Washington, D.C. – Today, Representative Virginia Foxx (R-NC) issued the following statement on the loss of multiple servicemembers in Afghanistan:

“This week is yet another dark week in a string of tragedies that will forever impact our nation’s future. The loss of American servicemembers in Afghanistan, and the nature of those lost, has shaken the country to its core. Tom and I are praying for every servicemember on the ground in Afghanistan, the families of the fallen, and the Americans who are still stranded.

“It should have never gotten to this point. The failures of President Biden and his administration cannot be overstated. The Biden Administration seems blinded by the notion of making these next few days our nation’s last in Afghanistan – and in so doing, some of the worst in our modern history.”
