U.S. Congressman Dan Crenshaw knows a little bit about Afghanistan. In fact, the former Navy SEAL left part of himself in the country back in 2012. While serving his third combat deployment, Crenshaw was hit with an IED, an injury that caused him to lose an eye, leading to his signature eye patch that he wears today.
Now, Crenshaw is issuing a dire warning to Americans and Joe Biden. The Taliban, Al Qaeda and ISIS are plotting to attack Americans.
“I encourage the American people to accept the reality of the situation,” Crenshaw said. “We have to acknowledge that there are people out there who want to kill us. They wake up every single day and if they have space or time whatsoever, they’re planning an attack on the homeland. That’s the way it is. I wish it were different.”
“Every President since Bush has had to deal with this difficult decision,” the combat veteran said. “But Biden is the only one who followed through with the stupidest possible option. There are still ways to reverse course, uphold our dignity and save people on the ground.”
Crenshaw said America needs to tell the Taliban, it’s not leaving until everyone is evacuated. He later posted on Twitter, “Go on offense, save our people, tell the Taliban to F*** Off…in that order.”
