Stefanik: Pelosi Blocked GOP Members From Asking U.S. Officials About Military Situation In Afghanistan
Daily Wire ^ | August 15, 2021 | Daily Wire News

Posted on 08/16/2021 3:36:40 AM PDT by gattaca

US Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, Democrat of California, speaks during her weekly press briefing on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, on August 6, 2021.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), the third-highest ranking Republican in the House, alleged on Sunday that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) blocked her and other Republican members from asking top U.S. officials about the unfolding disaster in Afghanistan.

“On this morning’s bipartisan conference call regarding Afghanistan with Secretaries Austin, Blinken, and Chairman Milley, Authoritarian Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi blocked me and multiple Republican Members from asking questions and lied and said, ‘there were no further questions in the queue,'” Stefanik said in a statement. “I sit on the House Armed Services Committee, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and represent the 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum, the most deployed US Army division since 9/11.”

“I have led and participated in multiple bipartisan delegations to Afghanistan,” Stefanik added. “This Lame Duck Authoritarian Speaker of the House is shielding a feckless, weak, and failed Commander in Chief and his Administration. Nancy knows that this is Joe Biden’s Saigon.”

Stefanik said that she wanted to ask the following four questions:

How many U.S. citizens do we have left to evacuate? When will that mission be completed?

Afghan Security Forces had best military equipment and capabilities possible, what is U.S. military and intelligence assessment of Taliban now having operational control of those assets and capabilities?

There is reporting that U.S. is paying vast sums of cash to Taliban in exchange for allowing the evacuation to proceed. Is this true?

What steps are being taken to ensure the billions of reserves in the Afghanistan Bank are not accessed by the Taliban?

Pelosi’s son, like the first Pedo and the Afghanis,
LOVE little girls (although the Afphanis are
disgusted that Pelosi and Xiden tape them up and
to the floor for THEIR minor rapes
(totally acceptable to the DO”J” including taping such)).

the press won’t be getting questions answered either - Jan Psaki is on vacation until Wednesday - the same day Beijing Biden is supposed to be fully reanimated

Pelosi should be forced to resign also before this is all over.

Personally, I suspect that Pelosi was very influential, possibly even the main influence, in Biden’s Afghan “policy.”

She has been obsessed with undoing everything Trump did (and she’s been pretty successful) and I think Afghanistan was just next on her list. She needs to be publicly held responsible for it, right alongside of Biden, Blinken, and Milley.

But everybody in DC is afraid of Nancy.

Nanzi Pelousy is evil and, obviously, doesn’t give a darn about the people she swore to represent. She is a ruler, not a legislator. She needs to go, today.

Just like she blocked them from finding anything out about the Political Prisoners in the D.C. ‘Black Site’ rendition center from Jan 6.

I read a great comment on Twitter - Stupid Party needs to use its House Committees in 2023 to go after Rat DONORS. The big and dark-money variety. Subpoena and investigate until somebody squeals on Pelousy, Schiff and the other criminals.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY),

She is nailing it, where are the rest of the House GOP? I heard Liz Cheney with Gayle King (who is back from Obama's super spreader Bday bash) who is to blame, Cheney thanked her for the question and blamed Trump and Pompeo.

Nice line, I wish the rest of her conference would repeat it daily on the news.

The Republicans are good for something. Not much, but better than the dems.
