This study is investigating the use of irony in the congressional members’ speeches during the testimony of Sec. Antony Blinken on the withdrawal from Afghanistan. This research aims to determine the most frequent forms and functions of irony used by Republican and Democratic members. The data for this inquiry was derived from the session of the members of Congress on September 13, 2021. A descriptive qualitative approach was used in this investigation in order to get an in-depth explanation of the data. An eclectic model, in this study, is adapted, with the help of pretense and implicit display, to fit the needs of this study. The results revealed that the most pragmatic strategy used by Republican members is rhetorical questions, and the main function behind their use of irony is to blame Biden’s administration and persuade the other members that what Biden did during the withdrawal is wrong.
