I am going to treat this as would a former congressman approach when a constituent is in trouble.
The U.S.-Japan relationship is the cornerstone for peace and prosperity in the entire Indo-Pacific region.
This is a terrible message to send to the rest of the world.
We need to maintain it. We need to strengthen it.
I can confidently say this, that anything we do in an environment like we have right now where the threat is escalating,...
What we have witnessed here has been a failure of leadership.
The lack of accountability here, the lack of accountability in this Administration is shocking to me.
There must be accountability.
Our reputation as a nation, I think, has been put at risk as a result of the failed evacuation here.
My constituents expect that sort of accountability as well.
We have a very significant failure that is taking place here, a failure of global proportion.
