Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said all American citizens who wanted to leave Afghanistan have made it out, contradicting numbers coming out of the U.S. State Department and accounts from organizations still evacuating U.S. citizens and allies from Kabul airport.
“The Americans, all of whom wanted to come out, have come out, praise God. But there are a lot of Afghans who risked their lives for our soldiers and others. Many got out, some didn’t,” Schumer said during an interview with a local ABC news station in New York on Sept. 3.
