After what we’ve seen these last week or two you’d think those working in the Biden administration might hold off on the “holding terrorists to account” rhetoric, but Secretary of State Anthony Blinken went for it anyway:
On this International Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the #VictimsofTerrorism, we honor those we have lost to terrorism, at home and abroad. The United States stands resolute in our commitment to holding terrorists to account.

They couldn’t possibly be more tone deaf.

This guy, how do you get the audacity to tweet something like this?

Mr Blinken, stay quiet for a while. Your team has serious credibility problem. Just stay quiet.

Unless they are the Taliban, then we just give them billions in weapons https://t.co/beAEH3tYKh

And the Taliban didn’t really even have to “seize” anything — they were left there for them.
And the best way to honor victims of terrorism is to…checks notes…charge stranded Americans $2,000 a head to escape a country run by terrorists https://t.co/nK5HBwjWsm

Reminder: Just a few days ago, a State Department spokesman expressed a hope that the Taliban would govern Afghanistan in an “inclusive” way. these people are clueless.

Blinken really should sit this one out. The problem is he’s have to resign to do so.
