Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) said he has seemingly been ignored by the Biden administration after he asked about the status of Americans in the crisis-stricken region. The Virginia Democrat said \u201cthere are tens of thousands\u201d of people left in Afghanistan and Biden\u2019s White House needs to reveal a plan to get them out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition to Americans or people with American residence, legal residence, who wanted to get out\u2026we still need a comprehensive answer in terms of the status of each and every one of those individuals,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about decision\u2019s made by Secretary of State Antony Blinken in regards to the situation, Connolly suggested the official relied on intelligence and \u201cmilitary conventional wisdom\u201d that he believes was \u201cflat out wrong.\u201d He continued by suggesting a thorough examination is needed to determine exactly what went wrong, specially in regards to the Intelligence Community with those who got it really wrong being held accountable.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The fact that Biden and Blinken still don\u2019t have an accurate count of American citizens, lawful permanent residents, and green card holders in Afghanistan is a dereliction of duty.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ronna McDaniel (@GOPChairwoman) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GOPChairwoman\/status\/1437794306044092423?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 14, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This comes as the Biden administration continues to try and explain the decisions that led to its botched pull out from Afghanistan, where unknown numbers of Americans remain.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Secretary Blinken: &#8220;About 100 American citizens\u2026who seek to leave&#8221; and &#8220;several thousand&#8221; green card holders are still abandoned in Afghanistan. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lbEjpnoR3x\">pic.twitter.com\/lbEjpnoR3x<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 RNC Research (@RNCResearch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1437523266063712263?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 13, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/election-integrity-is-top-issue-for-2022-campaigns-2\/\">Election Integrity Is Top Issue For 2022 Campaigns<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
