They know and they won’t say. Because Americans would tear down Washington.
State Department Spokesman Refuses to Say How Many Legal Permanent Residents are Trapped in AfghanistanAssociated Press correspondent Matt Lee grilled State Department spokesman Ned Price. From the story: “… a lot of them feel like they frankly got screwed here and that they were lied to,” Lee continued, “because they had been told by people on the [State Department’s Afghanistan] task force … that we know where you are, we’re not going to let you – we’re not going to strand you, don’t worry, stay tight – hold tight. And now, what do they do? I mean, are you in touch also with the green card holders?” Price answered that that “we absolutely did and continue to message lawful permanent residents.” “How many?” asked Lee, to which Price eventually acknowledged that “we’re just not able at present to give you a firm figure as to how many LPRs may be in Afghanistan who wish to leave … If there is an LPR in Afghanistan who indicated a desire to leave before or who changes his or her mind in the coming days, weeks, months, or beyond, we will help that person. We will help that person depart Afghanistan” (NY Post). From Hugh Hewitt: It is a scandal that the American people do not have a MINIMUM NUMBER for citizens and green card holders abandoned in Afghanistan. @POTUS knows. @SecBlinken knows. We should know. Not the details that endanger people. But the minimum scope of this crisis (Twitter).
