MSNBC brought what some consider an extreme take on the Afghanistan crisis by comparing pro-life Republicans to the Taliban.

have all spoken out against the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. Each of them noted women and girls will be the most vulnerable from this terrorist organization.

"And yet," Obeidallah writes,"I have to wonder where these voices were when extremists, based on a narrow reading of their religion’s beliefs, enacted a law that forces a woman who was raped to carry the fetus of the rapist to term?" Throughout the piece, Obeidallah criticized Republicans for allegedly behaving like the Taliban despite supporting women’s rights in Afghanistan. Although he denied this comparison directly, he maintained that some Republicans"champion measures to deprive women of freedom."

"Look, nobody is saying the GOP and the Taliban are equally bad. But in just the past few months, we’ve seen Republicans champion measures to deprive women of freedom over their own bodies, as well as oppose laws to protect women from violence and ensure that women are paid the same wages as men. And they’ve done so, at least in part, to impose their religious beliefs on all others," Obeidallah wrote.

He wrote,"If the GOP wants to show that it is sincerely concerned with the rights of the women in Afghanistan, it can start by first championing the human rights of women in the U.S. But instead, it is doing all it can to prevent gender equality while oppressing women based on its members’ extreme religious beliefs.

Of course. What, were we expecting them to take accountability for voting in the man responsible for the fall of Afghanistan?

I mean....

MSNBC is just completely ridiculous! They’re insanely bias. I guess they’ll say anything to take the spotlight off of the disastrous Dems and their failed President.

Republicans play blame game with Biden on AfghanistanPresident Joe Biden is facing sharp criticism from Republicans over the escalating crisis in Afghanistan after Taliban fighters rapidly seized in the war-torn country. Idiotic. It's not the why, it's the how. Stop shilling for the admin. Biden threw up a strawman smokescreen of good points against the continued mission in attempt to obscure the horrific mess he created in the last week. The American people can see through this. It is not whether we should withdraw. It is how it was planned for and then managed. This Administration has failed at both. Trying to cleanup for more failed biden policies. After 50 years of failure are you not tired of cleaning up after him? It wasn't the withdrawal, it was the execution or lack there of.
