Congressman Issa Releases Letter to President Biden From American Stranded in Afghanistan
“No American should have to beg their President to bring them home from a dangerous foreign land.”
WASHINGTON D.C. - Congressman Darrell Issa today released correspondence to President Biden written by an American citizen from San Diego who is stranded in Afghanistan. Rep. Issa, who was also sent the letter by the citizen, added the following statement:
“For months, my office has worked tirelessly to bring home American citizens and members of our community to be reunited with their families. Throughout these efforts, we have seen the worst of the Biden Administration’s disorganized and ineffective efforts to bring our people home. The correspondence I am releasing today is difficult to read, as it captures what one of our fellow citizens is enduring in the aftermath of this President’s disastrously reckless Afghanistan pullout. No American should have to beg their President to bring them home from a dangerous foreign land. And yet, that is exactly what this member of our community and so many other American citizens may feel forced to do. Shame on this White House for its betrayal of our fellow citizens.”
