Chad Robichaux, a former Marine \u200dwho helped \u200devacuate over 17,000 individuals from Afghanistan, claims that Harris, \u200chaving \u2064been \u200cthe \u200b&#8221;last person in the room&#8221; with \u2062President Biden before\u2064 the withdrawal decision, bears significant responsibility for the resultant crisis. He states that \u2062she must acknowledge her \u2062role and take accountability, particularly for the impact on American families and Afghan allies left behind. Mark Geist, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/feds-want-nra-lawyer-kicked-off-bankruptcy-case\/\" title=\"Feds Want NRA Lawyer Kicked Off Bankruptcy Case\u00a0\">contractor involved<\/a> in rescuing\u200d Americans during the withdrawal, also emphasizes that the\u2062 blame lies with both Harris and Biden, highlighting\u200b the poor management\u200d of the evacuation efforts and the tragic loss of lives. The\u2064 criticisms underscore\u200c a broader sense of \u2062failure in leadership\u2062 during a critical moment in American foreign policy, marking\u200b the withdrawal as\u2063 a troubling chapter\u200d in U.S. history.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Afghanistan rescue operation leaders attach Harris to disastrous withdrawal: &lsquo;Blood on her hands&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1651032\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>People involved in extraditing Americans from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/afghanistan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Afghanistan\">Afghanistan<\/a> after the Biden-Harris administration&rsquo;s withdrawal connected Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/afghanistan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Afghanistan\">Kamala Harris&rsquo;s<\/a> role with the outcome.<\/p>\n<p>Chad Robichaux, author and former Force Recon Marine, led an effort to extract over 17,000 people from Afghanistan following the country&rsquo;s falling to Taliban rule, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chadrobichaux.com\/#:~:text=What%20began%20as%20a%20personal,the%20hands%20of%20the%20Taliban.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"according to\">according to<\/a> his website.

Chad Robichaux, a former Force Recon Marine and author, spearheaded efforts to rescue over 17,000 individuals from Afghanistan after it fell under Taliban control. He pointed out that Harris claimed to be &#8220;the last person in the room&#8221; with President Joe Biden before he made the withdrawal decision, asserting that she played a crucial role in what followed. Robichaux stated, \u201cKamala can\u2019t distance herself from this catastrophic withdrawal; she was vice president and had ample opportunity to voice concerns.\u201d He urged her to apologize to families affected by the loss of 13 service members and advocate for abandoned allies and vulnerable women and girls left behind. He concluded that her silence indicates complicity.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Geist, a contractor who helped rescue over 100 Americans from Afghanistan, echoed these sentiments by stating that both Biden and Harris share responsibility for what he described as a significant failure in American history. Geist criticized how private citizens had to step up when such operations should have been managed by government officials. He emphasized that thousands were abandoned during this process along with tragic losses at Abbey Gate.<\/p>\n<p>Representative Cory Mills (R-FL), also a veteran, placed blame on Harris as well for attempting to distance herself from what he called Biden\u2019s greatest failure\u2014the flawed Afghan withdrawal\u2014stating she shares equal culpability.
