As the situation in Afghanistan continues to evolve, local and state lawmakers are weighing in on the ongoing exit.
Republican Senator Pat Toomey says the decision to rapidly withdraw forces from Afghanistan has created a humanitarian disaster and that all Americans and Afghans who helped the U.S. need safely evacuated.
Democratic Senator Bob Casey meanwhile echoed similar sentiments in regards to a safe evacuation, but also said now is not the time for fingerpointing.
Congressman Mike Kelly of Butler says he agrees that American troops needed to come home, but that President Joe Biden carried out the withdrawal irresponsibly.
