Now, Secretary of State Blinken says it’s a “challenge” to evacuate Americans without “personnel on the ground.” pic.twitter.com/MEoNAztiO6
In response to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's remarks over the increasing difficulty of evacuating the remaining 200 Americans who are still in Afghanistan, an official statement by the Republican Party has called on the Biden administration to fire Blinken, holding him responsible for failing to deliver the Biden promise of not leaving Afghanistan before making sure all Americans were safe.
Blinken is worried about the Taliban government being all male but can’t be bothered to worry about the Americans STILL trapped in Afghanistan.

Bliken has recently admitted the "challenging" task of evacuating about 200 American citizens who are still in Afghanistan. However, the Biden administration had earlier made a pledge to not leave Afghanistan before making sure that "all Americans are out."
Another nail in the coffin of Biden's "extraordinary success" narrative as Blinken reverses the administration's position from yesterday, admitting that the Taliban is holding Americans and Afghan allies at an airport in northern Afghanistan.https://t.co/MczQTmDuHZ
