John,

President Biden’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan is among the worst-executed foreign policy decisions in modern American history.

While the President, Vice President, and White House Press Secretary have been avoiding the American people in the midst of this crisis, Congressman Gallagher has been stepping up to provide much-needed leadership.

In case you missed them, I wanted to share a few of Mike’s statements on the situation and draw your attention to the recent interviews he’s given.

Bottom Line: “We have bungled this withdrawal. It's been a catastrophe. There's no going back, we've had the Saigon moment. Now we need to do everything possible to save as many lives as possible. You know, having had the Saigon moment, we need the Dunkirk moment, we need to get everybody out. We need to work with regional allies to provide asylum, at least on a temporary basis, if we can't do this all ourselves.”

Bottom Line: “The fact that the President is going on TV and really throwing our Afghan allies under the bus, spitting on the graves of the over 50,000 Afghans who sacrificed their lives fighting with us is a disgrace. It’s unacceptable. And for the administration to equivocate in any way on the fact that we will do everything possible to get our people out is also unacceptable. This is America. We do not leave our people behind. We have to get our people out as well as our Afghan allies.”

Bottom Line: “Our Pentagon shouldn’t be broadcasting an arbitrary date for withdrawal. Our message should be we’re going to do what we need to do to get our people out of there and however long it takes and however hard it is, we’re not going to leave anybody behind. And if the Taliban messes with us, we will meet that with devastating consequences. But instead, the Biden administration keeps bungling this withdrawal. I mean, this is an epic foreign policy catastrophe. The President’s speech yesterday was a disgrace.

Bottom Line: “This is not what leadership looks like, this is what a complete dereliction of duty looks like. This is what weakness looks like. And the fact is, Biden's inability to own up to what is clearly a massive intelligence failure, a failure of planning, and his attempt to cast blame on anyone but himself just adds to the ongoing disgrace.”

As our team continues to monitor this rapidly evolving situation, we will keep you updated on how Mike is stepping up to lead and what’s happening in Afghanistan, Washington, and around the globe.

But first, we want to know where you stand on this issue. Your feedback is crucial to Mike at all times, but especially in times of crisis like this.
