Blinken Admits US's Lack of Preparedness for Hasty Afghanistan Withdrawal
Graham accused the Biden administration of "political whitewash" and of downplaying the risky consequences of the Afghanistan withdrawal.
"When the Biden administration tells you there are no terrorists in Afghanistan, they are lying," Graham said.
Earlier this month, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the rapid fall of Kabul in 2021 took the United States by surprise and showed deficiencies in the US State Department's preparedness for the worst-case scenario in Afghanistan.
