Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) gave President Biden some advice on the “proper response” to threats from the Taliban, saying it should be “Go f*** yourself.”
Crenshaw’s statement was in response to the Taliban threatening the United States on Monday after Biden signaled that U.S. troops might continue evacuations beyond August 31st.
“The only proper response from America to these dirty savage terrorists should be: Go f*** yourself,” Crenshaw tweeted.

On Sunday, Biden announced that U.S. troops may stay in Afghanistan beyond August 31st if evacuations of Americans are not complete.
“There’s discussions going on among us and the military about extending. Our hope is we will not have to extend, but there are going to be discussions, I suspect, on how far along we are in the process,” Biden said. “We discussed a lot with the Taliban. They’ve been cooperative in extending some of the perimeter.”
“So far the Taliban has not taken action against U.S. forces. So far they have, by and large, followed through on what they said in terms of Americans to pass through, and the like. And I’m sure they don’t control all of their forces. It’s a rag tag force,” he added.
In response, Taliban spokesman Dr. Suhail Shaheen said that the United States would not be allowed to continue evacuations past the end of the month “or there would be consequences.”
“It’s a red line. President Biden announced that on 31 August they would withdraw all their military forces. So if they extend it that means they are extending occupation while there is no need for that. … If the U.S. or UK were to seek additional time to continue evacuations — the answer is no. Or there would be consequences,” Shaheen said.
“It will create mistrust between us. If they are intent on continuing the occupation, it will provoke a reaction,” he added.
