Fox News obtained a photo Monday of the U.S. Embassy flag reportedly being flown out of Kabul, Afghanistan, in the arms of what appeared to be a member of the military.
The embassy located in the Afghan capital shut down Sunday after reports officials there were working to destroy sensitive documents and equipment prior to the Talibanâs arrival, the outlet reported.
âMoment American flag is saved from Taliban terror groupâs destruction captured in heartbreaking photo,â the text beside the image read:
Several Facebook users took the opportunity to slam President Joe Bidenâs handling of the dire situation in Afghanistan.
âBiden is a failure! If not, clueless!â one person commented.
âBiden Administration has got to go,â another wrote.
The presidentâs job approval dropped on Monday and is âcurrently underwaterâ matching his all-time low days after the Talibanâs takeover of the U.S.-backed Afghan government, Breitbart News reported:
According to data from Rasmussen Reports, Bidenâs approval fell to 46 percent on Monday â three points down from 49 percent one week ago, on August 9. Of those, 26 percent âstronglyâ approve. Fifty-three percent disapprove of his performance, and of those, the vast majority, 43 percent, âstronglyâ disapprove.
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) slammed Biden on Monday for his response to the situation in Afghanistan after the Taliban seized the country.
âJust as President Biden has failed our country on COVID [Chinese coronavirus], at the border and economically â he has failed in Afghanistan. Since he was on vacation, I donât know if he even noticed. We did,â Gaetz noted in a statement.
Meanwhile, President Biden will return to the White House Monday, according to his staff, to publicly address the Talibanâs takeover in Afghanistan.
âThe president resisted making a public appearance on camera over the weekend as the Taliban swept into Kabul, leaving Americans and Afghan allies flooding the airport seeking evacuation,â according to Breitbart News.
