Congressman OBLITERATES Katilan Collins, Scorches CNN For Covering For Democrats

Congressman Brian Mast (R-FL) didn’t hold back as he accused CNN host Kaitlan Collins and her network of covering for the Biden-Harris administration, particularly criticizing their handling of the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal and bias against former President Donald Trump.

“They squandered the service of every veteran that served in Afghanistan because of that withdrawal because they failed to talk about the failures that exist there. They look at us as disposable.”

“Well, I’m not sure that’s fair to say, Congressman,” Collins retorted.

“When President Biden goes out onto a tarmac, checks his watch, they’re seeing us as disposable individuals,” Mast continued. “When they don’t calculate the cost of war for when you come home, right now, let’s talk about a factual thing. If you’re in the VA right now and you’re getting care for mental health counseling in the community, the Harris-Biden administration is trying to strip you of your community care. They want you to come back into the VA no matter the wait times.”

“But, Congressman, I think you can disagree with them on policy, disagree with them on the Afghanistan exit. We’ve had plenty of Republicans here who have. But to say that President Biden doesn’t appreciate military service, given his son, I think you would agree that’s an unfair comment,” Collins countered.

However, Mast remained resolute, responding, “I wouldn’t say that at all. Given a work in pairing, you’re talking about words that is not fair. You’re talking about words of President Trump versus literal actions of the Biden administration again and I’ll use these words.”

Rep. Mast is a decorated U.S. military veteran who has represented Florida’s 21st congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives since 2017. Mast served in the U.S. Army as an explosive ordnance disposal technician during Operation Enduring Freedom. His service in Afghanistan in 2010 resulted in the loss of both his legs.

Biden faced significant criticism for the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. The pullout, which marked the end of a 20-year military presence, was marred by chaotic scenes at Kabul’s airport as desperate Afghans attempted to flee the country following the Taliban’s rapid takeover. Critics from both sides of the political spectrum argued that the withdrawal was poorly executed, leading to unnecessary loss of life and the abandonment of U.S. allies.

Republicans were particularly vocal, accusing Biden of incompetence and failing to anticipate the swift collapse of the Afghan government. They pointed to the deaths of 13 U.S. service members in a terrorist attack during the evacuation as evidence of mismanagement. Furthermore, concerns were raised about the equipment and weapons left behind, now in the hands of the Taliban.

Biden defended his decision, stating that he inherited a flawed deal from the Trump administration and that extending the war would have only prolonged the inevitable. Despite this, the images of chaos and the humanitarian crisis that followed have left a lasting stain on his presidency.
