GOP Women Call Out President Biden’s Failed Leadership on Afghanistan

For the past week, Americans have watched in horror as the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan sent an entire nation into turmoil and put American lives at risk – all thanks to Joe Biden's failed and catastrophic withdrawal.

As the Representative for Fort Drum and the 10th Mountain Division – the most deployed Army division since 9/11 – Congresswoman Elise Stefanik was quick to call out President Biden’s feckless leadership and demand a plan to rescue Americans in Afghanistan safely.

BREITBART: Elise Stefanik: Biden’s Weak Response Means He is ‘Unfit to Serve As President’

“On the precipice of the 20th Anniversary of September 11, the images of Biden’s failed and catastrophic withdrawal, including helicopters evacuating Americans from our U.S. embassy and Afghans clinging to U.S. military planes and falling from the skies, will forever be seared into the American psyche and will not soon be forgotten around the world. Because of Joe Biden’s weak and feckless leadership, the U.S. is less safe today than we were before he took office. Joe Biden has destroyed our credibility with our allies around the world and emboldened our adversaries like Russia, China, and terrorist groups on the march. This is Joe Biden’s Saigon.” - Congresswoman Elise Stefanik

CNN: 'We have to build off that success': GOP hopes women lead the party back to House majority

“For House Republicans, their path back to power could rest on the backs of GOP women.

After a historic number of Republican women were elected to the House in 2020 — including in some of the most competitive races in the country — the party sees a recipe for electoral success and is now doubling down on that same strategy in the battle for the House next year.

What has emerged among party leaders, operatives and outside groups is a two-pronged approach: retain their current Republican women in critical swing seats and recruit additional strong female candidates to run in key battleground districts that they hope to flip next year.

And so far, there are signs of that strategy bearing out: A record-breaking number of Republican women have already filed to run for office, while some of the GOP's top fundraisers this year have been freshmen Republican women.”

GOP Woman of the Week: Nancy Mace (SC-01)
