>Hawley last year began a blanket hold on all Defense Department nominees, threatening to keep it in place until Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, national security adviser Jake Sullivan and Secretary of State Antony Blinken resign over the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal.

Hmmm? I'm sorry? Lemme just check some dates here and your own personal government page there Mr traitor

>Today U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO.) sent a letter to Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller expressing his support for President Trump’s plan to promptly withdraw American troops from Afghanistan. Senator Hawley writes that the original U.S. counterterrorism mission in Afghanistan has given way to nation-building, the costs of which are borne overwhelmingly by working Americans.

Wow to the absolute surprise of fucking noone.

Unfortunately, he isn't there to govern consistently. He's there to make the keys to power happy, and the keys that got him power don't like the Democrats.

This. Biden actually dragged out the withdraw from Afghanistan longer to give people who wanted/needed to leave more time. I can't imagine Trump's original faster timetable would have been less chaotic.
