Trump and some Republicans are praising
the Taliban to criticize Biden despite
years of chest-thumping over jihadist
terrorism
Aug 19
Just weeks before the 20th anniversary
of the 9/11 attacks by Islamist
terrorists, some of the US's most
prominent Republicans are now praising
the Taliban to own the libs.
Former President Donald Trump and other
Republicans have in recent days used
the radical militant group's takeover
in Afghanistan to air their grievances
against President Joe Biden, "big tech,"
and Trump's Twitter ban — even as the
militants violently cracked down on
protests against their rule and people
trying to escape.
During an appearance on Fox News host
Sean Hannity's show Tuesday night,
Trump falsely claimed the Taliban has
been around for "a thousand years"
(the organization was founded in 1994),
and lauded the group as being "smart"
and having "good fighters."
Hours earlier, Trump's son Donald Trump
Jr. took to Twitter to voice his support
for the jihadist group's false claim
that civil rights issues in Afghanistan
under Taliban rule are comparable to the
free speech debate in the US.
