Cold-Hearted Dems Vote Against Life Saving Bill

The evacuation from Afghanistan was supposed to be a cakewalk. We had been there for 20 years and should have been able to hold out until at least every American could get out. But that didn’t happen and Biden chose to abandon at least a hundred Americans in Afghanistan. So in light of this failure, Rep Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin came up with a bill to rescue these Americans, but I guess Dems are against saving Americans now…

“Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) today slammed House Democrats for blocking the House from passing his legislation that would have required the Biden Administration to produce a plan to get stranded Americans out of Afghanistan. Gallagher joined a group of House Republicans in requesting this bill be passed by Unanimous Consent but had his request rejected on the House Floor.

“House Democrats have had not one, but two opportunities to join House Republicans in supporting legislation to hold this administration accountable and do whatever is necessary to save lives. Both times, they declined to join our efforts to do so. This is unacceptable,” said Rep. Gallagher. “American lives are on the line and we have a moral obligation to do everything we can to get them home. Congress cannot sit on the sidelines while hundreds of our fellow citizens have been left behind enemy lines.”

Specifically, Rep. Gallagher’s bill would:

• Demand a plan from the Biden Administration to bring Americans home,
• Request an accounting of all the equipment left behind,
• Require transparency on any deals or agreements made by the Biden Administration with the Taliban,
• Establish a sense of Congress that that Taliban should not be recognized as the government of Afghanistan, and
• Prohibit any federal funding or sanctions relief to the Taliban.”

Gallagher is absolutely right, American lives are on the line here they should be passing legislation like this. It’s sad that they would turn down a bill that is so straightforward in its goal to help Americans. It is just disgusting that Dems call themselves American representatives and then deny a bill like this.
