Speaker Pelosi on House members’ Kabul visit: ‘We do not want members to go’House Speaker Nancy Pelosi criticized Reps. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., and Peter Meijer, R-Mich., for their unauthorized visit to Kabul amid evacuations, stating the situation is deadly serious, and that she doesn’t believe the congressmen had committee approval on the Democratic side. It's probably safer for errant lawmakers in Kabul than in Pelosi's Washington. Hope there will be consequences for the Meijer and Moultan! Grandstanding during a dangerous military operation is not helpful! It's not just these two that took seats away from innocent people fleeing the Taliban, it's the troup of aids, assistants, and security. Each Congressman requires at least two or more security. Probably at least 6 support people for each each. More? That's the issue!!
