Congresswoman Lauren Boebert Calls Defense Secretary Austin ‘Truly Sick’ For His Comments At Recent Press Briefing
Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado) slammed Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin for calling the Afghanistan pullout, which has been widely viewed as a botched withdrawal by the Biden administration, as ‘Heroic’ and ‘Historic.’
.@SecDef: We have just concluded the largest air evacuation of civilians in American history. It was heroic. It was historic. And I hope that all Americans will unite to thank our service members for their courage and compassion. pic.twitter.com/9Y3tbiW1pt

Boebert tweeted this shortly after Austin’s press briefing:
“If Austin thinks what just happened in Afghanistan was “heroic” and “historic” then he is truly sick. That was an absolute disaster that should never have happened how it did! You can’t rewrite history by simply lying!”
