Hawley threatens hold on State, Defense noms unless Blinken, Austin, Sullivan resign
[NYPOST] Sen. Josh Hawley is threatening to place a hold on all of President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences. So does Afghanistan, aka Biden's Bungle......
’s civilian nominees for positions at the Department of Defense and the State Department at the secretary and deputy levels unless Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan resign over the administration’s chaotic troop withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Hawley argued that the Biden administration (aka the Wilmington comorra)
...the gang of subgeniuses trying to pass themselves off as the adults in charge of the series of calamities characteristic of the administration of a mentally challenged geriatric case...
 has failed to take responsibility for the botched withdrawal that led to the deaths of 13 US servicemembers and at least 100 Americans left stranded, and that his move is necessary to hold those at the top accountable.

"This was never necessary. It did not have to be this way and it shouldn’t have been. Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass. Don't say he didn't warn us...
 is responsible for today’s failure and now there must be accountability. Instead, the president’s team is even now coming to Capitol Hill and blaming others, shirking responsibility — that’s cowardly. And I, for one, am not willing to look the other way," he said on the Senate floor on Tuesday afternoon.

"So let me be clear, I will not consent to the nomination of any nominee for the Department of Defense or for the Department of State until Secretary Austin and Secretary Blinken and Jake Sullivan resign — leaders take responsibility for their failures and the failure of these individuals, the failure of this administration has cost Americans their lives and has left American civilians to the enemy. There must be accountability and there must be a new start."

In addition to calling for the administration officials’ resignations, Hawley went as far as calling for President Biden’s resignation over his "disgraceful" handling of the withdrawal, slamming his remarks calling the evacuation a "success."

"This president is a disgrace. His behavior is disgraceful. He has dishonored this country with his shameful leadership in this crisis and it is time for him to resign," he said.

"And if he had the responsibility of leadership, he would resign for the crisis that he has himself led this nation into and the responsibility he bears for the lives that have been lost and for the American citizens who are even now as I speak trapped in Afghanistan, left to the enemy because of his failures and his shameful, disgraceful leadership."

Hawley’s vow to blockade nominees could lead to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer

 (D-N.Y.) to take procedural steps to confirm individuals who would likely easily pass by voice vote.

The move comes as Blinken faced heated criticism from members on both sides of the aisle during a Senate Committee on Foreign Relations hearing, where politicians grilled the secretary on an array of missteps that critics argue alienated US allies, weakened the country’s ability to gather intel from adversaries in the region and potentially heighten the risk of an attack on the homeland.
