BREAKING: Democrat Cait Conley was Key Architect of Biden’s Botched Afghanistan Withdrawal
A bombshell report reveals that out of touch Democrat Cait Conley was a key architect of Joe Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan that left 13 U.S. service members dead.
The report details that the National Security Council, where Conley served in a senior position, “played an outsized role in the decision-making process leading up to the withdrawal.”
And Conley is desperately trying to hide from her failures, as she “did not respond to multiple requests for comment.”

Cait Conley, a Democrat seeking to unseat Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., in a battleground district, previously served in a senior position on former President Joe Biden’s National Security Council focusing on counterterrorism in the Middle East.
Conley has sought to elevate her profile in a crowded Democratic primary by highlighting how Russia banned her from the country for her work under Biden, and she’s used campaign materials to lean into how she operated from the White House Situation Room.
But she has been largely silent on Biden’s controversial evacuation of troops from Afghanistan in August 2021, which coincided with her time on the NSC.
The chaotic and violent exit led to the deaths of 13 U.S. service members and more than 160 Afghans in a terrorist attack outside the Kabul airport during the final days of the military departure. Hundreds of American citizens were left behind as the Taliban returned to power.
Though Conley’s responsibilities at the NSC have not been publicly detailed, her position would have likely landed her in meetings about the planning and execution of the evacuation. Several Biden administration officials testified during the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s probe that the NSC and then-national security advisor Jake Sullivan played an outsized role in the decision-making process leading up to the withdrawal.

A spokesperson for the Conley campaign did not respond to multiple requests for comment seeking clarification on her involvement in, and view of, the withdrawal decision and plans.

The National Republican Congressional Committee, House Republicans’ campaign arm, argued that Conley’s ties to the withdrawal are disqualifying.
“She can’t be trusted to keep New Yorkers safe either,” NRCC spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “It’s just that simple.”
