Rep. Byron Donalds on Monday called on President Joe Biden to resign.
“Calling on the leader of the free world to resign his office immediately weighs heavy on my heart, but this must happen to restore American’s safety both at home and abroad, our honor, and faith in the Chief Executive to faithfully execute the duties of the Presidency,” the Naples Republicans wrote on Facebook.
In an extended statement released by his office, Donalds said the calamity in Afghanistan warranted an action only taken by one President before.
“It has become clear that President Biden has lost complete and total confidence of the American people through his haphazard decision to withdraw from Afghanistan,” Donalds said. “This botched withdrawal is currently threatening the lives of our servicemen and women, the stability in the region, and our integrity on the global stage.”
The withdrawal of troops has drawn consistent criticism from Republicans in Congress, and Donalds isn’t the first to question Biden’s fitness to serve. U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, also a Naples Republican, has even asked for the Cabinet to explore removing Biden using the 25th Amendment.
But that doesn’t mean Biden lacks support. While Democrats were noticeably silent as the Taliban retook Afghanistan, many vocally came out in support of Biden after the President made a speech defending his decision to withdraw.
“I support President Biden’s decision to end America’s longest war,” tweeted U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor, a Tampa Democrat. “Over the last 20 years, we witnessed the courage, bravery and commitment of our military service members, diplomats and NGOs in Afghanistan. They kept America safe and brought Osama bin Laden to justice.”
But Donalds, who voted against impeaching President Donald Trump after his supporters stormed the Capitol to stop certification of his electoral defeat, said he had an obligation to demand Biden’s resignation over failures in Afghanistan.
“As an elected member of the House of Representatives, I swore an oath to protect our Constitution, and I take that solemn responsibility with the utmost seriousness,” he said. “In good faith, I cannot look my constituents in the eye, many of whom are veterans, and tell them that the President of the United States can perform the duties entrusted to him by the Constitution.

15,000 refugees evacuated yesterday. Not a single American has died in the evacuation. Byron Donalds has never ‘organized’ any mass evacuation nor has he served in the military. Joe Biden is doing a fine job in Afghanistan…..because he has a qualified leadership team. It take responsible determination to accomplish this necessary task…..

Funny you mention the fact that Byron Donalds did not serve in the military, but stopped there. How come you made no mention of Joe Biden and him being a draft dodger from the Vietnam War. You say Joe Biden is doing a fine job there. So why did he close down Bagram Air Base and send all of the troops home? So 2500 troops leave and now he had to send nearly 6000 back. Someone screwed the pooch bad. I’m betting Dementia Joe disregarded the recommendations by his SOD and is now paying a huge price for his buffoonery.

Something else I forgot to comment on. You said “qualified leadership team”. Once again that is hilarious. I guess we should leave Kamala Harris out of this since she is still resolving that crisis at the Southern Border. There will be fallout from this debacle in Afghanistan be it Blinken, Austin, or Milley. Maybe all thre will be shown the door or resign. Heads definitely need to roll over this complete mismanagement of the evacuation of Afghanistan.

Jake Sullivan is the spokesperson for the National Security team. Kamala Harris’s ONLY OPTION to solve the southern border immigration crisis is to petition Congress to develop new immigration laws. ….and that’s exactly what she is doing.
In 2017 Trump asked Republicans to develop a new immigration policy. Lindsey Graham led the bipartisan project and developed real change policies. Steven Millar worked behind the scenes to defeat the proposed laws.
Joe Biden is following current immigration laws. Presidents don’t write legislation….. they enforce it. Congress makes law so write to your congressman. I’m sure Marco Rubio and Rick Scott will jump right on it for you!

I am an experienced combat veteran and I will tell you right now, this needs to be answered for. Everyone has excuses these days. NO solutions, NO personal responsibility. U.S. citizens were left behind in an active war zone as well as walking away deserting our allies. We are starting down the barrel of one of the biggest hostage crisis scenarios of the last 100 years. And you all can not see past your pettiness and politics.

OK…..we’ve heard from yet another arm chair general. What exactly does Byron Donalds contribute to the American Experience by his political hack statement?
Vietnam was yet another failed American foreign policy…..ask Cadet Bonespurs.

Why not ask the current CIC about his Vietnam experience? Or maybe Hunter? Never mind he was only in until his first drug test.

Same old nonsense. Have you found Hunter’s laptop? How about the Durham report? It’s been more than two weeks …..where is Trump’s “much much better ….much much cheaper” national health care plan for all American? Any news from the Cyber Ninjas and their fake Arizona voting audit? Why don’t you get busy?!?! LOL
