I wonder what your view of it is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReprehensible,\u201d Mudd replied. \u201c\u2018Sharply criticized\u2019 is too polite.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mudd went on to say that if the president \u2014 who is responsible for American national security above all else \u2014 had determined the situation was so dangerous that the military should withdraw, there was no excuse for members of Congress to take matters into their own hands and go anyway.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo two members of Congress, without the support of their leadership, decide that they\u2019re going to bypass Disneyland and take an Instagram trip to Afghanistan because they want some eye candy for a bunch of constituents,\u201d Mudd continued. \u201cIf I were Nancy Pelosi and Kevin McCarthy, I would see this as a chance for bipartisanship. Both those guys, on their committees, out. Done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mudd went on to suggest that Moulton and Meijer may have taken seats that could have been filled by Americans or Afghan refugees who still needed to be evacuated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat happens to the two refugees who didn\u2019t get those seats? What do you tell them?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>Mudd concluded by saying that the only thing anyone appeared to have learned rom the trip was that starting the evacuation process earlier would have ensured that more people could get out safely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJohn, I can do oversight from Memphis and give you that. Reprehensible. They ought to go from their committees,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook, I think there are more questions to follow about it, but Moulton and Meijer say they were actually on a plane where there were empty seats and that they were in crew seats,\u201d Keilar pushed back, adding that House Speaker <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/08\/25\/peter-meijer-seth-moulton-travel-kabul-us-evacuations-afghanistan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nancy Pelosi<\/a> had also criticized the pair for traveling to Kabul without authorization.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/08\/18\/seth-moulton-joe-biden-get-allies-out-of-afghanistan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Moulton<\/a> had been advocating for an expedited Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) process \u2014 which would have allowed the evacuations to begin much earlier \u2014 for months before U.S. troops withdrew and Taliban fighters took control of the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNN counter-terror analyst Phil Mudd had harsh words Wednesday for Democratic Massachusetts Rep.
