U.S. Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Amarillo) joined a statement by a group of House Republicans this week, calling on President Joe Biden to support the continuation of evacuations for Americans and U.S. partners out of Afghanistan.

In a statement from the House Foreign Affairs Committee Republicans, including Jackson and lead Republican Michael McCaul (R-Texas), Biden was called upon to continue evacuations in Afghanistan in response to the ongoing foreign policy crisis in the region. The full statement is as follows:

“For months, we have consistently urged President Biden and his administration to develop and implement a plan to evacuate our Afghan partners, to secure the U.S. embassy, to keep Americans in the country safe, and to manage the impending humanitarian crisis. He ignored us. We are facing this shameful moment in our history because of President Biden’s failed leadership. Full stop. It is reprehensible that National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and President Joe Biden are now refusing – repeatedly – to commit to continuing the evacuation of American citizens and our Afghan partners until they are all safely out of the country. We demand President Biden immediately and publicly commit to continuing evacuations for as long as it takes to get all Americans and Afghan allies to safety. Refusing to do so will only serve to further damage U.S. credibility as a partner moving forward.”
