It couldn’t have been much fun being Secretary of State Antony Blinken Wednesday. First, he was eviscerated in a House Foreign Affairs Committee meeting by Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) over the disastrous U.S. evacuation of Afghanistan—for which finally Blinken
expressed regret—but then he was grilled by
Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL) over the estimated "tens of billions" of U.S. taxpayer dollars he says the Biden-Harris regime has been funneling to the Taliban.
"There's an American citizen out there, literally woke up this morning losing 30% of their paycheck. And a good percentage of that is going to the Taliban or other programs abroad," Mast said. "And this is something that we all need to think about, and we will be thinking about deeply for the next two years. There's a joke that's made often out there about kids going to college to learn basket weaving, and what a joke that would be. But the United States right now is literally sending tens of millions of dollars to the Taliban. 14.9 million, to be exact, to teach Afghans how to do carpet weaving."
