A “furious” Democrat Senator Richard Blumenthal (CT) released a statement Monday on his behind the scenes efforts to help evacuate stranded Americans and Afghans from Afghanistan, blasting the Biden administration for “delay and inaction.”
...... Snip......
Blumenthal demanded the White House and State Department “do everything in their power” to facilitate the evacuation from Afghanistan and arrival at the U.S. base in Doha, Qatar.
“My staff and I have worked night and day to secure the safe passage of two planes waiting in Mazar-e-Sharif to take American citizens, at-risk Afghan allies, and their families to safety. My office joined forces in this humanitarian mission with an incredible coalition of advocates – NGOs, former servicemembers, and journalists – to try and evacuate our fellow citizens and Afghan allies. I haven’t yet spoken publicly about these efforts because we were worried that heightened attention would only escalate tensions and put these people at greater risk of being targeted.
“I have been deeply frustrated, even furious, at our government’s delay and inaction. There will be plenty of time to seek accountability for the inexcusable bureaucratic red tape that stranded so many of our Afghan allies. For now, my singular focus remains getting these planes in the air and safely to our airbase in Doha, where they have already been cleared to land. I expect the White House and State Department to do everything in their power – absolutely everything – to make this happen. These are Americans citizens and Afghans who risked everything for our country. We cannot leave them behind.”

Blumenthal left no one behind when he was in ‘Nam.
Dissension within the ranks.
It’s almost encouraging to know that even democrats have a line they won’t cross.
He’ll be brought back into line soon enough...
It’s sad that this happens so rarely it’s breaking news. Our side never hesitates to criticize our own.
What American citizens?
Really would be nice if someone could clarify who these people really are.
On a side note, maybe the Senator can dust off some of his sharply honed combat skills, from his time in Vietnam, and save them. Rambo did it.
Blumenthal is part and parcel of the incompetence and evil in this.
Danang Dick?
If he says it, it’s probably a lie.
Whats Feinstein got to say...oh yeah..she is probably comatose in a wheelchair right now
Before salivating like one of Pavlov’s dogs, we should know more about these “Americans” - who they are, where they are from, what is their connection to Afghanistan, why were they there, why did they stay, etc, etc.
They could care less. They do nothing without permission or without some ulterior motive. Maybe this is about getting rid of CornPop. Maybe something else. The Left reads from a script.
Why shouldn’t the dems turn on Biden? They would still have the WH and Congress if Biden was removed.
Delay and inaction????
He caused the entire crisis and will never be able to wash the blood off his hands.
Don’t worry Biden sent Blinken and tons of money to handle it ,D’oh
Come on man, Biden saved at least as many Americans in Afghanistan as Bloomy did in Vietnam!!
Do not trust him or his faggy lip side kick Murphy.
They both are scum
I’m pretty sure that’s what I said.
No one has any idea who these “Americans” are.
I’d like to know. Until then, I don’t really care.
Because she’s even worse.
Blumenthal is the scummiest of the slimy Democrats.
He must be seeing polling and focus group numbers telling him to throw Bidet overboard.
Is he auditioning for Kamala’s VP pick?
