Pelosi Praises Biden as Kabul is in Chaos, Says President Should Be ‘Commended’
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi praised Joe Biden and said that he “should be commended” as the Taliban moved into Kabul.
The Taliban had been taking over cities throughout Afghanistan over the past week and breached the capital early on Sunday.
Biden has been hammered from all over the political spectrum for the chaos.
“The President is to be commended for the clarity of purpose of his statement on Afghanistan and the actions he has taken,” Pelosi said in a statement. “The Taliban must know that the world is watching its actions. We are deeply concerned about reports regarding the Taliban’s brutal treatment of all Afghans, especially women and girls. The U.S., the international community and the Afghan government must do everything we can to protect women and girls from inhumane treatment by the Taliban.”
“Any political settlement that the Afghans pursue to avert bloodshed must include having women at the table.
