EXCERPT:
SANGER: “The speech was remarkable, I thought, for the fact that the President went through his justification for pulling out. And one could be in support of that, as I think many Democrats and Republicans and Trump supporters are, and still ask the question, why didn’t this evacuation, particularly of those Afghans who have worked for the United States, begin much earlier? You know, the President made his decision in April to leave by September 11th. In fact, the military did it faster. President Trump made an agreement with the Taliban to leave by May 1st. Neither one of them expedited the move of these special immigrant visa applicants out of the country faster. And I think that’s a big question right now, clear from what Clarissa said about getting to the airport, about whether it’s simply too late for many of them.”
