Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) blasted the president\u2019s \u201cweak\u201d stance on foreign issues as well as the media\u2019s refusal to cover the event, claiming it seeks to \u201chide\u201d the Democrats\u2019 \u201cdangerous, anti-American agenda.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Reschenthaler, who served in the Navy Judge Advocate General Corps and volunteered for duty in Iraq, began by slamming the recent signaling of American weakness to both the country and the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p><span>\u201cJoe Biden\u2019s failure in Afghanistan sent shockwaves at home and abroad,\u201d he said. \u201cIt signaled that the Biden Administration would not stand up to our enemies.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>He then lamented the \u201cfurther tragedies\u201d that resulted from that weakness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cSadly, it\u2019s no surprise his weakness resulted in further tragedies for our allies abroad with the detainment of foreign staffers of our Embassy in Yemen,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p><span>\u201cIt\u2019s clear, Americans and our allies are less safe with Joe Biden at the helm,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The congressman concluded by criticizing the media blackout of the story, which he blamed on the desire to conceal the Democrats\u2019 \u201cdangerous, anti-American agenda\u201d from the public.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe mainstream media\u2019s refusal to cover this tragic and important story is just the latest example of their efforts to hide Joe Biden and [the] Democrats\u2019 dangerous, anti-American agenda,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>According to the State Department, Iran-backed Houthi rebels <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/2021\/11\/11\/us-embassy-yemen-houthi-rebels\/\"><span>stormed<\/span><\/a><span> the U.S. embassy compound in Sana\u2019a, Yemen, late last week, seizing hostages and large quantities of equipment, only days after the same group kidnapped Yemeni nationals working for the U.S. embassy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>While some early reports suggested a crisis similar to the 1979 embassy seizure in Tehran or the 2012 Benghazi consulate assault, the compound hasn\u2019t been active since Iran-backed insurgents overthrew the country\u2019s legitimate government six years ago and the American ambassador and most staffers were relocated.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p><span>However, the compound remains U.S. government property and its workers are U.S.-employed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Washington is engaging in \u201cunceasing\u201d diplomatic efforts to free the security guards still in custody as it calls on Houthi forces to \u201cimmediately vacate\u201d the compound and \u201creturn all seized property,\u201d <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/2021\/11\/11\/us-embassy-yemen-houthi-rebels\/\"><span>according<\/span><\/a><span> to a State Department spokesperson.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure

president took office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Since then, <\/span><span>the Biden administration has <\/span><a

\u201chorrified\u201d with the insurgents after the slaughtering of civilians and children during a particular offensive of theirs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Biden State Department appears reluctant to make a statement about the hostages unless directly asked by a media organization.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B4\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p><span>As of Saturday, no official
