Michael Waltz (R-FL) argued that the Biden administration should give some of the aid money it\u2019s sending to Afghanistan to veterans\u2019 groups that have protected vulnerable Afghans and use the money as \u201cas leverage in talks with the Taliban\u201d but is instead allowing the Taliban to use \u201cour taxpayer dollars to consolidate their rule.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Waltz said, \u201cLet\u2019s talk about what they should be doing with that money. Why aren\u2019t they giving at least a portion of that money to these veterans\u2019 groups who have so heroically stepped up when their government failed and are still, to this day, keeping thousands of Afghans who are being targeted by the Taliban safe in safe houses with medical treatment, with transportation, moving them so that they\u2019re not hunted down, taking care of girls and women that are now barred from going to school. Why aren\u2019t they giving that money to these groups who have proven to be so effective? Why aren\u2019t they using it as leverage in talks with the Taliban to say, you know what Taliban? Let girls go back to school. Stop hunting down our allies. How about you release the American hostage that you\u2019re holding. But instead, we\u2019re getting nothing from the Taliban for that money and what I can tell you, having served on the ground is the terrorist groups always skim off the top to the tunes of millions of dollars. \u2026 I don\u2019t care how much they try to promise us that it\u2019s going to go to independent organizations. When those organizations have a gun to their head and are told, give us 30%, they\u2019re going to do it and then the Taliban decides who the winners and losers are and uses our taxpayer dollars to consolidate their rule. It\u2019s just infuriating, it\u2019s irresponsible, it\u2019s clueless, and it\u2019s heartless.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p><em>Follow Ian&nbsp;Hanchett on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IanHanchett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@IanHanchett<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Monday\u2019s broadcast of the Fox News Channel\u2019s \u201cThe Story,\u201d Rep.
