Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), in a series of tweets on Sunday, expressed his disagreement with former President Donald Trump’s statement applauding President Joe Biden’s plan to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan after almost 20 years of deployment there. Trump called Biden’s decision “wonderful” and “positive” but urged his successor to bring troops home earlier than the announced date of September 11, 2021. “Getting out of Afghanistan is a wonderful and positive thing to do,” Trump said in the statement. “I planned to withdraw on May 1st, and we should keep as close to that schedule as possible.” “I could not disagree more with former President Trump regarding his support for President Biden’s withdrawal of all forces from Afghanistan against sound military advice,” Graham tweeted . “With all due respect to former President Trump, there is nothing ‘wonderful’ or ‘positive’ about allowing safe havens and sanctuary for terrorists to reemerge in Afghanistan or see Afghanistan … [Read more...] about Lindsey Graham Slams Former President Donald Trump for Stance on Removing U.S. Troops from Afghanistan

‘Real Housewives of the GOP’ — Wannabe reality show narcissists commandeer the party
Donald Trump Donald Trump Graham: 'I could not disagree more' with Trump support of Afghanistan troop withdrawal GOP believes Democrats handing them winning 2022 campaign Former GOP operative installed as NSA top lawyer resigns MORE has proven to be a loser — and a sore one at that — but he has won something.
