Rep. Markwayne Mullin, who went to Middle East to rescue US citizens: Biden 'has blood on his hands'; is lying
Fox News
House Intelligence Committee member Markwayne Mullin told "Special Report" that president Biden has “blood on his hands” with the Afghan withdrawal and claims the administration is lying about the conditions in the Middle East country.
"I want to make it very clear. I wasn't looking to try to get in Afghanistan…. [P]eople started calling me wanting help. And we had been getting friends of mine that were in the service that said ‘can you help our interpreter get out?’ – which we had a lot of conversations about that. Then we started getting phone calls from people that had family members or friends that were American citizens," he said. At first, Mullin – in his capacity as a House member – sought to sponsor a flight to the United States to get 20 Americans out of the Taliban-controlled country, after several federal agencies turned the group down. "Everybody kept denying them and then they asked would you go with us? And these are Tier 1 operators. These are DELTA guys, special forces. These guys are legit. I'm nobody. I'm just a congressman," he said.More Related News
