DES MOINES, Iowa – U.S. Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, R-Iowa, an Army veteran who represents Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District called for the resignation of President Joe Biden and several members of his cabinet and staff over the Afghanistan withdrawal that has led to the deadliest day for U.S. service members in Afghanistan in a decade.

Along with Biden’s resignation, Miller-Meeks called for White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to resign as well.

“Given the operational failure of the withdrawal, President Biden should resign as commander-in-chief. Sullivan, Austin, Blinken, and Mayorkas should hand in their resignations. I’ve been calling for evacuations since June & now we have multiple needless casualties and injuries,” she tweeted.
