James Risch (R-Idaho) said the Biden administration\u2019s tolerance of the Taliban terrorist group is unprecedented. During an interview on Tuesday, the Idaho Republican said the White House doesn\u2019t typically recognize coups as a government, but argued that with Afghanistan they did exactly that.<\/p>\n<p>This comes a day after Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the Taliban is the \u201cde facto government of Afghanistan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt [the Taliban] is the de facto government of Afghanistan. Those are just the facts,\u201d stated Blinken to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. \u201cThis is the product, alas, of one side getting the upper hand in a civil war.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The American people want to know who is responsible for the disastrous withdrawal from <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Afghanistan?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Afghanistan<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/aBf08hHavW\">pic.twitter.com\/aBf08hHavW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jim Risch (@SenatorRisch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenatorRisch\/status\/1437841346333659147?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 14, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Risch stressed this is a slap in the face to every American who died overseas to protect Afghans from oppressive leadership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a democratically-elected government in place that a lot of men and women in the United States gave blood for and that we all paid treasure for,\u201d said Risch. \u201cThey were in place, and they\u2019ve been toppled by a terrorist group. To call them a government, I think, is obscene. I think it\u2019s a slap in the face of every person who served in Afghanistan.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/gop-sens-pen-letter-to-secy-blinken-calling-on-taliban-to-be-designated-as-foreign-terrorist-organization\/\">GOP Sens.
