Page 1 of 2

Date Title
03/19/2022 Tweet - "America gets nothing in Biden's Iran Deal: - No serious system to check if the Iranian regime is cheating - No leverage over expanded trade with Russia and China - No safeguards against Iranian terrorism - And nothing to help the Iranian people"
03/16/2022 Tweet - "Remember: Iran is controlled by a regime that chants "Death to America." These are the people President Biden is negotiating with--to give them billions of dollars and nuclear capability. What do you think the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism will do with that?"
03/15/2022 Tweet - "48 hours ago, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard fired dozens of missiles near the US consulate in Iraq. And yet, the Biden admin is quietly rushing ahead with a bad agreement to give Iran's regime nuclear weapons. It's even worse than Obama's Iran Deal."
12/06/2021 Tweet - "Funding our troops through the NDAA should in no way, shape, or form be tied to the debt limit in process or substance."
11/20/2021 Tweet - "After reporting she had been assaulted by a Chinese official, Peng Shuai has gone missing. More proof of the disgusting ways of the CCP. "
09/28/2021 Tweet - "Someone is lying. Either President Biden ignored the advice of his top military advisors and lied to shift blame for his disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal--or those advisors lied to Congress under oath."
09/08/2021 Tweet - "Your tax dollars funded construction of the Bagram air base. And for 20 years our troops sacrificed to defend it. Then, President Biden abandoned it--and our allies--in the middle of the night. Now China is reportedly looking to exploit his failure."
08/31/2021 Tweet - "BREAKING (special character) Democrats just blocked a vote to require a plan from President Biden to bring Americans home and to account for all the military equipment he left behind. Republicans will not stop until every American is home safely."
08/31/2021 Tweet - "President Biden botched the withdrawal from Afghanistan, putting American lives in harm's way and leaving many Americans stranded in a hostile nation. Congress has the responsibility of oversight over the Executive Branch--Speaker Pelosi must bring us back so we can do our job."
08/30/2021 Tweet - "President Biden handed over billions of dollars in American military weaponry to the Taliban. They now have more Blackhawk helicopters than Australia, and they have released thousands of ISIS terrorists from prison. In many ways, we're less safe now than before 9/11."
08/30/2021 Tweet - "House Republicans are in Washington, DC--ready to vote to prohibit President Biden from withdrawing troops from Afghanistan until EVERY American is safely home. Where is Speaker Pelosi? Where are the Democrats?"
08/30/2021 Tweet - "Leave. Nobody. Behind. President Biden is preparing to leave Americans behind in Afghanistan at the mercy of terrorists. Speaker Pelosi must bring Congress back to prohibit the President from withdrawing our troops until every American is out."
08/30/2021 Tweet - "President Biden handed over billions of dollars in American military weaponry to the Taliban. They now have more Blackhawk helicopters than Australia, and they have released thousands of ISIS terrorists from prison. In many ways, we're less safe now than before 9/11."
08/29/2021 Tweet - "While President Biden retreats from Afghanistan in order to meet the Taliban's arbitrary deadline of August 31, he is abandoning American civilians still stranded there. The Commander-in-Chief should not take orders from terrorists."
08/27/2021 Tweet - "If President Biden keeps his Taliban-imposed deadline of August 31st, he will be leaving Americans stranded in Afghanistan. That is unacceptable. Speaker Pelosi must call Congress back into session now to stop this madness until every single American is safely home."
08/26/2021 Tweet - "Horrific. Our enemies have taken advantage of the chaotic nature of Biden's withdrawal. Speaker Pelosi must bring Congress back before Aug 31 so we can be briefed thoroughly by the Administration and prohibit the withdrawal of our troops until every American is safely out."
08/24/2021 Tweet - "Just left a classified briefing on the Afghanistan crisis, and here's what I can tell you: The Biden admin does not have an accurate count of Americans stranded in the country--or a plan to get them out. News conference with U.S. Afghan vets starts soon:"
08/24/2021 Tweet - "Democratic leadership spent their entire day twisting arms to get people to jam through a $3.5 trillion dollar socialist wishlist. But they aren't twisting anyone's arm to make sure Americans get home safely from Afghanistan."
08/24/2021 Tweet - "It's an embarrassing day for our nation. House Democrats just jammed through a $3.5 trillion liberal wishlist. But they haven't lifted a finger to rescue the thousands of Americans still stranded in Afghanistan. They picked socialism over bringing Americans home safely."
08/24/2021 Tweet - "Congress and the White House should be singularly focused on two priorities right now: 1. We must get every American home safely from Afghanistan. 2. We need a strategy from President Biden on how to keep Afghanistan from becoming a terrorist safe haven."
08/23/2021 Tweet - "Think about this for a second. The French & British are going into Afghanistan to rescue their citizens, while the Commander-in-Chief of the greatest military force in the history of the world is deferring to the Taliban in the *hopes* that American citizens can get out safely."
08/22/2021 Tweet - "The French and the British are doing whatever it takes to get their citizens out of Afghanistan. Why isn't President Biden doing the same to rescue American citizens he left stranded?"
08/21/2021 Tweet - "Incredibly moving. I'm grateful for our service members who answered the call of duty to help with the evacuation in Afghanistan. Join me in praying for their continued safety in the midst of colossal mismanagement from the Biden Administration."
08/13/2021 Tweet - "It should have been the U.S. government's responsibility to execute a responsible exit as we withdrew the remaining forces from Afghanistan. But in a matter of months, the Biden admin has led a botched withdrawal process that has now handed an entire country over to terrorists."
07/01/2021 Tweet - "BREAKING (special character) Democrats just blocked funding to resupply the Iron Dome--the missile defense system that has saved countless lives in Israel from Hamas' rocket attacks. While Democrats defend anti-Semitic remarks from their own members, Republicans will always stand with Israel."
