Sabatini: Biden's Deadly Evacuation Hangs over 9/11 Remembrance

U.S. congressional candidate and state Rep. Anthony Sabatini (R) on Saturday told Breitbart News that President Biden’s deadly withdrawal hangs over Saturday’s September 11 remembrance.

Sabatini, who joined the Florida National Guard at age 19 and is still serving 13 years later, told host Matthew Boyle on Breitbart News Saturday this 9/11 weekend “is one of the saddest of all my September 11 anniversaries because we have this very fresh and horrific memory of the lives lost just a couple of weeks ago in Afghanistan,” Sabatini said in reference to the 13 U.S. troops killed by a suicide bomber outside the Kabul airport.

“Due to this administration,” Sabatini continued, “it’s simply just not a normal 9/11 remembrance day and it’s sad to view it in that lens. This is the first president that really is putting us in a position where it looks like we might be actually worse off based on his withdrawal. [The deadly evacuation] doesn’t inspire confidence in what we are doing in terms of foreign policy or domestic policy.”

Sabatini also told Boyle he will call for a congressional commission to investigate Biden’s deadly Afghan evacuation for being more focused on identity politics instead of preparedness and planning.

“We need a congressional commission to investigate this withdraw and Biden’s decisions in the military. This is the first presidential administration that has privileged identity politics and political correctness more than military for preparedness and planning,” Sabatini pointed out. “There doesn’t seem to be any planning going on” to rescue the stranded Americans in Afghanistan.

The conversation then turned to Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-FL), Sabatini’s 2022 midterm opponent, and her reluctance to back Biden’s $3.5 trillion dollar trojan horse infrastructure plan, full of items such as expanding Medicare, amnesty, global warming initiatives, suburb displacement with low-income housing, subsidized housing, subsidized child care, and subsidized racial equity and environmental justice initiatives.

Sabatini called Murphy’s indecisiveness “conducting some kabuki theater” for “saying one thing and doing another.”

“Stephanie Murphy has a 100 percent identical voting record to Pelosi. You heard that right. Literally, 100 percent,” Sabatini noted. “Stephanie Murphy without fail, always delivers for Nancy Pelosi.”

Murphy “hasn’t differed from her [Pelosi] one time this year in this Congress on one single vote. So what she’s doing now is getting the rhetoric out, getting the media attention, saying that she’s a moderating influence on the party. But then of course she’ll fall right into line and vote for what I believe is actually quite literally one of the most destructive and harmful bills in the history of the country,” Sabatini explained. “It’s scary that that’s the position that she’s going to hold.”

Sabatini also described his type American worker-centric policies as “the America First policies,” based on “trade, immigration, stopping the endless wars.”

“It’s really the diametrically opposite of what Stephanie Murphy believes. She has a 100 percent voting record with Pelosi,” Sabatini reiterated, “which means one thing… you basically are getting the San Francisco California style policies.”

Before concluding the interview, Sabatini said people in Murphy’s district want change, pointing to Biden’s low polling numbers in the district. Indeed, Biden’s approval rating is massively underwater in several states nationwide heading into the 2022 midterm elections.
