Texas Insider Report: SAN ANTONIO, Texas – Congressman Tony Gonzales (TX-23) released the following statement on the events of the weekend in Afghanistan:
“The series of events happening in Afghanistan is angering and saddening,” said Congressman Gonzales.
“Americans, including myself, have fought and many have died in Afghanistan for two decades to ensure another 9/11 tragedy never happens again on our shores.
"The Biden Administration’s careless approach to allow it to get to this dire point will not be forgotten on the world stage anytime soon.”
