United States citizens trying to escape Afghanistan have been blocked from getting into Kabul's Hamid Karzai International Airport, Republican lawmakers charge, and they are placing the blame squarely on President Joe Biden and his State Department for doing enough to get Americans out.
"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."
"America, you need to know this: Biden is not letting US citizens through the airport gates. It has been impossible to get anyone through for the last 24 hours. This administration has been lying about their intent to save Americans. Unforgivable," tweeted Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL who lost an eye fighting in Afghanistan.
America, you need to know this: Biden is not letting US citizens through the airport gates.
"So they're being allowed onto the airport?" a reporter asked.
The stakes have escalated following the savage ISIS-K suicide bombing near the airport last week, killing at least 170 Afghans and 13 American soldiers, CNN reported.
Afghanistan: Due to a specific, credible threat, U.S. citizens near Kabul airport, including South gate, new Ministry of the Interior, and gate near Panjshir Petrol station, should leave the area immediately.
