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.”

I would like to know who they are, too. We know there were 24 Afghan anchor babies and their parents who went to Afghanistan to visit relatives. Are they still there?
We know there was a California born Afghan woman who went to Afghanistan to marry her Afghan boyfriend and is now pregnant. Anxious to get back here to drop her anchor baby. Is she still there?
What Americans are still there besides those who are Afghans and now are called Americans?
He just wanted to get a sound byte on the record.
From our point of view, yes. However, if they could still hold on to power, they’ll tolerate his replacement whether they like her or not.
It’s almost encouraging to know that even democrats have a line they won’t cross.
“
One would hope there is some decency and patriotism left with some Democrats and Republicans.
I think there is.
People on both sides are deeply angry about Biden abandoning Americans.
We don’t do that.
We had a rep like that here in Indiana, Julia Carson.
She was fading, but that didn’t stop them from wheeling her into the chamber for votes.
She finally croaked and her muslim grandson took over the seat.
Senator slimy Stolen Valor must be seeing bad polling
even in CT.
Otherwise he wouldn’t stick his scrawny neck out.
What about the pregnant girl born in California?
Most likely a private group is doing this and Blumenthal is busy taking credit. Pretty sure when he blames the gov’t he means Trump.
“He must be seeing polling and focus group numbers telling him to throw Bidet overboard”
Yes, I’m expecting a big pile-on soon. This is an open sore and is not going away.
DaNang Dick will eventually get around to blaming Trump for the Afghan fiasco. Party politics all the time with the commies.
What do you mean ‘’our government’’? YOU”RE the government you nitwit! You’re a Democrat you bastard. You hated Trump and wanted this vegetable in The White House.
Hey Dumahs, who did you vote for?
That is the question.
Are they Afghan’s that told the US government that their home country was too dangerous for them so they should be given refugee status in the US?
And of course, when no one is looking, go back to that oh so scary place to visit friends and family.
Kind of like the Somalians that are afraid to live in Somalia, end up in Minneapolis, and vacation back home.
The suspicious side of me wonders if this is an intentional distraction to blame the delay on the US government rather than let this become an Islamic terrorist hostage situation. Better it be inept nameless government officials instead of Islamic Cult Terrorist Taliban wanting US recognition of their ‘government’.
Too late. Bloomie...you got him elected. I still cling to my delusion that this is all choreographed. Get rid of biden...put harris in...harris chooses hillary as vp....harris self destructs politically...hillary becomes president after Harris casts deciding vote in senate. The hr will go for hillary along party and rino lines. Ya’ mean...bloomie, didn’t know old joe was senile? C’mon man...
I meant hill becomes vp after deciding vote in senate is cast by harris...then harris abdicates....just a delusion...mind you.
The next 20 in line would only enact a more severe agenda at a more rapid pace.
Better to keep the inept highly visible to promote change at the voting booth.

It’s midterm politics. Dems know they will never lose their base over Afghanistan and can afford a few shots at Biden here. They are worried about losing mushy middle suburban votes I would guess.
