Speaking from the Senate floor on Wednesday, McConnell said Biden \u201cgave our enemies in Afghanistan everything they wanted and got less than nothing in return.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This comes as Biden has come under fire for publicly misstating the guidance he was given from top generals and rejecting their best military counsel. U.S. Central Command Gen. Frank McKenzie reportedly told Biden to keep 2,500 troops in Afghanistan. Although, Biden has continued to claim he never received such advice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese top generals gave President Biden exactly the advice the President told the American people he had not received,\u201d said McConnell from the Senate floor.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The consequences of the Biden Administration\u2019s hasty retreat from Afghanistan were not just foreseeable. They were foreseen. And yet on this President\u2019s watch, we left Americans and vulnerable Afghans behind.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Leader McConnell (@LeaderMcConnell) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeaderMcConnell\/status\/1437538587759742978?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 13, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>McConnell added the U.S. is now facing a greater terrorist threat from Afghanistan. He noted \u201cwe have less intelligence about that growing threat\u201d and fewer tools with which to combat it.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/biden-cancels-trip-to-chicago-continues-negotiations-with-democrat-reconciliation-holdouts\/\">Biden Cancels Trip To Chicago, Continues Negotiations With Democrat Reconciliation Holdouts<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky, with Republican Senators John Barrasso (L) and John Thune, speaks to reporters after the Republican policy luncheon at the U.S. Capitol &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-829377","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/829377","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=829377"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/829377\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=829377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=829377"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=829377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
