Here’s a clip from C-SPAN from Tuesday and we’re just now seeing it and think you should too. Colin Kahl, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy in the Biden administration, was asked by Sen. Joni Ernst if Americans were left behind in Afghanistan. That’s an easy enough question to answer, right? Even Pentagon officials at the time estimated there were probably around a hundred left behind.
Kahl, though, comes right out and says, “We did not leave Americans behind,” leaving it to Lt. Gen. James J. Mingus to break it to Ernst that the last U.S. plane left the Kabul airport the morning of the 31st of August.
.@SenJoniErnst asks if Americans behind were left behind.@ColinKahl: We did not leave Americans behind. They continue to get out.
Gen. Mingus: Yes ma'am, the last airplane left the evening of the 30th, the morning of 31st.
Ernst: Thank you for your straight-forward answer. pic.twitter.com/7YaWHGXcMu

It blows my mind that this guy can give that answer with a straight face.

I believe Colin is lying.

Here’s singer John Ondrasik:
@ColinKahl Shame on you! They get out because private citizens, honorable Americans, are risking their lives to rescue AM-CITS You and Your cabal left behind. I was with some of them last night and they are exhausted & furious at your cowardice and continued Orwellian Bullshit. https://t.co/cbUSlEXFVG

The Americans coming back need to have a press conference and call these m-effer's out!

This will happen

The truth is we left many American citizens behind, incld a pregnant woman who just had her baby there – none of them know still if they will ever make it out. There is no govt track, no plan – no mechanism to help. Same for green card holders & many high risk allies we relied on https://t.co/3iPzaX7Df9

It does not help to lie about this – too many Americans are working the same problem, on their own, night after night. We all know the truth.

It's really tragic.

I have no words.

What an unbelievable lie. If we didn’t leave behind any Americans, there wouldn’t be any to “continue” to get out, would there?
