A two-year-old American and 3-year-old American died in Afghanistan as a result of the Biden administration’s failed withdrawal from the country, Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), whose team is working firsthand on the ground to save stranded Americans, told Breitbart News Saturday.
Mullin, who has traveled to Afghanistan and whose team is working firsthand operating what he likened to the underground railroad to get Americans and Legal Permanent Residents (LPRs), and allies out of the Taliban-run country, told Breitbart News Saturday that the Biden administration has failed to assist his team in getting people out of the country, which has resulted in U.S. casualties largely unreported by the Biden administration.

“I mean yesterday, we got three Americans out and four Brits. The day before that, we got a couple,” he explained, but the successes have not come without devastation. Mullin revealed they have lost a handful of Americans, including a 3-year-old girl and 2-year-old boy.

many of the people could not even get to the Kabul airport because there were three checkpoints that were “charging between $500 to $1000 to go through.”
They eventually got them to the border of Tajikistan, where the ambassador told him that “Washington” told him not to assist Mullin in “any way.”
“And I said ‘excuse me? You can’t — I’m an American citizen. Because he said I wasn’t traveling officially. And I said I know, I’m traveling on a blue passport. I’m not here officially. I’m not here in my official capacity but I’m trying to get somebody, I’m trying to get an American out of a war zone, a war area who needs medical attention. You’re telling me someone from Washington told you not to assist me. Who was it? He said, ‘I can’t tell you that,’” Mullin said.
Mullin said he replied, “If you don’t tell me now, then next time you’re going to hear from me is going to be in another capacity.”
“That’s the only threat, because we’re going to have to find out,” he said, noting that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) promised to have a hearing and investigation on the matter if Republicans take the House back.
“So we may have to wait 15 months, but we’re going to find out,” he added.
“Because they wouldn’t help us get her out, September 10, she passed away from septic,” he said of the American child. “A 3-year-old girl. That was eight days before that that we could have got her out. And she passed away from septic and her parents had to watch her while we could have got her out.”
He says the parents of the three old were legal permanent residents of the US. So that makes her American, how?
KIAs don’t matter long as they stay off the
headlines, however I’m grateful at least someone
is trying to shine the torch on unreported issues.

Biden may say, “So what, the U.S. kills thousands of partially born and unborn babies every year.”
Mullin said the State Department would not take them in because the girl’s parents were LPRs...
Her parents, he said, asked him not to reveal her name. He said they do not want anything to do with the U.S. because “they feel like we abandoned their child
Alrighty then, close up shop and go home, guys. You’re not wanted.
She was born here and had an American passport ...

First, I’ve heard of this.
ESAD. If we would have stayed longer the gop and dems would airlift the whole dam country.
So terrible.
Not only that, but imagine if when Trump use a drone strike to kill that Iranian general Soleimani if instead he blew up a van full of civilians including 7 children. The media would have never forgiven him; and it is and would be totally deplorable.
I am so sick of our leaders trying to generate appearances. They want to look butch, or look compassionate, or look like they care. They don’t. They just want to shape their image and these corrupt people in the media go along with it. They can do that with Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian, but not with our leaders.
“Failed?”
This wasn’t a failure to the democrats or Biden.
THAT is not plugs. Far too healthy and his arms are too big. The hands are too youthful as well.
The whole administration is a lie of course.
Good luck to Mullen.
That'd kill anybody except George Floyd of course
Kids that never saw America, and didn’t know they were Americans.
This wasn’t a failure to the democrats or Biden.
^This Needs repeating.
Disgusting showboat. This azzhat went up and hugged the cop who murdered Ashli Babbett.
The hell with Markwayne the moron.
