Biden Administration Continues To Tell Fleeing Americans To Pay Their Way Out Of Afghanistan, Hours After Telling The Press Otherwise
Daily Caller ^ | August 19, 2021 | Andrew Kerr

he Biden administration continued to inform American citizens in Afghanistan as of Thursday evening they could have to pay more than $2,000 to board an evacuation flight out of the country, despite the State Department telling the press hours before that it had no intention of levying any such charges.

The U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan has stated in multiple security advisories since Monday that any U.S. citizen seeking to evacuate the country must complete an online form in order to secure their repatriation flight. “This form is the only way to communicate interest in flight options,” the embassy said in a security advisory Wednesday.

State Department spokesman Ned Price told the Daily Caller News Foundation and other news outlets late Thursday afternoon that the Biden administration has “no intention of seeking any reimbursement from those fleeing Afghanistan.”

However, the online form American citizens are directed to fill out to secure their evacuation from Afghanistan continued to state well into Thursday evening that they travelers will have to pay their own way out of the country.

About the only thing Dementia Joe is good at is how to steal elections.
Outside of that, he's screwed up every single thing he's touched, the border, immigration, covid, skyrocketing crime, inflation.....EVERYTHING.

What if your mobile device doesn’t connect to a network, or the battery is dead? Or if you don’t have any way to get online? What’s the plan for those Americans?

Maybe Americans should have been ordered out ahead of the pullout?

I am reminded of the US gov’t treatment of Ross Perot’s workers, and how he ended up contracting a rescue mission out of his pocket. He later paid Bush back for the treatment by entering the election.

"U.S. citizen seeking to evacuate the country must complete an online form in order to secure their repatriation flight." Just like these people had to do...

If they don’t have the cash, or their accounts are not accessible, or credit cards are not accepted, they will become slaves/forced converts to islam/dead.

The US government has abandoned US citizens and the entire democrat party doesn’t care.

The plane filled with 20 Americans and 800 Afghans...the one in all the pictures...

Does anyone know if those 800 were ON THE OFFICIAL LIST OF AFGHANS WHO ‘HELPED US FOR A PAYCHECK EVERY WEEK’ or were they just 800 people too cheap to pay Mexican cartels to sneak them across the border?

Our eff ups in the Pentagon don’t care - they lose wars ans assuage their guilt by dumping millions of people in flyover for Americans to take care of...

PSA = the Joe Biden administration will now be referred to as, “The Biden Cartel” or “El Cartel de Biden”. Thank you.

They are using the ‘Drug Cartel’ pricing schedule that is used to transport illegal aliens into the US on the Southern border. $4000 per person. Must be giving a
$2000 discount for being a US citizen, but non US citizens get a free ticket on the C17s.
