McCarthy: 'There will be a day of reckoning' for Biden after troop deaths in Afghanistan

House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy said Friday that there will be a "day of reckoning" for President Biden after 13 U.S. troops died and 15 were wounded as a result of terrorist bombings in Afghanistan.

The California Republican said there were more U.S. troop deaths Thursday than any other single day over the last 10 years in Afghanistan. There have also been 169 Afghan casualties in the Thursday bombings reported.

McCarthy, the top of Republican in the House, argued that Biden lost "the faith, the trust and the confidence of the American public" over his handling of the U.S. troop withdrawal in Afghanistan that resulted in 27 U.S. casualties.

"President Biden lost that yesterday," he said at a news conference. "There will be a day of reckoning. We have constitutional rights. Right now, in the next five days, everyone's responsibility should only be focused on getting the Americans out, that is what we should focus on.
