So it\u2019s going to be messy, it\u2019s going to be incomplete and more people are going to die, but we\u2019ve got to make our best possible effort.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden has come under intense scrutiny over the entire ordeal with former White House physician Ronny Jackson, who served in the role under both Presidents Obama and Trump, demanding that Biden either get out in front of the cameras to address the nation or resign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOUTRAGEOUS!\u201d Jackson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/ex-obama-white-house-doctor-to-biden-do-your-damn-job-address-nation-now-or-resign-immediately\">said<\/a> on Biden\u2019s hiding from the American public. \u201cBiden needs to address the nation TONIGHT. If he\u2019s not mentally capable of handling this crisis, he needs to resign IMMEDIATELY. America deserves better than this \u2013 OUR VETERANS DESERVE BETTER THAN THIS! Come out of hiding at Camp David and do your damn job!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Former President Donald Trump slammed Biden on Saturday over the situation, calling it a \u201cdisgrace,\u201d and then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-trump-demands-biden-resign-in-disgrace-from-office-for-5-reasons\">demanded<\/a> he resign on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat Joe Biden has done with Afghanistan is legendary. It will go down as one of the greatest defeats in American history!\u201d Trump said. \u201cIt is time for Joe Biden to resign in disgrace for what he has allowed to happen to Afghanistan, along with the tremendous surge in COVID, the Border catastrophe, the destruction of energy independence, and our crippled economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
