ISIS-Khorasan Province took responsibility for the attack, which made Thursday the third-deadliest day in the U.S.\u2019s 20-year long war in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a day where U.S. service members, 12 of them, lost their lives at the hands of terrorists. It\u2019s not a day for politics and we would expect that any American, whether they\u2019re elected or not, would stand with us and the commitment to going after and fighting, and killing those terrorists wherever they live and to honoring the memory of service members. That\u2019s what this day is for,\u201d Psaki said.<\/p>\n<p>Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn, Georgia Rep. Mark Green and North Carolina Rep. Mark Walker called on Biden to resign over the attack. <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/08\/26\/afghanistan-terrorist-attack-isis-khorasan-joe-biden-mitch-mcconnell-chuck-schumer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>(RELATED: Congressmen Across The Board Demand Biden Respond To \u2018Murderous\u2019 Terrorist Attack, Keep Americans Safe)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must reject the falsehood peddled by a feckless president that this was the only option for withdrawal. This is the product of Joe Biden\u2019s catastrophic failure of leadership. It is now painfully clear he has neither the will nor the capacity to lead. He must resign,\u201d Hawley <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/08\/26\/must-resign-josh-hawley-slams-joe-biden-afghanistan\/\">said<\/a> in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans in Congress have questioned Biden\u2019s mental state throughout the chaotic withdrawal.
