Imagine, if you will, former President Donald Trump was in charge while thousands of American citizens were essentially trapped behind enemy lines in a hostile nation controlled by brutal terrorists who hate America.
How long do you think it would have taken for House Democrats to draw up articles of impeachment?
I think it’s fair and reasonable to say that they would have been taking an impeachment vote within mere days — maybe even hours — of a hypothetically similar foreign policy debacle under a Trump presidency.
After all, Trump was impeached — twice — for far lesser offenses.
Now that Biden has lost much of his mainstream media and congressional shielding over his humiliating Afghanistan blunder, there are serious questions being raised in all corners — including in Congress — about the possibility of his resignation, or even a possible impeachment.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was the latest high-profile figure to suggest that impeachment could be on the table, citing Biden’s failure of securing the safety of Americans trapped in Afghanistan as a “dereliction of duty.”
And he’s not wrong.
"We're duty-bound to get every American citizen out. We're honor bound to get those Afghanistan who fought along our side out," Graham said in a recent Fox News interview.
"If we leave any American behind, if we leave thousands of those Afghans who fought along our side behind bravely, Joe Biden deserves to be impeached for a high crime and misdemeanor of dereliction of duty," Graham added.
The South Carolina Republican added: "If we leave one American behind, if we don't get all those Afghanistan -- Afghans who have stepped up to the plate and helped us out, then Joe Biden, in my view, has committed a high crime and misdemeanor under the Constitution and should be impeached."
David N. Bossie penned a Washington Times op-ed and summed it up best when he wrote:
If an American president can be impeached for a phone call with Ukraine, can a president also be impeached for overseeing the incompetent, negligent, and devastating collapse of Afghanistan while he’s on vacation?
Others have even suggested utilizing the 25th Amendment to push Biden out of office.
Amy Tarkanian, former Nevada GOP chairwoman, wrote recently on social media:
"The Cabinet should immediately invoke the 25th Amendment. If they won't do that, the Congress should move to impeach him. Him remaining as our Commander In Chief is a national security threat.”
For days now, the hashtag “#impeachBiden” has trended on Twitter, which, considering Twitter’s seeming alliance with both Biden’s White House and the Taliban, is quite the feat.
While Biden might still have House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and other top House Dems fooled — or more likely, scared — don’t think for a second that Republicans will forget about this debacle next year if they win back majority control of the House, which they are widely predicted and expected to do.
If Biden is still president at that time, and that is definitely a big “if” as it stands, don’t be surprised to see Republicans exact revenge in the form of impeachment, with the exception now being that they have actual legitimate reasons to do so, unlike Democrats when Trump was president.
Let me know what you think. Should Biden be impeached or otherwise removed from office over his embarrassing and shockingly dangerous Afghanistan debacle?
