RNC quietly deletes webpage touting Trump's call for U.S. troops to withdraw from Afghanistan
The Republican National Committee was caught attempting to quietly erase history on Sunday

"The Republican National Committee was caught attempting to quietly erase history on Sunday when a page on GOP.com praising former President Donald Trump's "historic peace agreement with the Taliban" was deleted as Afghanistan fell to the Taliban. "How quickly can the politics around Afghanistan change? Here's a section on the RNC's website in June; click it now, and you get a 404 error." Washington Post's David Weigel added alongside an image of the dated page.
Notably, as the situation quickly unravels in Afghanistan, many Republicans are already flipping on positions about withdrawing troops from the region held only months ago. Individual members of the Trump administration faced blowback as well over their roles in the conflict; former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was mocked on social media and questioned by Fox News’s Chris Wallace over US negotiations with Taliban leaders that occurred under his watch even as he sought to cast blame on the US exit."
Why delete or try to distance yourself from something you should be proud of...95% of the country wanted to get out of Afghanistan and truth be told -- a majority of that 95% didn't really give a fuck about the fate of the Afghani people after we left...so why the faux outrage now?? Why try to delete something you were cheering for just a couple of months ago? Ending this war is something to be proud of....
Why make yourself look like a hypocritical moron in this way?
Exhibit #1
Exhibit #2 -- Pompeo meeting with Taliban to discuss the release of 5000 Taliban fighters, lifting sanctions on the Taliban, etc, etc, etc...
Exhibit #3 -- One of the chief architects of these Taliban peace deal/withdrawal negotiations said this....
Exhibit #4 -- Even Trump back in 2012 said what we all knew years ago......so why are we pretending like this wasn't the case now??
