Jim Banks (R-IN) on Tuesday night said the mishandling of the U.S. withdrawal and utter collapse of Afghanistan to the Taliban has made it clear that President Joe Biden is \u201cnot up for the job\u201d as commander-in-chief.<\/p>\n<p>The disaster in Afghanistan, particularly the Biden administration\u2019s bungling of a speedy evacuation of Americans,&nbsp;\u201cwill go down in history as a black mark on our country and certainly will prove that this president is not up for the job,\u201d Banks said during an appearance on Fox News\u2019 \u201cThe Ingraham Angle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the greatest abdication of leadership that we\u2019ve seen, certainly in my lifetime, by an American president and his team at the Pentagon when it comes to our national security interests. And the least that we can do is hold congressional hearings to get to the bottom of why,\u201d Banks said, noting that he\u2019s not \u201cholding his breath\u201d for such hearings since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) \u201csupports\u201d Biden\u2019s efforts in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>The Republican described the Taliban takeover of our U.S. embassy in Afghanistan as \u201chumiliating.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s humiliating to me that the Taliban now controls one of the most expensive U.S. embassies that we\u2019ve build around the world,\u201d Banks said. \u201cIt should be humiliating to every American. It\u2019s humiliating to the projection of America\u2019s strength and posture around the world and it\u2019s all happened on Joe Biden\u2019s watch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Banks was also dismayed that leading Biden National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan could \u201cstill have a job.\u201d Notably, Mr. Sullivan could not give the total number of Americans still in Afghanistan and would not \u201ccomment on hypotheticals\u201d about their evacuation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"speakable\">\u201cIf the mission is not complete by Aug. 31 and there are American and Afghan allies who remain there, will U.S. troops stay until everyone is out? Or will they leave?\u201d CBS News reporter Weijia Jiang asked Sullivan this week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, I\u2019m not going to comment on hypotheticals,\u201d the advisor responded. \u201cI\u2019m going to stay focused on the task at hand, which is getting as many people out as rapidly as possible, and we will take that day-by-day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo you can\u2019t commit to bringing back every American?\u201d Jiang alarmingly responded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOthers tried to pin this down, but Sullivan would not commit to having U.S. troops in Afghanistan past 08\/31, even if some Americans and Afghan allies are still trying to leave,\u201d the reporter tweeted after the briefing.<\/p>\n<p>Banks is not the only one saying Biden is not up for the job. Former President Donald Trump this week demanded Biden \u201cresign in disgrace\u201d over the debacle.<\/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\u2019s statement 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>Additionally, Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) floated the idea of removing Biden from office by invoking the 25th Amendment. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/gop-senator-floats-using-25th-amendment-stripping-biden-of-power?utm_source=facebook&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=benshapiro&amp;fbclid=IwAR3Rt_vLy7f_cikxrsilQPBMe9fbpQS4AInNWsTJa-5vAncTe9Nx-YGKjxQ\">The Daily Wire<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"15\">\n<p><em>\u201cInflation is raging.
