Top Aide to Former Vice President Mike Pence Accuses Donald Trump and Steve Miller of DELIBERATELY Slowing Down Afghan Refugee Process.

Secretary of Defense James Mattis warned the Trump administration in a 9/14/2018 memo that the U.S. needed to do more to get our allies to safely under the U.S. Refugee Assistance Program.

But Trump and Steve Miller's Islamophobia carried the day.

Biden didn't even get the Americans out so there is that.

@kodiac The military didn't get the Americans out. Biden gives the order and the military is supposed to do it. Gen. Milley has said they had no idea the Taliban would overrun the whole country in 11 days.

@hunkalove

Trump had reduced U.S. troops to low levels as part of his plan to totally withdrawal from Afghanistan.

@kodiac We started evacuation flights in July, frankly I question the sanity and judgement of any civilians left in Kabul at this point.
