House Foreign Affairs Committee Report Highlights Vice President Harris

Vice President Kamala Harris makes a statement on abortion access at the White House, Wednesday, Nov. 8, 2023, in Washington.

The recent report released by the House Foreign Affairs Committee has sparked controversy over Vice President Kamala Harris's involvement in the Afghanistan crisis. The report, which mentioned Harris more than 280 times, has led to accusations of political bias.

Republican Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, defended the report, stating that it simply reflects Harris's own admissions. He highlighted Harris's previous statements where she claimed to be the last person in the room with President Joe Biden before critical decisions were made. Johnson argued that Harris's close ties to these decisions make her a co-sponsor and co-owner of the outcomes.

The investigation detailed in the report aims to present the facts to the American people, allowing them to draw their conclusions. Johnson emphasized the gravity of the situation, pointing out that over 20 million Afghan women are now at risk of human rights abuses under Taliban rule. He lamented the erasure of two decades of progress in Afghanistan, achieved through the sacrifices of thousands of American troops.

Johnson labeled the Afghanistan crisis as one of the worst foreign policy disasters in American history. He criticized the decision-making that led to the chaotic withdrawal of U.S. forces, resulting in the loss of nearly 2,500 servicemen and women. The Speaker underscored the catastrophic impact of the events in Afghanistan and stressed the need for accountability.

As the debate over the report continues, the focus remains on Vice President Kamala Harris's role in the Afghanistan crisis and the broader implications of the U.S. withdrawal. The House Foreign Affairs Committee's findings have reignited discussions on America's foreign policy decisions and their consequences.
