Joe Biden has been ruthlessly condemned, as he should be, for his mishandling of the U.S. troop withdrawal in Afghanistan, which has led to devastating consequences.
A suicide attack has now killed 13 U.S. service members and over 60 Afghanistan citizens.
Hours after the attacks, President Joe Biden is “nowhere to be found,” Daily Wire notes.
Biden has spent significant time on “vacation” by visiting unnamed individuals in Delaware as well as spending considerable time at the presidential retreat at Camp David.
Biden has also repeatedly refused to take important questions from the press on Afghanistan.
Here’s a look at reactions that call for his resignation or impeachment:
Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Antony Blinken, Lloyd Austin and General Milley should all resign or face impeachment and removal from office.

Until today, the last US soldiers to die in combat in Afghanistan were on February 8, 2020.

President Biden has to give a speech in response to today’s tragic events, has to answer direct questions.
Baseline expectation of any US President.

Hillary Clinton once wondered who Americans would want picking up the phone in a national crisis at 3 AM. With Joe Biden, nobody is picking up at 3 PM.

Don’t let the Biden administration get away with this. Don’t let the media turn the page.

The United States today suffered the biggest military loss of life in over a decade. President Biden's disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal is costing American lives, and emboldening America's enemies. There is no plan, no strategy, and no leadership from the White House.

We haven’t heard anything from President Biden.
The White House continues to postpone briefings.@SpeakerPelosi has tweeted about Biden’s “Build Back Better” plan, but not a word about the growing loss of American lives in Afghanistan.
Is there any leadership in this country?

I don't want to hear anything from Joe Biden besides "I resign." Every time he opens his mouth he lies about the situation on the ground and makes it worse.

I can’t imagine hearing that knock on your door, knowing you’re about to be informed that your son was just killed in Afghanistan, the worst moment a mother or father could ever fathom… knowing Joe Biden could’ve avoided this. I could cry thinking about it.
