John,

The foreign policy disaster unfolding in Afghanistan right now seems to have come as a surprise to President Biden, despite numerous warnings from many military experts.

His team has been caught flat-footed and has no answers to the questions so many Americans are asking today.

My colleagues and I have attempted to get answers from Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, and General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

These individuals have refused to answer the most important questions, including:

What is the Biden Administration’s plan for protecting Americans abroad including many who are still in Afghanistan?
With reports and videos of thousands of terrorists being freed from jails in Afghanistan, what is President Biden doing to keep our citizens safe and close the gaping hole in our southern border?
What is the status of the taxpayer-funded, high-tech equipment left behind for the Afghan Security Forces?

While Afghanistan collapsed to violent terrorists, the President was on vacation. He came back to the White House to give a short statement pointing the blame at everyone but himself, then immediately returned to his vacation.

This isn't leadership. It's time for President Biden to face the realities of his destructive foreign policy decisions.

Putting America first doesn’t mean putting America’s security last. The President’s botched withdrawal has put American lives and those of our allies in jeopardy.

I will continue to demand answers from President Biden on behalf of my fellow Oklahomans and all Americans.

Sincerely,
Kevin Hern
Congressman
