One year since Golden laughed off the Taliban takeover

August 17, 2022

Today marks one year since Jared Golden brushed off the Taliban takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Kabul.

Golden infamously laughed when asked for his reaction to the terrorist organization occupying the Embassy on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 saying, “It’s a building. It’s a building.”

NRCC Comment: “Jared Golden’s tone-deaf response to Joe Biden’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal set the tone for a long year of Golden bowing to his party bosses’ reckless and disastrous agenda that’s harming Mainers.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Samantha Bullock
