Secretary of State Antony Blinken testified yesterday before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on the catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan. Blinken is a complete and utter tool. He is of course the guy who solicited the corrupt statement signed by the Dirty 51 impugning the authenticity of the evidence found on Hunter Biden’s laptop. That may have been a stroke of evil genius, but Blinken sounds like the man who taught Joe Biden everything he “knows” about world affairs and grand strategy over the course of Biden’s life in public office over the past 50 years. Yet Blinken is only 62. It’s possible, but unlikely. Perhaps it was John Kerry.
C-SPAN has posted the gruesome five-hour hearing in its entirety here. Blinken testified only after the committee voted to recommend that he be held in contempt of Congress for his refusal to appear in its investigation into the withdrawal. In September Chairman McCaul released the committee’s lengthy majority report on the withdrawal: Willful Blindness: An Assessment of the Administration’s Withdrawal from Afghanistan and the Chaos that Followed.
The Biden/Democrat response can be summarized briefly: it was Trump’s fault. Below is a five-minute clip of New York Rep. Mike Lawler with a This Is Your Life response.
Antony Blinken’s legacy as Secretary of State is one of dysfunction, weakness, and death. He has made the world a more dangerous place, and at today’s Foreign Affairs Committee hearing, I urged him to reflect on those failures. pic.twitter.com/tMiC56HwBg
