For many high-profile Democrats, political expediency is above all else-even members of the U.S. armed forces. In fact, Democratic lawmakers like Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) intend to protect President Joe Biden and his administration from scrutiny for his incompetent handling of withdrawals and withdrawals from Afghanistan.
Yesterday, Pelosi prevented House Republicans from reading the names of 13 soldiers killed in the suicide bombing at Kabul Airport. The attack was carried out by ISIS-K agents and killed approximately 169 Afghans who tried to flee the country.
Red State Nick search According to reports, Republican lawmakers stated that “The Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) prevented them from reading the names of the 13 soldiers killed in the terrorist attack on the Kabul Airport last Thursday, after the House of Representatives observed a moment of silence for the incident. .ground.”
Representative Carlos A. Gimenez of Florida criticized the spokesperson for refusing to pay tribute to the fallen soldiers on Twitter. He wrote:
How much do Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats in the House of Representatives want to cover up this disaster in Afghanistan?
They just prevent members of Congress from reading the names of soldiers who died in Afghanistan last week.
Don’t you think our army deserves better?

Rep. Brian Master (R-FL) told this Floridian Pelosi does not allow Republican lawmakers to “read names or propose bills or anything.”
A closer look will reveal why Pelosi silenced Republican congressmen.It seems she was afraid they would propose one Legislative proposal This will make more people pay attention to the president’s botched troop withdrawal efforts.Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) appeared in Fox News:
You know, in the House of Representatives yesterday, Republicans asked us to vote on a bill that would simply require the government to give us a plan to let Americans out, let our equipment out, and not recognize the Taliban. There is no partisanship at all. But Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party even refused to allow him to vote.
Crenshaw is right-there is no partisanship to ask for a plan to rescue Americans stranded in Afghanistan and not recognize the Taliban. No American wants to see other Americans trapped in a country where an extremist authoritarian group can take them hostage or murder them. However, Pelosi and her happy Democrats would rather not admit this issue because it is not politically good.
Needless to say, this is terrible for Democrats. Even rejecting the idea that the Biden administration should be responsible for the lost soldiers and Americans stranded in Afghanistan should not only be condemned, but it is also not a reasonable political strategy. By trying to protect Biden, she will only make the situation for the president and Congressional Democrats worse.
The Democrats want the United States to forget the fiasco in Afghanistan. By not allowing fallen Marines to earn honor, they tried to reduce the emotional response that would surely arouse in the public. To criticize the legislative attempts by Americans who are still trapped in hostile countries to push the government to act is an attempt to divert attention away from many of Biden’s people. Mistake When it comes to withdrawal from Afghanistan.
But Pelosi is a shrewd politician; in general, she knows what she is doing. Since the situation in Afghanistan deteriorated, she has been defending Biden’s incompetence. She must know that this strategy will not work, but at this point, despair seems to force her to try any strategy she can think of to lessen the damage that this fiasco has caused to the Democratic Party.
Nonetheless, these conspiracies do not seem to work.When 2022 arrives, Afghanistan will be one of a series of problems that will cause almost inevitable Shelling The Democrats will take. In addition, Pelosi is just postponing the inevitable-if Republicans take back the House of Representatives, they will almost certainly launch an investigation into the handling of evacuation and withdrawal. Most importantly, no matter what the Democratic Party does, this problem will not disappear anytime soon.
