State Dept trying to steal credit for Afghanistan rescue, organizer says: ‘Total lie

The organizer of a private mission to rescue an American mom, Mariam, and her three children from Afghanistan says the US State Department is now trying to insert itself into the story of her evacuation, despite playing little to no role for much of the rescue effort.

Senior State Department officials on Monday announced that the “U.S. has facilitated the safe departure of four US citizens by overland route from Afghanistan. Embassy staff was present upon their arrival.”

But those actually involved in the dangerous rescue operation say the State Department deserves little to no credit for Mariam’s escape from Afghanistan.

Cory Mills and a private team of military veterans, drawing on funding by private donors including the Sentinel Foundation, led the effort to rescue Mariam and her three children from Afghanistan, where they had been left behind by the Biden administration, multiple sources with knowledge of Mariam’s evacuation confirmed to Fox News.

Who is this “Miriam” and why does she have three children in Afghanistan. Her loyalties seem suspect.

The same State Department that’s impeding these rescue efforts?

History will be very unkind to Merrick Garland, to put it very mildly.

Photos at the story. Yeah, it’s an Afghan “American” and three whelps. Goes to Kabul to visit family for the summer apparently.
Because you know, refugees often like to summer in the country they fled.

Don't forget the tense situation at the checkpoint as Cornpop interrogated them.

"Her loyalties seem suspect."

It would seem that at least HALF of the people that work in our federal government have "loyalties" that are suspect.... :(

Not in the form “Mariam” (see the article). That would be like calling “Ibrahim” a Jewish name.

If Republican Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson calls them his constituents, that’s good enough for me. Some of you need to take a breath.

The State Dept. will suddenly fall silent, and deny any knowledge or connection to the absurd idiotic “biggest evacuation airlift in history”, when the video beheadings go viral. They will have no comment. But we will.
