McCarthy: US is less safe now and Taliban have more Blackhawk helicopters than Australia

SANAA, Aug. 31 (YPA) – House  Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy accused President Joe Biden of abandoning Americans in Kabul to be hostages and arming the Taliban with more Blackhawk helicopters than Australia owns in a Sunday interview with Fox News Channel

He warned abandoning military equipment to the insurgent group makes the United States ‘less safe now than before 9/11.’

The Republican leader accused the federal government of allowing female students to “dictate foreign policy.”

McCarthy said about 250 Americans in contact with the State Department are trying to get out of Afghanistan, while the administration has announced that about 5,550 Americans have been evacuated since August 14, accusing the US government of leaving the remaining Americans behind hostages of the Taliban and ISIS.
