Murphy: “Biden Should Resign”

August 26, 2021

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. (NC-03) released the following statement after President Biden's speech regarding today's attack in Afghanistan.

"After watching tonight's speech, I don't know how anyone could have confidence in this Administration's ability to solve this crisis – especially in light of the fact that it is of their own making. The truth is that President Biden has been in office for 8 months and he alone is responsible for the way in which his Administration has facilitated the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Now a dozen U.S. servicemembers have lost their lives as a result of his failure of leadership and his inability to realize the ramifications of his actions. It's a tragedy, and sadly, one that was completely avoidable.

President Biden should resign from office. Though I fear his replacement, Vice President Kamala Harris, would be worse for our country. I am praying for the future of our nation tonight."
