Carlos Gimenez (R-Fla.), Homeland Security Committee member, said a terrorist attack on U.S. soil was not a matter of if, but when. In a recent interview, the Florida Republican pointed out the Taliban have taken over billions of dollars in American equipment, while Afghanistan has become a safe haven for extremists.<\/p>\n<p>Gimenez noted the billions of dollars worth of equipment seized by the Taliban, such as helicopters and small arms. He added because of this, he didn\u2019t think any American should feel safer today than they did a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>The Republican lawmaker blamed the increased risk of a terrorist attack on the \u201cbotched Afghanistan pullout.\u201d He has remained a strong critic against Joe Biden\u2019s handling of the withdrawal and slammed him for calling it a success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBiden\u2019s Afghanistan blunder left 13 service members dead, countless Americans stranded, our Afghan allies abandoned, the Taliban with billions in military equipment, and our world allies lacking trust in America,\u201d he expressed in a recent tweet. \u201cThat is not an \u2018extraordinary success.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">With the threat of Al Qaeda &amp; ISIS growing from the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, we must secure our southern border.<\/p>\n<p>I joined <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HomelandGOP?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@HomelandGOP<\/a> to call for a hearing on the impact to our homeland security from the dueling crises in Afghanistan &amp; at our southern border.
