SEN. JONI ERNST LEADS SENATORS IN ASKING BLINKEN TO DESIGNATE TALIBAN AS FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION

SEN. JONI ERNST: We know that many of those that were in held in Guantanamo, those that were traded, those prisoners that were traded for Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl, many of them are serving now in this Afghan Taliban government. They are harboring other violent extremist organizations, those organizations that want to do bad things to the United State of America.
