Watch: Josh Hawley On The Resignation Of General Miley

Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri has demanded the resignation of Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan in the aftermath of the US withdrawal of military forces from Afghanistan, which resulted in the deaths of 13 members of the armed forces, and the abandonment of American citizens and green card holders in the country.

Hawley expressed that in light of the failures of the administration's leadership in leaving Afghanistan at the end of the 20 years' war, he would not vote to confirm any further nominations put forth by Biden until these resignations were tendered.

"So let me be clear," Hawley began, "I will not consent to the nomination of any nominee for the Department of Defense, or for the Department of State until Secretary Austin and Secretary Blinken and Jake Sullivan resign. Leaders take responsibility for their failures and the failure of these individuals. The failure of this administration has cost Americans their lives, and has left American civilians to the enemy. There must be accountability. And then there must be a new start."

Hawley decried the administration for leaving "hundreds of American civilians left behind to the enemy," and said that Biden's claiming that the departure mission was "extraordinarily successful and extraordinary success" was unforgettable in light of the apparent failures.

"Really," Hawley continued, "has the Commander-in-chief, in American American history, ever before uttered words like that? Has the Commander-in-chief ever celebrated as successful—successful—the abandonment of American civilians, to an enemy, the death of American soldiers? The terrorizing of American citizens and American allies?"

Hawley said that he hoped to never again hear "such shameful and disgraceful words from a President of the United States."

"This President is a disgrace," he declared. "His behavior is disgraceful, he has dishonored this country with his shameful leadership in this crisis. And it is time for him to resign. And if he had the responsibility of leadership, he would resign for the crisis that he has himself led this nation into and the responsibility he bears for the lives that had been lost. And for the American citizens who are even now as I speak, trapped in Afghanistan, left to the enemy, because of his failures, and his shameful disgraceful leadership."

Hawley read the names of those fallen US soldiers, and highlighted one of his own constituents who was killed in Afghanistan on August 26, Missourian Marine Corps Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz.

Hawley noted that the sacrifices of those individuals "demand" that "Congress prioritize transparency and full accountability. And these sacrifices demand that we hold responsible those who bear the blame for the failure of the last month, and of all the months that preceded it."

And these sacrifices demand that we hold responsible those who bear the blame for the failure of the last month, and of all the months that preceded it," Hawley said. The list of Biden's failures was extensive, Hawley conceded.
