One U.S. official ignited a firestorm after she suggested in a since-deleted tweet that Afghan girls and women<\/a> need a “movement” similar to “Black Girl Magic” as they remain starved of even their basic rights under Taliban leadership.\u00a0<\/p>\n

United States Charg\u00e9 d\u2019Affaires of the U.S. Mission to Afghanistan Karen B. Decker tweeted Wednesday, “Are Afghans familiar with #BlackGirlMagic and the movement it inspired? Do Afghan girls need a similar movement? What about Afghan Women?”<\/p>\n

“Teach me, ready to learn. @Beyonce @lizzo @ReginaKing,” it read.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The tweet, which was deleted, was widely criticized for being tone-deaf, as women in the country endure sweeping oppression under Taliban rule.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“And they said the adults were back in charge,” Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said in response.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“What an embarrassment,” Sen. Tom Cotton,<\/a> R-Ark., wrote. “And a perfect example of the Biden Administration prioritizing wokeness over competence.”<\/p>\n

“This is unfortunately not a parody account,” Rep. Dan Bishop, R-N.C., said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another user, communications director for Rep. Rich McCormick, R-Ga., said, “This is so cringe we\u2019re going to have to apologize to the Taliban.”<\/p>\n

“Beyond parody. It would be funny if it wasn\u2019t so sad,” Christina Pushaw, an aide to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, R, wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Decker’s comments come a year and a half after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan<\/a> prompted the mass exodus of Americans, U.S. allies, and vulnerable Afghan refugees from the Taliban-controlled state.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Women, since the U.S. withdrawal, have faced an uphill battle to maintain their basic human rights while being treated as second-class citizens, despite the Taliban initially assuring the world otherwise.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Taliban have banned women and girls from attending universities, barring them from receiving secondary education among various other restrictions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Foreign minsters from the U.S. and allies such as Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, among others, condemned the Taliban for its curtailment of basic freedoms for women and girls<\/a> in a joint statement in December.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The Taliban have issued no fewer than 16 decrees and edicts that, among other things, constrain women\u2019s mobility, remove women from places of work, require head-to-toe coverings for women, ban women from using public spaces such as parks and gyms and leave widows and women-headed households in dire circumstances by the requirement of male guardianship,” the statement read<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Secretary of State Ned Price was asked about Decker’s remarks during a press briefing on Wednesday. He said her comments had not been cleared with the State Department when she published the tweet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The messaging in this context is rather inappropriate and ineffective,” Price said during a briefing on Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
