Republicans hit Biden over Afghanistan, with eye on midterms

Republicans in Congress want President Biden out of office after 13 U.S. service members and at least 170 others were killed in a terrorist attack during the Afghanistan evacuation.

They’re calling for his resignation, impeachment and even for the 25th Amendment to be invoked to end his presidency.

Some of the GOP lawmakers pushing for Biden’s ouster are familiar Trump loyalists like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who called for impeachment; Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.), who urged Biden’s Cabinet to remove him from office via the 25th Amendment; and Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), who demanded Biden resign.

But other Republicans are also calling for action.

Democrat-turned-Republican Rep. Jeff Van Drew (N.J.) introduced a resolution with a dozen colleagues on Friday to censure Biden.

Rep. Tom Rice (S.C.), one of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump after Jan. 6, called on Biden to “resign and turn the job over to someone who can handle it.” So did Rep. Jackie Walorski (Ind.), the top Republican on the Ethics Committee, who could run for a leadership post next year.

“As the president has said repeatedly, the buck stops with him – and I agree. The buck must stop here. President Biden has demonstrated that he is unfit to serve as commander-in-chief, and, therefore, must resign,” Walorski said in a statement.

Biden has blood on his hands.
