"We don't want anyone to think this was a good idea. There's a real concern about members being in the region," Pelosi said of the unauthorized trip that Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts and Republican Rep. Peter Meijer of Michigan had taken to Afghanistan, catching both House leadership and the White House by surprise.Moulton and Meijer announced Tuesday night that they had secretly flown to Afghanistan to see the situation for themselves.
"I don't think it helps necessarily for us to be going over there, and we're trying to get people out of there."Asked if the trip was irresponsible, Meeks said,"It does not help the mission."Before Moulton and Meijer's trip was disclosed Tuesday, Pelosi sent lawmakers a letter discouraging them from traveling to Afghanistan. Pelosi said Wednesday she learned about the trip"a little bit before it was in the public domain.
Impeach the Biden administration. Bomb afghanistan and our tanks ect. Impeach Biden
Took Time Away From the Mission... SethMoulton RepMeijer went 2 Afghanistan Tuesday! for Who? not OurMilitaryFamily NOW! 13 DEAD USMC on THURSDAY! MAYBE? OurMarines CBSThisMorning Morning_Joe would Be Alive! if the 'Mission' wasn't on Pause TUESDAY KabulAttack SemperFi
And who paid for this? Did our tax dollars pay for their trip to spy on the progress of the President? I’m just asking?
A bipartisan unauthorized trip by two Representatives that were Afghanistan War Veterans 'to see for themselves what's going on' says a whole lot about what's going on in the House. Impeach Pelosi.
I want Afghanistan to be RETURNED back to Afghans. This was America's and Pakistan's NASTY agreed plan. Talibans are NOT Afghans. Talibans are from PAKISTAN, funded by AMERICA. Return Afghanistan back to Afghans SanctionPakistan
Pentagon becoming CBI of India 😂😂😂
This country is so screwed.
Why did they go?
It’s all about me!!! Look what I did.
What arrogance and selfishness. Can’t imagine how they thought being in the middle of that mess was a good idea. How is making a difficult situation worse ever a good idea.
These two doofuses need to pay for the security forces required to handle their unwanted visit during this crisis.
Please say they’ll be punished- how unbelievably selfish.
They needed to see for themselves how Great and Brave the United States Military was doing their jobs! Prayers and Blessings for our Troops
2 Supreme jackasses
Last in, last out... Right?
Ture ___, taking time and resources that was needed to help people get out of the country. People please don't re-elect these two selfish _____!
I'd like to hear the COST (of available seats, security, travel, per diem etc.), BENEFIT (what they got out of it in less than 24 hrs. that would change anything) ANALYSIS.
Ugh wtf
Not possible if so is an iso
They want to 15 minutes of fame. It’s all about re-elections.
Leave them there & get the important people out first
Hmm wonder how those audit investigations going 🤔
Boo on them!
DorisMurdock Selfish politicians wanting to grandstand
WTF is going on in Mayberry Barne? Did they bring anyone back? I didn't think so. Beatits & A$$head
Pigs. That’s the tweet.
Something tells me money is involved. Just saying.
Amazing anything not to blame cognitively impaired old Joe
Two aholes trying to look important. More than likely, just got in the way.
what was the reason for this?
Really, really significant that they did not inform the Pentagon about their intended trip.
Political but not helping
Remember one thing. If it was so easy for them to get over there. Just how hard for people with evil thoughts to get here.
Did they take rolls of paper towels with them? No photo op without paper towels
What were they thinking other than about themselves
Now what did they think they could do?
Our foolish Canadian politician calls Taliban “our brothers 🤦🏼♀️
Shows these two have bigger balls than anyone in the government. Didn’t look like a political stunt either. Bet they jump in the firing line to ensure all US Citizens can safely get out and that’s so much more than anyone appearing in TV can and is willing to do
POTUS They went on their own aircraft and left on an aircraft that had plenty of empty seats what’s biden scared of.
BloodOfRighteousness 영생의 말씀을 들어보세요.
Who’s running this fucking disaster?
It is irresponsible on part of these representatives to go to a ‘war’ zone without authorization or permission. You can’t allow people to walk into a house with fire when fire fighters are trying their best to put out the fire!!! I thought RepMeijer was better than this.
Good bipartisanship but wrong place!
WillMcAvoyACN Grandstanding, pure and simple. I'm sure they had work to do here as well.
They already knew about the incompetence at the top and wanted to see how far down it went. Unannounced visits are good way to find out.
They should have to pay ….campaign funds abound
Grand standing a$$holes!
It was a great idea. Find out what’s actually happening in a bi partisan way.
Just for the optics. Get out of the way and let them finish the job!
EXACTLY their fucking presence took time away from the actual mission. Thank you for wasting their time! Inconsiderate politicians!
Just because you are a veteran doesn’t make you intelligent
nowonder our gov failed this pull out mission they so dumb they cant even find out when congreesman fly to kabul. lol
I can’t wait to hear how bad the shit is over in Afghanistan and what lies the administration has been telling us BidenIsADisgrace BidenDisaster BidenMustResign
yah im so sure 2 people using empty seats took up resources when planes are reportedly landing and taking off not full and even empty. lol the gov is just pissed they dont want people reporting what they see.
Should’ve left them there
Whaaat?
Excuse me if this sounds like a rhetorical ?, but what the Hell was their mission
wow
