Fox News
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi urged lawmakers Tuesday not to “unnecessarily divert needed resources” away from evacuees fleeing Afghanistan after two lawmakers departed in secret for Kabul.
"As veterans we care deeply about the situation on the ground at Hamid Karzai International Airport," the two lawmakers said in a joint statement obtained by Fox News. "America has a moral obligation to our citizens and loyal allies, and we must make sure that obligation is being kept." Pelosi sent a letter to lawmakers Tuesday warning them away from following in their colleagues' footsteps and traveling to the "region during this time of danger."More Related News
