‘These are real lives, and this is the national security of the United States’

WASHINGTON — On Friday, Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) joined Newsmax's Wake Up America to discuss the devastating situation in Afghanistan as a result of the Biden Administration's utter strategic failure, the betrayal of our men and women in uniform, and what actions should be taken in response.

Full clip of the interview can be found here, and some key quotes are below:

• You damn well believe, that congress needs to take action against him, against Secretary Blinken.
  
• Right now, Speaker Pelosi, she should be calling congress back to convene, we should vote on a resolution, condemning the President's actions, demanding that the President of the United States tell us exactly what his counterterrorism strike is going to be.
  
• I think congress ought to be convening today. And we should be demanding that Secretary Blinken should resign, or we should impeach him- what he has been doing is completely incompetent and he has completely failed to carry out his duties as Secretary of State. We need to have hearings to talk through what DoD told the President, and what caused the President to take these ridiculous actions that are making this country weaker, and frankly, endangering our men and women in uniform as we saw happen yesterday.
  
• These are real lives, this is the national security of the United States. I think you don't need any more evidence of what we saw last week than that Nancy Pelosi called us back into town, while we're dealing with a situation as chaotic and dangerous as what we saw unfold in Kabul yesterday. And what did we do? We voted on a $3.5 trillion boondoggle on radical leftist policies… This is a bunch of radical leftist, socialist nonsense.
