There was great hesitation from the Republican members of Congress when they were deciding whether or not to approve the nomination of Antony Blinken for Secretary of State.
Now, it’s become very apparent as to why they were so hesitant. He’s utterly incompetent.
Time’s up for Blinken as the Republican members of the House of Representatives have introduced articles of impeachment against Blinken.
Representatives Andy Harris and Ralph Norman are putting much of the blame on Blinken for the loss of lives in Kabul, even though Little Joey B said that the buck stops with him.
The articles of impeachment single out the State Department for promising in April that the American Embassy in Kabul could be kept open and operational for more than 1,400 American citizens in Afghanistan after U.S. troops completed their planned withdrawal, and then failing to keep that promise.
“Secretary Blinken has failed to faithfully uphold his oath and has instead presided over a reckless abandonment of our nation’s interests, security, and values in his role in the withdrawal of American forces and diplomatic assets from Afghanistan,” the articles of impeachment state.
The lawmakers say Blinken’s dereliction of duty by failing to “safely and efficiently evacuate all of the United States government personnel, dependents, and private United States citizens when their lives are in danger directly gave rise to a dangerous scenario at the Kabul airport enabling terrorists to execute a deadly attack that killed eleven marines and a Navy medic.”
They accused Blinken of ignoring intelligence that indicated the Taliban was about to seize control of Afghanistan, of permitting by negligence U.S. military equipment and weapons to fall into the Taliban’s hands, and of leaving Americans stranded in the country to have their lives threatened by the Islamic militants.
“The Biden Administration’s handling of Afghanistan has been an unmitigated catastrophe. This preventable tragedy rests solely on the shoulders of President Biden and his Administration, and in particular the Secretary of State,” Harris said.
“Secretary Blinken’s complete and utter failure of managing this avoidable catastrophe makes him unfit for leadership, and I hope my colleagues will join me in pushing for his removal,” he added.
If you ask me though, I seriously doubt that anything will really come of this. Joe Biden could go out in the street and kill someone and the House Democrats wouldn’t impeach him for it.
