Waltz (R-FL-6) 08/15/2022: Twitter thread – “To date, not one high level Biden Administration official has resigned due to the shameful withdrawal from Afghanistan and surrender to terrorists.  Accountability is coming. Accountability is coming for the 13 Gold Star families who should have never lost their loved ones to a terrorist attack. Accountability is coming for the thousands of American and allies left behind terrorist lines. Accountability is coming for billions of dollars in U.S military equipment left for terrorists to use against us and our allies. Accountability is coming for the hundreds of terrorists freed from prison - one of whom carried out the terrorist attack that killed 13 U.S. servicemen and many others. Accountability is coming for the volunteer veterans groups who left their jobs and exhausted their savings to do what their government should have done to evacuate Americans & allies. Afghanistan was not an 'extraordinary success' as Biden put it.  Rather, it put a stain on our country that has devastated American credibility. Just watch Putin and Xi's propaganda machines as they point to our abandonment of Afghanistan. The Biden Admin demonstrated it was willing to abandon our allies who spent two decades risking their lives and families to stand with us to fight extremism. Who will help us in our next conflict? China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and other adversaries gleefully watched. What kind of message did it send to Ukraine, Taiwan, and other partners? When the GOP takes back the House, rest assured - there will be investigations. There WILL be accountability.”

Stefanik (R-NY-21) 08/15/2022: Twitter thread – “One year ago today the U.S. Embassy in Kabul was evacuated and Afghanistan fell to the Taliban. Joe Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan led to chaos and 13 service members dead. Today the White House will try and rewrite history. But Americans will never forget. Joe Biden's Administration has not been held accountable for one of the largest national security crises in a generation that cost the lives of 13 American service members. A House Republican majority will hold Biden accountable.”

Steube (R-FL-17) 08/15/2022: Twitter thread – “Today we mark the one year anniversary of the Fall of Kabul, when the Taliban gained control of Afghanistan and undid decades of U.S. efforts in the region. America is just as angered and frustrated at Joe Biden's disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal today as we were the day it occurred. Over the last year, Biden and his incompetent administration have tried every way possible to escape accountability. We've seen the State Department obstruct the independent, congressionally mandated oversight of the withdrawal. Secretary Blinken can't seem to get a number straight on how many Americans are still stranded without U.S. assistance. To further our frustrations, we recently learned Al-Qaeda has reemerged in Afghanistan. We won't stop working until every question is answered, every American is safe at home, every piece of U.S. equipment is recovered or destroyed, and the Biden Administration is held fully accountable for their dereliction of duty.

Tuberville (R-AL) 08/15/2022: Tweet – “One year ago today, Americans witnessed firsthand why leadership matters.   The Afghanistan debacle didn't have to happen, and sadly the people we left behind are suffering the consequences of this admin's actions.”

Turner (R-OH-10) 08/15/2022: Twitter thread – “After 20 years of war, Americans – especially our service members – deserved to have a sound plan to draw down our military presence in Afghanistan. Unfortunately, the Biden admin's inept withdrawal a year ago was disgraceful, disastrous, and deadly.

Van Duyne (R-TX-24) 08/15/2022: Twitter thread – “One year ago today, the newly empowered Taliban took control of Kabul as Biden hastily pulled American military forces out of Afghanistan - making sure there would be no orderly, or safe withdrawal. As this utter collapse became clear for all the world to see, Biden glibly noted, "This did unfold more quickly than we had anticipated." The staggering incompetence Biden displayed would lead to the tragic deaths of 13 heroic U.S. military personnel and untold numbers of Afghans.”

Waltz (R-FL-6) 08/15/2022: Tweet – “Today marks one year since the fall of Kabul to the Taliban and Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Wicker (R-MS) 08/14/2022: Tweet – “One year after Biden's botched Afghanistan withdrawal, the world is still feeling the effects of the President's failure.”

Williams (R-TX-25) 08/15/2022: Tweet – “Today marks one year since President Biden disastrously withdrew from Afghanistan & abandoned thousands of American & Afghan allies.

Young (R-IN) 08/15/2022: Twitter thread – “One year ago today, the Taliban retook control of Afghanistan. The Biden Administration's calamitous decision to unilaterally end the war left American citizens behind and Afghans desperately clinging to the sides of aircraft departing Kabul. Over the past 12 months, the Taliban has shown the world why those Afghans were so desperate to leave. Thousands of SIV immigrants remain in limbo and tens of thousands of women and girls are being denied access to basic human rights and educational opportunities. And just last month, the American people learned that Ayman al-Zawahiri – Osama Bin Laden's right hand man and a planner of the 9-11 attacks – was living in downtown Kabul in a home owned by a leader in the Taliban Government. The safe harboring of known terrorists, a direct violation of the Doha Agreement, and the consequences of our hazardous withdrawal still have not cost a single person in the Biden Administration a job or demotion. On August 26, we will mark the solemn anniversary of the bombing in Kabul that killed 13 American service members, including Indiana's own Corporal Humberto “Bert” Sanchez. These heroes were working in the chaos around the airport to rescue innocent Afghans. It is long past time for the Biden Administration to face accountability for the numerous mistakes that occurred last year. I look forward to the bipartisan Commission that I authored together with @SenDuckworth to get underway soon. We must learn from the mistakes that occurred.”
