California-born Afghan-American says voters 'expected a lot more from' VP Harris
Fox News
Afghan-Americans are trying to get Vice President Kamala Harris to hear their pleas, including 24-year-old Willy Moosayar, who says voters "expected a lot more" from the country's first female, immigrant-born VP.
The 24-year-old emphasized that he and other protesters weren't there to voice support for or against the Newsom recall but to instead deliver a message to the vice president as the Biden administration continues its work to pull hundreds of U.S. citizens and allies out of Afghanistan after ordering a complete withdrawal of the U.S. military from the country by Aug. 31. "You know, we were excited to have Kamala — a woman of color, the daughter of an immigrant — in our government as a vice first female vice president because we thought we can connect with her, she will feel for us," Moosayar told Fox News. "But it's been a total disappointment, which is why we were there." He added that Afghan-Americans "were there to support her" when she was running for president, and now, "the Afghan people are watching her."More Related News
