Rep. Meeks: Sole Focus of Afghanistan Withdrawal Hearing Is to ‘Discredit’ Joe Biden

EXCERPT:

MEEKS: “The general also said that Doha agreement was the foundation of everything that followed, including the end, which says that you can‘t just make a judgment and give the transparency and give the Gold Star families what they need without looking at the entire picture. And I hope, because I want them to have the answers to, but the only way that we can do that is in a bipartisan way, not in an overtly political way. The sole focus of this hearing was just trying to discredit Joe Biden, without looking at the Doha agreement and Donald Trump or any other president: We want, I want — I won‘t stop until we figure out what went wrong, what went right. And we did a lot right because the generals also said the mission was successful, talked about the historic getting 124,000 individuals out in a shortest period of time. So, we‘ve got to work together, not play politics, not -- you know, a lot of the questions that they were asking, the Republicans were asking, I think was all based upon, oh, Biden this, Biden that. Whereas when you look at the Democratic questions that they were asking, it was trying to get to the meat of the matter of how we can best be transparent with the American people, find out what was right, find out what was wrong, and put the politics behind us."
