An American whose Marine brother was killed after US President Joe Biden ordered the chaotic Afghan withdrawal blasted the latter’s administration over a claim, blaming former US President Donald Trump for the controversy.
Roice McCollum slammed the Biden administration after the latter reported that Donald Trump’s administration was at fault over the said withdrawal.
Roice’s brother, 20-year old Rylee McCollum was killed by the Talibans while guarding Kabul airport on August 26, 2021.
According to the reports, Rylee and 12 other members of the US military as well as 170 Afghan civilians were all killed by a massive blast during the controversial military withdrawal from Afghanistan.
During an interview with Daily Mail, McCollum told the media outlet that her family was angered by the Biden administration’s report, claiming that the Trump Administration should be blamed for the withdrawal.
“This administration is a disgrace to this country. They are destroying America from the inside out,” McCollum said.
“Of course Biden would blame it on Trump, he said a couple days ago they have to do everything in their power to keep Trump from getting elected again. It’s just propaganda. They are trying to manipulate public opinion,” she lamented.
The media outlet also asked her how she and her family felt following Thursday’s decision, blaming Trump to which she responded, claiming that “this administration keeps twisting the dagger and blatantly stating they have zero remorse for the death and tragedy that took place under their leadership, or lack there of.”
“Every time this administration is forced to acknowledge Biden’s incompetence as commander in chief, we get to relive Rylee’s unnecessary death,” she added.
The former Marine’s sister spoke in response to Biden’s team, claiming that the Trump administration caused the series of failures in preparing for the withdrawal.
On Thursday, Biden’s administration was slammed for claiming that the footage, showing desperate Afghans falling from US planes while Taliban members shoot people on the streets, was not “chaotic.”
“ this talk of chaos, I just don’t see it. I just don’t buy the whole argument of chaos.” Kirby said during a White House briefing.
“saying that everything was perfect. But there was a lot that went right. And a lot of Afghans are now living better lives in this country and other countries around the world, because of the sacrifices and the work of so many American government officials. So yeah, there’s a lot to be proud of,” he added.
