NEW: Rep. Gosar statement on Ocasio-Cortez tweet and more:
"Congresswoman Cortez, whose image is shown in the fictional anime, represents the Democrats’ open border amnesty agenda included in the Build Back Better Plan. As a proud member of the open border caucus, she continues to defend and fight for these dangerous, immigr. policies"
"By her own words, Congresswoman Cortez referred to the Customs and Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement as “rogue agencies that act to inflict harm on our communities” and sought to defund these agencies..."
"President Biden’s vaccine and testing mandate far exceeds the authority granted to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) by Congress," Rep. Tenney said in a statement.
"Like President Biden’s extension of the CDC’s eviction moratorium earlier this year, this mandate is yet another attempt by the Administration to skirt the law and do through government coercion what it is failing to do through persuasion," Rep. Tenney added.
"America faces a great division coming into this era of unspeakable grief as we look upon the failure of our executive branch to execute a well-planned withdrawal of American forces, citizens, allies, and weaponry in Afghanistan," Rep. Higgins said in a statement.
"This administration has abandoned its oath to the American people, and it is the right thing to do for President Biden, Secretary Austin, and Chairman Milley to step down," Rep. Higgins continued.

INBOX Sen. Ben Sasse: "This national disgrace is the direct result of President Biden’s cowardice and incompetence. The President made the decision to trust the Taliban. The President made the decision to set an arbitrary August 31st deadline..."
"The President made the decision to abandon Bagram Air Base. The President made the decision not to expand the perimeter around Karzai International Airport. The President made the decision to undermine our NATO allies...," Sasse continued.
"The President made the decision to break our word to our Afghan partners. The President made the decision to tell one lie after another as the crisis unfolded. The President made the morally indefensible decision to leave Americans behind. Dishonor was the President’s choice..."
