Rep. Malinowski: I Urged Biden Administration Not To Leave So Fast

‘I urged the Biden administration not to continue that policy’

EXCERPT:

MALINOWSKI: "Well, I was critical of the Trump Administration when they made this decision — "
BERMAN: "Also, yeah."
MALINOWSKI: " — and I urged the Biden administration not to continue that policy. We are where we are. The focus right now has to be on getting people out. You know, I wish we had at least stayed until — I wish we stayed at the airport, basically, and stayed at the Bagram Air Base until at least all of our people were out. I think that would have been a better way to handle this. But at the same time, I think people need to understand there is no such thing as a non-chaotic evacuation. Once you start an evacuation, you’re in a sense precipitating, you’re signaling your expectation that the place is going to fall and you’re precipitating that.”
