Our world is not safe with Biden and Harris in office

Congressman Jerry Carl

During their three and a half years in the White House, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have consistently made the world a less safe place. Their time in office has only produced chaos on the global stage, and the safety and security of our southern border is utterly nonexistent. They have absolutely failed as leaders – both abroad and at home. Because of their weakness, disasters have erupted in Afghanistan, Ukraine, Israel, and our border. We have watched our world become disordered because of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ actions, and thanks to them our children and grandchildren will have to grow up in a society filled with uncertainty and instability.
Three years ago, this Administration disastrously withdrew troops from Afghanistan, leaving Americans and allies vulnerable to Taliban extremists. The withdrawal led to the deadliest attack on Americans since 2011. Thirteen United States servicemembers died from a terrorist attack at the Kabul Airport. Kamala Harris advised Joe Biden to recklessly and unjustifiably remove troops from Kabul, resulting in Americans abandoned in Taliban-controlled territory. This Administration has failed to take accountability for its actions and recognize those in Kabul who lost their lives for our nation.
Following the Afghanistan withdrawal, President Vladimir Putin was given the green light by the Biden-Harris Administration to invade Ukraine and spur war in Eastern Europe. This same leadership from Biden and Harris has poured billions of taxpayer dollars into the Ukraine-Russia war, while our nation is being flooded by illegal aliens. Biden and Harris’ weak leadership on the global stage has only fueled Putin’s aggression and heightened American division.
And most recently, Hamas heinously attacked Israel on October 7, 2023. Over 1,000 people died that day from a targeted terrorist attack, including 32 Americans. To this day, Hamas continues to threaten and violently call for the elimination of all Jewish people. Antisemitism spread rampantly across the ocean and infiltrated our college campuses – instilling fear in Jewish students. For far too long, Hamas sympathizers and supporters were tolerated by not only university administrators but the White House. Biden and Harris’ inaction on the rapid antisemitism in the United States combined with previous threats of withholding arms to Israel has only made us weaker in the eyes of terrorists.
Four more years of Kamala will only mean four more years of chaos. The American people deserve better than this Administration. The thirteen soldiers and their families deserve better than recklessness and poor leadership. This Administration will have a notorious legacy of weakness, and it is time to show strength and stability both at home and abroad.
