Exclusive — Larry Elder: Yesterday Was ‘One of the Worst Days in American History’

Thursday was “one of the worst days in American history,” Larry Elder, talk radio host and Republican candidate for governor of California in the state’s special election, said in reference to the suicide bombing attacks in Kabul, Afghanistan, in which at least 12 U.S. military personnel were killed.

“It’s a very, very sad day,” Elder remarked. “One of the worst days in American history, and I must say the roots of this are this talking point that I’ve heard from people on the left and on the right that we need to end these quote — endless wars — close quote. I’ve heard Republicans say that. I’ve heard Democrats say that. We’ll end endless wars when we end endless enemies.”

He added, “The only prominent political figure [in California] who’s endorsed what Joe Biden has done is my opponent Gavin Newsom, which tells you a whole lot about his mindset. … This man doubles down on what Joe Biden has done in Afghanistan, and the media has not crucified him. He said [he respects] Joe Biden’s judgment about Afghanistan.”
