GOP Rep. Green Says Afghan Evacuees Have ‘Free Rein’ at VA Military Base, Catching Ubers to ‘Leave’Trent Baker 9 Sep 2021
Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “The Ingraham Angle,” Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) discussed the letter he sent to Secretary of State Antony Blinken asking for answers after a source of told him Afghan evacuees being held at the Fort Pickett, Virginia military base have had “free rein” of the complex and have been leaving the base by using ride-sharing companies such as Uber.
Green said he has sources telling him it is not only happening at the Virginia base. He added that since none of the evacuees are accounted for, they can just leave “and be gone.”
“The State Department is failing to give them adequate information. They’re letting them leave. They can catch an Uber and actually leave the base,” Green said of the evacuees. “They don’t know exactly how many are even there, so they can’t account for someone if they don’t return.”
“And they are telling the people if you go and you don’t come back, that will end your visa processing,” he continued. “But, if they want free, they are gone. There is nobody keeping them from leaving.”
Green told host Laura Ingraham that the State Department’s handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal has been “a complete failure.”
