Florida Politics reports:
The bombing of a Kabul airport during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 drew instant condemnation. Now a Florida Congressman is suggesting Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin should be impeached as a consequence.
U.S. Rep. Cory Mills, a Winter Park Republican, drafted the impeachment papers. At a House Armed Services Committee hearing, Mills presented the papers to Austin and said he believed the Cabinet official guilty of “willful dereliction of duty.”
In a statement, Mills said Americans killed during the withdrawal deserve justice. “When we had the chance, our leadership blew it,” Mills said in the statement.

Mills, a freshman, first appeared on JMG in May 2022 when he threatened with attack journalists with the same tear gas that was used against Black Lives Matter protesters. Mills’ company makes that tear gas as well as well as hand grenades, inert versions of which he handed out to House reps earlier this year.

As the only sitting member of Congress who saw this botched withdrawal in person, today I presented the Secretary of Defense with articles of impeachment.
