A former Democrat and military veteran appeared on Fox Business Thursday and said President Joe Biden’s disrespect made her leave the Democratic Party.
Biden faced criticisms for his leadership during the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021. During an appearance on “The Bottom Line,” Jessica Dominguez recalled what she said were Biden’s actions during the return of fallen soldiers.
“He was looking at his watch when my brothers and sisters in arms had passed away in Afghanistan during the absolute trashed debacle they had. And I just, I couldn’t stop imagining him doing that,” Dominguez said.
Dominguez served in the U.S. military. She said she became disillusioned by the Biden administration and its disrespect and systemic failures.
“It’s a disgrace what he’s done to this country. It’s a disgrace what he’s done to our service members, service members like myself, who love this country, who came from another country,” Dominguez said. “I was born in Mexico, came here and served my country and had the heavy hand of the federal government come after us to take the COVID-19 vaccine. A lot of service members like myself were reprimanded and pushed out of the military.”
Dominguez said the Biden administration left her with “a very sour taste” in her mouth.
Despite her grievances with Biden, Hernandez said she feels optimistic about President-elect Donald Trump’s leadership and looks forward to his return to the White House.
In 2020, the Trump administration negotiated a settlement to reduce U.S. troop presence in Afghanistan, contingent upon the militia adhering to stringent conditions and not engaging in terrorism. Biden completed the withdrawal of remaining U.S. forces in August 2021, a tumultuous process that culminated in the deaths of 13 service members at the Kabul airport.
Biden denied allegations that his military advisors recommended not to withdraw. This, despite inconsistencies with the administration’s statements. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki confirmed in April, for instance, that military leaders did recommend maintaining a 2,500-strong presence. Biden said, however, that none suggested such a strategy.
