Sharing a photo of Biden with his head bowed, Morgan accused the American president of “shocking moral cowardice” with regard to his administration’s hasty exit from Afghanistan and the ensuing Taliban takeover.

“Let’s be clear: President Biden has committed an act of shocking moral cowardice in Afghanistan that shames America & should horrify anyone who has an ounce of humanity in their heart,” Morgan began.

“This picture sums it up — he knows what he’s done & he knows it will destroy his presidency,” Morgan added.
Morgan was not Biden’s only critic from across the pond. Afghanistan veteran and Member of Parliament Tom Tugendhat said that it was “shameful” for the American Commander in Chief to “call into question the courage of men I fought with, to say that they ran.”

British Parliament followed by holding Biden in contempt, saying this failure to realize that Afghanistan was on the brink of collapse was “catastrophic” and “shameful.”
