The Administration\u2019s reckless and deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan set American foreign policy back a generation. Their lack of leadership is a flashing siren to our enemies that America doesn\u2019t have the backbone to fight back against dictatorships and stand up for what is right.\n\n\u201cToday\u2019s report made clear the Administration cares more about optics than the safety of Americans and our allies. At every step of this investigation, they have stonewalled and prevented the American people from learning the full extent of the truth. This selfish behavior is disqualifying not just for the leader of the free world, but also those under him who allowed this chaotic withdrawal to occur. President Biden and Vice President Harris owe the American people, the families of the 13 Americans killed at Abbey Gate, and our Afghan allies a full and transparent explanation of this irresponsible withdrawal. Unfortunately, they will not do so because they clearly care more about protecting the President\u2019s fragile ego than doing what is right. This Administration\u2019s actions throughout this investigation are shameful and an embarrassment to our entire nation.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:43:57Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://wagner.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/wagner-calls-biden-harris-admit-afghanistan-failures-nation-take"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9204116649925709, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
