Dem Rep. Meeks: Trump Had No Plan, Thanks to Biden’s Plan Afghanistan Withdrawal Was ‘Not Chaotic’

EXCERPT:

MEEKS: "Well, you know, President Ghani was in Washington, D.C. a week before that, where he assured members of Congress on both sides that he wasn't going to leave, that they were going to stay there and they we‘re going to do what they had to do. That changed. That changed. And so it caused — the plans of what we had changed. You know, what they all say also, where there was not a plan was when Donald Trump decided that he was going to have people — have us out by May with no plan. And when the transition took place, he was very not cooperative with the Biden Administration in trying to fulfill that. So the Biden Administration, there was a plan. Things changed on the ground. The State Department, instead of going after them and saying that they didn‘t know this or that, if you listen and look at that testimony, because I want -- there's 11 more to be released — you will see that what they did was not chaotic. The chaos was on the ground, but what their plan was, to deal with the changing situation, was not chaotic, it was heroic. They were able to get 124,000 people out on time and continue to move forward. So I think that instead of criticizing the State Department and what they did and how they did it, we should be saying thank you to the State Department and dealing with a situation that where you had anticipated chaos."
