While, US Republican senator Ted Cruz shared the video on Twitter and pointed out that 'Taliban are brutal terrorists. and US left them millions in military equipment, including Black Hawk helicopters.'

"It turns out the post I shared w/ a video of Taliban “hanging a man” from a helicopter may be inaccurate. So I deleted the tweet. What remains accurate is: - The Taliban are brutal terrorists. - We left them millions in US military equipment, including Black Hawk helicopters." The politician had retweeted the video shared by another account. 

Meanwhile, President Joe Biden announced on Tuesday that US has effectively ended its longest war in Afghanistan. The final US evacuation plane flew out of Kabul airport amidst celebratory gunfire from the Taliban on Monday midnight, a day ahead of schedule, ending a 20-year war that left nearly 2,500 American troops dead.
