterday guffawing are a train wreck. Laughing out loud. A family member of mine died like that and he sees laughing. What a buffoon.

Last week Jesse made a point on the last five of correcting himself stating he was wrong, which is rare anyway, that 70% of the American people are covid vaccinated.

No. It is 50%. 50% realize that there is something way off

The moment Martha mccwhatzername said Arizona goes to Trump I reset my DVRs

I kept the five up as the fam ffw s through for the final I kept Gutfeld But discontinued that last week as he opened with a naked picture of Bidens crack addicted family member who left laptops all over the world prob crying out for help

Gutfeld is now off

Today the good jeopardy host was canceled for being not trump hating enough I imagine so no more jep

They’re not the only ones. Why hasn’t the Demented one been charged with High Treason, and then impeached? What more will it take?

Note to Biden: having all those folks in masks behind you makes it look like you are making a hostage or beheading video ...

And fix your make-up. You are making people believe that our leaders really are leathery-skinned reptilians ...

Hannity and his 99% of the FBI are good guys?
He’s an idiot and he has Flimsey Grahamnesty, the worst of the Bush League Republicans, on almost daily.

If it’s not Grahamnesty it’s Micro Rubio or Karl Rove or some other amnesty advocate Assistant Democrat.

Austin is the only good guy Joe has on his staff,,,,,

I wouldn’t be influenced by his past record. Today, he seems little more than an errand boy carrying out the will of the left. He talks about ridding “extremists” from the military, no CRT training going on, etc.

There were some interesting exchanges between him an Matt Gaetz on U Tube recently.
