Atlanta, GA – Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats blocked Members of Congress from reading aloud the names of the service members who sacrificed their lives in Afghanistan in the recent terrorist attack, according to Republican Representatives. Additionally, Pelosi and House Democrats blocked a vote requiring President Biden to produce a plan to rescue American citizens left stranded in Afghanistan. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement:

“President Biden has disgraced himself and dishonored our nation. Now Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats have joined him in disgrace and dishonor. They have shown their true colors by betraying the memory of our fallen heroes in Afghanistan, and quickly forgetting the hundreds of Americans still stranded in that country, thanks to President Biden’s disastrous withdrawal. We cannot forget our fallen heroes, and we must do everything we can to get every single American who wants to leave out of Afghanistan.  Democrats want to sweep this catastrophe under the rug as quickly as possible, but the American people will not allow it.  Shame on Nancy Pelosi for betraying the memory of our finest, and those who continue to need our help.”
