EDITOR:

I will concede that President Donald Trump exaggerated and even lied at times. My liberal friends argued that he should have been impeached, replaced or had resigned over these nebulous statements. President Biden lied directly to the American people during an ABC interview when George Stephanopoulos asked, “…your top military advisors warned against withdrawing on this timeline. They wanted you to keep about 2,500 troops.” and President Biden responded with, “No, they didn’t. It was split. Tha– that wasn’t true. That wasn’t true.”

The President’s top military advisors, over the past two days, have testified they did want to keep 2,500 troops in Afghanistan and did advise the President of it. It is the President’s right, as Commander in Chief, to make a decision against his chief military officer’s advice, and Biden did so, but that decision caused the deaths of 13 of our service members and countless civilians and is solely the responsibility of President Joe Biden.

As for the LIE spewed directly to the American people on the ABC program, in the words of my liberal friends, Joe Biden must immediately resign from office or face impeachment in January 2023 when the new congress convenes.
