Biden 'Making Taliban Great Again' Billboards Pop Up in State Biden Won

If the Biden administration had hoped that media coverage of its disastrous exit from Afghanistan would fade someday soon, new billboards gracing the highways in fundamental Pennsylvania say otherwise.

According to USA Today, Scott Wagner, a Republican former Pennsylvania state senator and 2022 gubernatorial candidate paid for the signs, which show a smiling President Joe Biden dressed in Taliban armed services garb belongings a rocket launcher with the caption: "Making the Taliban Great Again!"

And they've gotten plenty of attention.

According to the York Daily Record, Wagner purchased the signs for $15,000 through Trone Outdoor Advertising.

Wagner told the media outlet he blames Biden for the situation in Afghanistan which he sees as "an accented mess and a tragedy."

He was especially concerned about $85 billion of U.S. war machine vehicles and equipment left behind. He said, "I was watching an evening news bear witness one dark and saw the Taliban in American personnel carriers."

"It's like Vietnam, even worse," he added.

Asked for a annotate by WHTM News 27 in Harrisburg — the Pennsylvania majuscule — Wagner replied: "I saw the image [of Joe Biden]. I got it from a friend a few weeks agone. The film tells the story.

"We pulled out of Afghanistan besides quickly, and nosotros left then much of American equipment. Joe Biden has made us await like a fool. I feel then bad, words can't describe what I would say to someone who was wounded or someone's family who had a soldier laissez passer abroad in the country after all this happened."

Pennsylvania Department of Transportation spokesman Fritzi Schreffler responded to a WHTM enquiry in a statement that read: "The Department permits such outdoor advertizement to private entities through an application process, jump by law and regulation. Specifically, the Outdoor Advert Command Act of 1971 (Federal Law) and Title 67, PA Code, Chapter 445 (PA Democracy Regulation) do non regulate or control billboard advert content. Generally, advert content is protected by the Get-go Subpoena under the US Constitution.

"Therefore, if the advertisement message is legal per Country or Federal laws and regulations, recourse is not warranted. While we understand the message on the Interstate 83 billboard may be unpleasant to some, it is our agreement that the bulletin is legal. As such, the Department has no basis to crave this message be changed."

According to PennLive, the billboards have been placed along "the Pennsylvania Turnpike, Interstate 83, and Routes 322, 11-15, and 15."

They've have created quite a stir in the Keystone State, which was one of the keys to Biden'due south still-questionable victory in the 2022 election.

Americans are angry nigh the Biden administration's handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan. This sorry episode should not and will not be forgotten. To use Biden's famous remark to one-time President Barack Obama after the passage of Obamacare in 2010, "This is a big f***ing deal."

Do you expect the country to meet more of this anti-Biden activism in the years ahead?

The fall of Kabul to the Taliban was a tipping point in U.S. history. In a rare moment of responsibility (with some exceptions), the mainstream media actually committed journalism. At that place really was no pick.

I would go so far as to say it contradistinct the balance of power in the globe. The biggest winners are the Taliban and China. The biggest loser, obviously, is the U.s.a., the country Biden is supposed to be leading.

In addition to our nation's diminished condition on the world phase, the Biden administration's many missteps left thirteen U.S. service members and at least 170 Afghans dead. The Biden Pentagon's "retaliation strike" against the terrorist group ISIS-Thou ended in the deaths of 10 innocent Afghan civilians including seven children.

I promise to see more billboards highlighting our current president's profound stupidity popular up across the nation. Biden and his entire administration deserve to be humiliated.

Republicans must continue this messaging as the country moves closer to the 2022 midterms and into the 2024 presidential race.

I suppose the argent lining to the Afghanistan crisis and all of this administration's other destructive policies is that information technology will (at least it should) deliver a blow to the progressive cause for years to come up.
