Kennedy: Afghanistan a 'Tattoo' on Biden,

America — 'Mona Lisa of Incompetence’

During a Tuesday appearance on FNC's “Fox & Friends,” Sen. John Kennedy

(R-LA) offered his criticism of President Joe Biden's mismanagement of the
U.S. troops' withdrawal out of Afghanistan. Kennedy described the withdrawal,

which left behind an estimated 100-200 Americans, U.S. military equipment, and
Afghan allies in the Taliban-led country, as “the Mona Lisa of incompetence.”

He said Biden's handling of Afghanistan would leave a “tattoo” on the president
and the United States.
