A large number of American citizens have been rescued from Afghanistan by a volunteer group after being abandoned by Democrat Joe Biden’s administration.
39 U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents were successfully evacuated Friday by the volunteer civilian group Project Dynamo.
They arrived safely at New York City’s JFK airport on Saturday morning, according to the New York Post.
Project Dynamo receives funding from Save Our Allies, which is affiliated with The Independence Fund.
More than a dozen children, including an 11-month-old American citizen, were among the evacuees.
“This is the first known major airlift rescue with American boots on the ground since the U.S. government abandoned the country of Afghanistan in August,” a spokesman for the organization, James Judge, said in a statement.
Two members of Project Dynamo reportedly flew into Afghanistan from an undisclosed country earlier this week.
They then managed to get the evacuees to a safehouse near Kabul with a group of volunteers.
After being vaccinated and tested for the coronavirus, the evacuees were flown out of Kabul airport.
They traveled on two flights paid for by Berry Aviation.
The Biden administration on Monday admitted it left hundreds more U.S. citizens behind in Afghanistan after chaotic withdrawal.
The numbers were disclosed by the State Department.
However, they are drastically higher than the estimates Joe Biden gave regarding the number of Americans left behind in Afghanistan after U.S. forces left the country.
A dozen children, including an 11-month-old American baby, were among those saved.
In addition, a suicide bomb attack outside the Abbey Gate at Kabul’s airport in Afghanistan on Aug. 26 killed 13 U.S. service members.
At least 18 more were also injured, U.S. officials said.
The attack was the deadliest day for U.S. troops in 10 years.
This smells like globalony. How many natural born American citizens are actually involved and why were they there in the first place?
These rescued citizens should hold a press conference describing how they were abandoned by the U.S. government. Wouldn’t that be interesting.
Several weeks ago the number of US citizens in Afghan was 32,000
.. and how they and others still there were and are being treated.
Agreed.
Weird how nobody in the media is pressing the xiden administration in those daily press briefings about stranded Americans. Ice cream is clearly a much more important topic.
The decrepit old fool abandoned them and the media totally suppressed any reporting on it.
Even Tucker and Hannity won’t touch it.
Wonder why?
Let’s see if either picks up on this story tonight.
Guess you don't even watch Tucker then. He talked about the Americans left behind and biden's piss poor pullout months ago. He's not not the type to repeat the same thing over and over for months. He also interviewed a soldier that was over there on his Tucker Carlson Today show.
Great opportunity to put another nail in the coffin of dementia Joe’s pResidency. Joe has a lot of splainin to do.
Good idea, but what network would cover it?
“Good idea, but what network would cover it?”
Tucker Carlson would interview some of the abandoned but that’s not enough. If only there was a political party that opposed the DemocRATS. They could hold congressional hearings on the matter but organizing a conclave of unicorns would be more likely.
