Kabul Airport attacks:

A long list of top Republicans are calling for US President, Joe Biden to either be impeached or resign from office after the deadly attack on Harmid Karzai International Airport in Afghanistan which occured on Thursday, August 26, killing not less than 12 US Marines and 60 people in total.

 

Nikki Haley, former ambassador to the United Nations, called for Biden's resignation but said she is worried about leaving Vice President Kamala Harris in charge.


"Should Biden step down or be removed for his handling of Afghanistan? Yes," she tweeted. "But that would leave us with Kamala Harris which would be ten times worse. God help us."


Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., called for Biden to resign along with Vice President Kamala Harris and several national security officials.


"Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Antony Blinken, Lloyd Austin and General Milley should all resign or face impeachment and removal from office," she said.


Former Trump White House advisor Kellyanne Conway sarcastically tweeted: "#Impeach? Why? It's not like they called the President of Ukraine or anything."

Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, a congress member wrote "If President Trump can be impeached over a phone call, then the time has come to IMPEACH Biden for gross negligence in Afghanistan"


"Americans deserve better. We deserve better than someone who willfully IGNORES the WORST crisis in decades."


In another tweet, he added: "There will be time for investigations and assigning blame later, but we do need a new Commander-in-Chief NOW! The leadership that got us into this does not have the competence and will to get us out. People are now officially dying!!"

Reps. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., and Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., similarly issued strongly worded statements calling for accountability. 


"Joe Biden must resign or face impeachment," said Tenney. 

 

Donalds tweeted: "[Biden] has abdicated his responsibility and duties entrusted to him as POTUS, and he must RESIGN IMMEDIATELY."

 

Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-New York, said Biden was unfit to be commander in chief. 


"Joe Biden has blood on his hands. The buck stops with the President of the United States," she said.

U.S. Senate candidate Sean Parnell tweeted: "Joe Biden has lost the moral authority to lead our nation. Americans are now dead because of his incompetence. It didn’t have to be this way. He should resign as Commander in Chief."


US Congressional candidates Travis Wines of Michigan, Amanda Makki of Florida, and Lavern Spicer of Florida all called for resignation or impeachment. 

 

"Afghanistan and the southern border are a coordinated 1-2 punch in the face of American safety," tweeted Spicer. "We can’t take much more. Impeach Biden NOW before it’s too late!
