The last US evacuation flight has left Kabul, marking a bitter end to US' longest war, and Republicans are hitting President Biden for pulling out one day ahead of his self-prescribed deadline.
Many decried the hundreds of Americans left behind, and some renewed calls for the president to step down.
'The Afghanistan war is not over. Joe Biden decided to quit and leave our citizens and allies behind,' Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., wrote on Twitter after Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, head of US Central Command, broke the news.
Witnesses in Kabul said the Taliban let off celebratory gunfire as news circulated that the final U.S. flight had left.
President Biden managed to meet his August 31 deadline and American personnel are now free from danger, but 38 million Afghans are at the mercy of the Taliban and over 170 are dead from last week's suicide bombing, including 13 American troops.
On Sunday,President Biden traveled to Dover, Delaware to watch the remains of the troops that were killed in the attack arrive back home.
13 US troops were killed in a suicide bombing last week outside Kabul airport as the US tried to complete its withdrawal
'How many Americans were left behind?' House Republicans wrote on Twitter.
'Shameful. ThePresident better move heaven and earth to get every last American home safely,' Rep. Rodney Davis, R-Ill., wrote on Twitter.
McKenzie said that less than 250 Americans were left behind, adding that some of those tried but could not make it for the final departing evacuation flights.
Rep. Jody Hice, R-Ga., hit Biden for pulling out 'before the deadline' and called for the president to be impeached.
'President Biden withdrew from #Afghanistan BEFORE THE DEADLINE — abandoning American citizens still on the ground desperately needing evacuation! IF BIDEN REFUSES TO RESIGN, HE MUST BE IMPEACHED! This is an absolute disgrace!'
'@potus left Americans and our Afghan allies behind. Completely unforgivable. He must resign,' said Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla.
