The hue and cry from my neck of the woods is deafening:

South Carolina Congressman Tom Rice (R-Myrtle Beach) called on President Joe Biden to resign over his “haphazard withdrawal” from Afghanistan that he blamed for the terrorist attack in Kabul.

(Remember when Tommy did one right thing…yeah, that was an aberration.)

Graham Allen, a right-wing TV and radio personality from Anderson who is running to unseat Rice, joined the call for Biden’s removal. “I AM CALLING ON BIDEN TO RESIGN IMMEDIATELY AND DEMANDING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO DEMAND THE SAME!!!”

Jeanette Spurlock, another candidate for the 7th Congressional seat, called for Biden’s impeachment regarding his handling of Afghanistan earlier this week. “We must immediately file articles of impeachment against Joe Biden and those that worked in unison with him on this horrific disaster of a pull out,” she wrote in a Facebook post on Aug. 24.

U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham said he supported the president’s impeachment.”This is the most dishonorable thing the commander-in-chief has done maybe in modern times,” Graham said. “Joe Biden, for political reasons, wanted to pull all of our troops out because of the polling numbers, and what has he done? He’s created the conditions for another 9/11, he’s abandoned thousands of people who honorably and bravely fought along with us.”

But I saved the best for last…

South Carolina Rep. Russell Fry (R-Surfside Beach) also issued a statement Thursday, but stopped short of calling on Biden to resign. Rather, he said, Biden should appoint Trump to oversee the rest of America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan. “For the sake of our countrymen in harm’s way, it’s time for Biden to live up to his own words of bipartisanship and turn to trusted hands who know how to get the job done,” Fry wrote in a statement he posted on Facebook and shared with The Sun News. “I call on Joe Biden to set aside political differences and, in a spirit of true bipartisan cooperation, appoint Donald J. Trump as his special envoy to oversee the Afghanistan withdrawal.”

Sigh—living among them is hazardous to my health and sanity.
