Lawmakers: State Department No Longer Allowing American Citizens to Enter Kabul Airport
Breitbart ^ | 08/28/21 | Kristina Wong

Members of Congress said Sunday evening that the Biden administration was not allowing Americans to enter the Kabul airport and leave Afghanistan, as the evacuation mission nears its end by August 31.

Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) tweeted Sunday night that the State Department was not helping American citizens trying to evacuate.

“I am furious!! My team has been on the phone all day trying to get AMERICAN CITIZENS out. They have been just outside the airport numerous times, but the State Department WILL NOT help them,” he tweeted.

He added, “They have been beaten by the Taliban at check points and told to leave and come back with large sums of money. Biden is going to get them killed! Enough!! We have [to] put someone who gives a damn in charge RIGHT NOW!”

Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) also tweeted that U.S. citizens were not being allowed into Kabul airport.

“Biden has ordered the gates closed. Our fellow Americans will soon be left behind. Unbelievable and unforgivable,” he tweeted.

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) tweeted: “America, you need to know this: Biden is not letting citizens through the airport gates. It has been impossible to get anyone through for the last 24 hours.”

“The administration has been lying about their intent to save Americans. Unforgivable,” he added.

On August 17, the White House said there were an estimated 11,000 Americans left in the country. The Pentagon has said only 5,400 Americans have been evacuated, as of Saturday, leaving a discrepancy of about 4,600.

However, the State Department last week claimed there were only about 1,500 Americans left in the country.

Earlier on Saturday, the Pentagon claimed that American citizens and Afghan Special Immigrant Visa applicants were still able to get into the airport...

How many civilian Americans have already died? And how many Afghanis who helped us? If any die now and once Biden’s surrender is complete, it will be blood on his hands. He won’t be able to hide from this even if media bury it.

Enough with the Tweeting!

Go over to the White House and raise hell with them, if you have to carry a sleeping bag and camp on the sidewalk until you get results. Force the media to cover it.

How many Americans did Traitorjoe and his Demonicrat kakistocracy promise to leave behind for the Taliban to torture and behead?

If you protest for a black America, permission is granted.

There is room ONLY for afghans now. Their mission: to come to the USA, take our handouts, and be fruitful and multiply until bammy’s dream comes true: the USA becomes a towelhead country.

Yes, but he and the communists do not care. PedoJoe can only wallow in his personal misery of losing
the only intelligent son that he had. The rest of his dialogue and U.S. policy comes dribbling
through his earpiece.

This is what the slobbering university, K-12, Enemedia propaganda have wrought.

Despite the bluster and outrage of those on the right, our great experiment of a Constitutional country is
disappearing not with a bang but a whimper.

I have a good friend who retired from the service as a Marine Force Recon. He had been deployed all over the world, and had scars to prove he saw horrendous action. He also took merc jobs after retirement. He told me to never, ever, take a job with the State Department. They will either get you killed or abandon you to your enemies.

Is this imbecile trying to make an incredibly tragic situation even worse?! Normally I’d ask what the hell is he thinking, but with his advanced dementia, the answer is obvious. He isn’t.
