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

— Congressman Greg Steube (@RepGregSteube) August 26, 2021

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.

This will frame the 2022 election. Probably be impeached and convicted in by Christmas.

Empty words. None of these statements actually mean anything. The goal is social media engagement and fundraising.

By the time they’d get around to impeaching Biden his term would be almost over...

Political theater. Not going to happen. Even if Republicans controlled the House and controlled the Senate with 67 or more senators, it wouldn’t happen. It sure as hell isn’t going to happen with Rats controlling both chambers.

Even these did not accuse Traitorjoe for his giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States.

All options will be worse.

The entire Biden-Harris administration must be gone.

Pelosi and her backers must be gone. No, Hillary does not get to play either.

All of the Democrats in Congress must be gone.

Most of the Republicans in Congress must be gone.

The civilian agencies and departments must be purged.

A number of large corporations must be denied the monopoly protections they have under the current Government. Ultimately they must be broken up.

It's a lot of work ahead and none of it will be easy. There are no guarantees of good results either.

"Interesting times"

A Texas Congressman, Jake Ellzey, was on Fox News. He is the toughest and strongest of anyone I have heard over this mess. He has done ten tours in Afghanistan as a Navy fighter pilot.

He is demanding Nancy Pelosi call all members back to DC immediately saying do your job! He wants Congress to override Joe Biden’s decisions one of which is to reopen Bagram.

As much as I despise Joe Biden nowadays, I don’t think he can be blamed for Kabul airport security lapses.

The attacks were expected. It was up to the US military onsite to minimize possible loss of life.

Yes, but impeachment duties are different. Not going to happen. The only way to get him out is 25th or death.

Dunno if that is a good plan.
But demanding that Creepy Uncle Joe sack the military leadership from SecDef Austin down might be a good idea.

This needs to morph from a bandwagon, into a Tsunami! Biden must go! It is clear to me that coming disasters he has enabled are going to dominate the news cycle, and the political discourse in the US. He cannot fix what he has broken, so we no longer can tolerate him in power, as he cannot do his job. He MUST GO!

The traitor cowards in DC have no intention of ever impeaching Jobama because the majority of them belong to the same crime family and Jobama is their Don.

Nice work compiling and presenting that list. Some real prize choices that we are being given - ehh?

I would say that the correct answer to the question on this test is: "None of the above".

Interesting times.
