Rep. Greg Steube

“Joe Biden needs to take responsibility and resign,” the Florida Republican wrote, calling news of the Marine deaths “horrific.” “We must keep our troops safe and our country protected.”

Horrific.

Joe Biden needs to take responsibility and resign. We must keep our troops safe and our country protected. God bless our soldiers and their families. https://t.co/dW6Gc6lHT9

Rep. Roger Williams

“Today’s terrorist attacks in Afghanistan are the tragic outcomes of the decisions by a failed American President. President Joseph R. Biden Jr. should resign immediately,” the Texas Republican said.

Sen. Ronny Jackson

“THIS IS NOT FUNNY!” tweeted Texas GOP Sen. Ronny Jackson. “He needs to RESIGN immediately!”

SICK! When Biden’s asked what he’ll do if Americans are TRAPPED in Afghanistan after 8/31, he LAUGHS then his handlers cut off the audio. This is all one big joke to him. THIS IS NOT FUNNY! He needs to RESIGN immediately!

Rep. Vicky Hartzler

“We need this president to resign,” the Missouri Republican said in a video posted to Twitter. “He has proven that he is incompetent and he’s incapable of leading this nation. He’s endangering our citizens, and he certainly is endangering us on a world stage, so it is time for him to go.”

Rep. Warren Davidson

“I remain firmly convinced that Joe Biden should resign,” the Ohio Republican said, adding that Antony Blinken, Lloyd Austin, and Alejandro Mayorkas should also be fired.

Rep. Andy Biggs

Rep Andy Biggs, an Arizona Republican, said Biden “must resign” because he “is consistently bad on policy and a danger to our people.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene

“Americans come first,” the Georgia congresswoman said in a press conference. “This administration has failed you on every single level.”

“Everyone involved left tens of thousands Americans behind to be the Taliban’s hostages,” she continued on Twitter. “Every single one, especially Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, should resign. Immediately.”

Rep. Mark Green

“[Biden] is a clear and present danger to the safety of Americans,” the Tennessee Republican told Tammy Bruce on Fox News last week, before the explosions in Kabul on Thursday. “This commander in chief has lost complete touch with reality.”

This is “why Joe Biden needs to resign!” Green added on Twitter.

Rep. Guy Reschenthaler

Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, a Pennsylvania Republican, took to Twitter last week to document American losses in Afghanistan over the past two decades.

“[T]he U.S. suffered 20,000 casualties, lost over 2,300 soldiers, spent over $2.2 trillion,” Reschenthaler tweeted. “And we have nothing to show for it because Biden just handed the country over to terrorists. RT if you think Biden should resign.”

After 20 years in Afghanistan, the U.S.

– suffered 20,000 casualties
– lost over 2,300 soldiers
– spent over $2.2 trillion

And we have nothing to show for it because Biden just handed the country over to terrorists.

— Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (@GReschenthaler) August 20, 2021

“There’s nothing Biden, Blinken, Milley, and the rest of the capitulators can say to undue selling out our allies, diminishing our standing in the world, and handing Afghanistan back to the Taliban. Truly unforgivable,” the congressman also told Newsmax’s Logan Ratick, calling for their resignations.

Rep. Elise Stefanik

Rep. Elise Stefanik, the New York Republican who replaced Cheney as GOP conference chair, said on Aug. 26 that Biden is “unfit to be Commander-in-Chief.”

“Our hearts break across the country for the brave service members who made the ultimate sacrifice. Their families are facing unimaginable news today. Please pray for them,” she said in a press release.

“The buck stops with the President of the United States,” she continued. “Joe Biden has blood on his hands. This horrific national security and humanitarian disaster is solely the result of Joe Biden’s weak and incompetent leadership. He is unfit to be Commander-in-Chief.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham

“I think he should be impeached,” the South Carolina Republican said during a Newsmax segment on Aug. 24. “I think Joe Biden deserves to be impeached because he’s abandoned thousands of Afghans who fought with us, and he’s going to abandon some American citizens because he capitulated to the Taliban to a Aug. 31 deadline.”

Rep. Mike Waltz

“Every single person who is responsible for Americans and our allies should resign for their heartlessness and incompetence,” said Florida GOP Rep. Mike Waltz, saying he was “furious” at the actions of Biden, the National Security Council, and the Department of State.

I am furious over President Biden, the State Department, and the NSC’s actions. Every single person who is responsible for Americans and our allies should resign for their heartlessness and incompetence.

— Rep. Mike Waltz (@michaelgwaltz) August 20, 2021

Rep. Lauren Boebert

Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert also says, “It’s time for Joe Biden to resign.”

It’s time for Joe Biden to resign.

Rep. Jim Jordan

“Resign,” said Rep. Jim Jordan, an Ohio Republican who is known for getting his point across in few words.

Resign.

— Rep. Jim Jordan (@Jim_Jordan) August 26, 2021

This article has been updated as additional lawmakers called on the president to resign.

‘Resign Or Face Impeachment’

Spoiler alert: he won't resign, and with the House in Pelosi's hands, he won't be impeached.

Liberals never apologize. Why should they? Everything is somebody else’s fault.

Is there any way that once he’s impeached can we round up all those Afghanistan and visit people and fly them off somewhere? I am so incredibly nerved by the thought that Isis K entered our country Because of the rats stupidity! Our generals who permitted this atrocity need to be held super accountable too!! Down the road we’re going to hear about massive suicide bombers in malls , restaurants, Amusement parks, concerts, etc.they’re going to be spread all over this country ...Mark my words.

Two choices, resign or face impeachment....

Biden: Sort of nice of them. Like two types of ice cream in a waffle cone. When I can’t choose.

Any democrats? The attitude of democrats explains how hitler came to power. Ordinary people showing unqualified loyalty to the leader, no matter what. Until they are committed to following the orders of a dictator.

Just a quick refresher course.

It only requires a simple majority in the House to impeach, but since Nancy wields the gavel, no article of impeachment will even get a hearing in committee, no matter if all the Republicans are on board.

Removal requires a 2/3rds majority in the Senate. If this were to occur, very highly unlikely, the new President would be Kamala Harris. Given her history on immigration enforcement, do you think she’s going to hunt down our new Afghan neighbors?

This answers my question:

“Every single person who is responsible for Americans and our allies should resign for their heartlessness and incompetence,” said Florida GOP Rep. Mike Waltz, saying he was “furious” at the actions of Biden, the National Security Council, and the Department of State.

Good grief Dan Bongino just ran a cut of Joe just now and for some reason when he starting speaking I thought he was channeling the great Robert E.

Correct, because Congress is the House of Reps and the Senate.
