Should Biden step down or be removed for his handling of Afghanistan? Yes. But that would leave us with Kamala Harris which would be ten times worse. God help us. #ItDidntHaveToBeThisWay #GodBlessOurTroops #AfghanistanDisaster

Speaker Nancy Pelosi's statement
Moreover, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, issued a statement strongly condemning the terrorist incident outside Kabul airport.

"With the assistance of the US military and allied forces, more than 100,000 people have been evacuated from Afghanistan since the end of July," she said.
Pelosi also stated that Congress is profoundly worried about the security and humanitarian situation in Afghanistan, adding that while working with Biden's administration to stabilize the situation, Congress must always remain informed. As a result, she requested the Executive Branch to continue to brief its members.
According to CNN, President Joe Biden is preparing for the repercussions, after the horrific threats of a terrorist attack on Afghanistan's capital, Kabul, were materialized.
An explosion was confirmed near Kabul Airport in the Afghan capital by a Pentagon spokesperson. Initial reports indicated that the blast was caused by a suicide bombing, according to Reuters, citing a US official, before a second explosion was reported.
