Hudson Releases Statement on President Biden's Failed Withdrawal from Afghanistan

August 16, 2021

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-08), Fort Bragg's Congressman, released the following statement following President Joe Biden's speech on Afghanistan:

"President Biden said the buck stops with him. Yet nowhere in his remarks did he take responsibility for completely botching the withdrawal from Afghanistan which has left American families and allies behind in extreme danger as the Taliban reportedly go door-to-door exacting brutal revenge. He also failed to lay out any plan to now protect those people and assets, even as troops from Fort Bragg are hastily deployed back into harms' way to deal with this self-inflicted chaos. The President's lack of preparation and understanding of the current fallout and furor is an abject failure."
