“If the allegations that General Milley went rogue and told an adversary of the United States that he would provide advanced notice of an attack have any merit he should immediately resign or be fired. If true, he should be court-martialed.” - Senator Mike Braun

“President Biden is reeling from his failures in Afghanistan, the border, and our economic recovery by desperately overstepping his authority with vaccine mandates for private businesses that violate the individual liberty this country was built on.”

JASPER, IN -- Today, Senator Mike Braun joined a letter with 25 Senate Republican colleagues to President Biden calling for answers on how many Americans are left in Afghanistan, what steps the administration is taking to ensure that individuals who are not American citizens, Special Immigrant Visa applicants or green card holders are thoroughly vetted and their identities verified before entering the United States, as well as other questions related to the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan...

"As around 5,000 evacuated Afghans will be temporarily housed at Indiana’s Camp Atterbury while they are vetted for resettlement across the country, it is extremely important that all local units of government and first responders know who they are, how many, and what part of the vetting process they’re in so Hoosiers do not suffer the fallout of President Biden’s disastrous withdrawal. I have communicated to the relevant federal departments that vetting details and any plans for resettlement...

It’s disgraceful that we’re leaving in an embarrassing way like this, reminiscent of Vietnam. 

I think this was an unforced error.

President Trump when he actually agreed to doing it over time - it...

“You know I’ve been there two and a half years, a little over that, and I've never seen anything like this. Broad strategy, I think Trump had it right: we can’t be the policemen of the world. But the execution here has been panned across the political spectrum."

“This is a blemish that to me, along with the call that Biden made on the southern border about undoing policies that were actually working just because they were Trump’s - I don’t know that he survives this leading...

JASPER, Ind. - On August 5th, last Thursday, Senator Mike Braun and Representative Louie Gohmert sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra demanding answers on where illegal immigrants have been sent or transported in the United States, how many were sent, if they were tested for COVID, and how many tested positive.
