He promised he would leave no one behind, but this week he ignored the most basic element of the Soldier\u2019s Creed and did exactly that. Hundreds of Americans were abandoned and left trapped behind Taliban lines.\n\n\u201cI traveled to D.C. with my Republican veteran colleagues to demand both a plan to get our people out and also accountability for all that has gone wrong with this withdrawal. The Democrats shamelessly rejected this legislative effort.\n\n\u201cPresident Biden and his Administration have failed in their responsibilities to protect Americans, but I will not stop fighting until every American who wishes to come home is brought back and those who failed us are held accountable.\u201d\n\nWATCH:\n\nRep.
