McCaul Blasts Biden Foreign Policy Blunders After State Dept Speech

WASHINGTON – U.S. Congressman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) — chairman emeritus of the House Foreign Affairs Committee — released the below statement following President Biden’s foreign policy address at the State Department.

“Today, President Biden made a last-ditch effort to whitewash his disastrous foreign policy record and rewrite his legacy. He brazenly claimed the U.S. is stronger and our adversaries weaker than when he gained office. But Americans will not forget it was his administration’s weakness that led to hot wars on two continents and a hot zone in the Indo-Pacific.

“And perhaps most troubling, he once again touted his botched Afghanistan withdrawal as a victory — claiming it did not damage our alliances nor create a haven for terrorism. Those are bold-faced lies. The withdrawal telegraphed U.S. weakness around the world and resulted in the release of thousands of ISIS terrorists from the prisons at Bagram. 

“Joe Biden’s presidency will forever be marred by foreign policy blunders that lit the world on fire. To pretend otherwise is an insult to the American people.”
