A former Pennsylvania state senator told Fox News on Wednesday that he has put up about 15 local billboards with a photo of President Biden with military equipment next to the message “Making the Taliban big again.”
Scott Wagner, a Republican who represented a district that includes York County from 2014 to 2018, said in an email that he has “several reasons” to share the message in Pennsylvania.
“The hasty withdrawal by President Biden had made us the laughing stock of the world,” he wrote. “The Taliban openly claim that they fled the United States from Afghanistan. They are now very excited.”
Billboards published in Pennsylvania criticized President Biden.

Wagner added that the freedoms “that young people have experienced since we landed in their country will be withdrawn now that the Taliban control.”
He also said he has met with hundreds of veterans during his time in the Pennsylvania state Senate.

“What do we say to families who lost their loved ones in the Middle East? The country that these people served and died left Afghanistan with its tail between its legs,” he told Fox News. “It looks like President Biden was determined to run away from Afghanistan; his ego and lack of information will turn out to be very bad for the United States.”
Wagner says the billboards will be up for two months.
