Sen. Mitt Romney said Sunday morning that the current situation in Afghanistan is the direct result of decisions made by both the Trump and Biden administrations.
"If you focus on what we should do right now, recognize we're in the position we're in right now is because of terrible decisions made by two administrations," the Utah Republican told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."
"You can't, as one party, end a war. It takes two parties to end a war. The Taliban and the radical violent jihadists in the world haven't stopped fighting. They're going to continue to fight us. The war is not over." "The idea that we could pull out of a dangerous place where radical violent jihadists are organizing — that we could pull out of that and that is going to stop them — that's fantasy," he said. "They'll continue in their effort to regroup and come after America."Fellow Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina made similar remarks on CBS' "Face the Nation.
Former Trump national security adviser H.R. McMaster said that "we all share responsibility" for the war in Afghanistan.

GOP rift widens amid growing hostility to Afghan refugeesAs the U.S. rushes to evacuate Americans and allies from the chaos of Afghanistan, a growing number of Republicans are questioning why the U.S. should take in Afghan citizens who worked side by side with Americans, further exacerbating divides within the party heading into next year’s midterm elections. Little more than a week ago, as the Taliban’s stunning takeover of Afghanistan still was snapping into focus, former President Donald Trump issued a statement saying “civilians and others who have been good to our Country ... should be allowed to seek refuge.” “How many terrorists will Joe Biden bring to America?” he asked.
