The Taliban are holding American citizens in Afghanistan in order to extort the United States. This is a hostage situation. We have to show the Taliban that we will not allow them to terrorize US citizens. Thank you ⁦@JonScottFNC⁩ for having me on. https://t.co/dzDTD4TGfL — PolitiTweet.org

The August Jobs Report: ➡️ Too few jobs created. ➡️ Too many jobs lost. ➡️ Millions remain unemployed. 🚨 8 months in, and this is the worst jobs report of Joe Biden’s presidency. This is now an economic crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

As part of this year’s NDAA, I also helped to secure almost $100 million for Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren in Virginia’s First District. This funding will be used to expand high powered electric weapons research and cyber capabilities for the United States Navy. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

During yesterday’s NDAA markup, @HASCRepublicans and I secured 6 additional ships, on top of the previously planned 7, as well as retained 3 cruisers. The construction, maintenance, and repair of these ships will bring new jobs and economic growth to the Commonwealth of Virginia — PolitiTweet.org

By adopting an amendment to increase the NDAA topline budget, @HASCRepublicans have paved the way for an additional 12 ships, and I hope to add another. This is a huge win for the United States Navy, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the United States of America. — PolitiTweet.org

President Biden's budget would cut defense spending -as a percentage of our economy- to the lowest level in 80 years. I'm proud to join my colleagues on @HASCRepublicans in support of a defense budget topline amendment which will meet the demands of our National Defense Strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

The debacle in Afghanistan has emboldened our near-peer rivals, such as China and Russia. Now more than ever, we need a military strong enough to secure peace through deterrence. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

Last month, the United States was expected to add 613,000 jobs. We only added 374,000. It's time we stop stunting our economic recovery. You deserve an economy that is pro-family, pro-growth, and, most of all, pro-American. https://t.co/oLLZ1Ym6wc — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

After President Biden's botched withdrawal, the United States is in worse position today than we were prior to 9/11. Thanks @dagenmcdowell for having me on @MorningsMaria to discuss why. If you missed me this morning, just follow the link below! https://t.co/9Q6HmQhDVh — PolitiTweet.org

In President Biden’s own words, we were able to get 90% of Americans out of Afghanistan. How does he consider leaving 10% of Americans behind a success? — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

If President Biden is serious about meeting the threats of China and Russia, then why did he refuse to request the funding necessary to meet the requirement of the National Defense Strategy? — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

These valiant men and women nobly gave their lives to protect American and Afghan civilians from the brutality of the Taliban. Their sacrifice deserve recognition and I am proud to cosponsor this bill to honor them. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

President Biden kept his promise to the Taliban. He broke his promise to evacuate every American. — PolitiTweet.org
