CONGRESSMAN SCOTT PERRY: "Can you tell us where you are today?"

BLINKEN: "Yes. I'm at the State Department."

PERRY: "Couldn't be bothered to come down here and see Congress? Alright, that's great."

Secretary Blinken just admitted that the Taliban has blocked American charter flights out of Afghanistan.

This is a hostage situation. //

Blinken refused to answer questions about the reported call between Joe Biden and former Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani, where Biden allegedly told Ghani that whether it was true or false, he had to tell the public that they were beating back the Taliban — basically lying and deceiving the public. //

Then Rep. Scott Perry really got down to it with Blinken, asking him some great questions. Did the State Department block any Americans from being evacuated? Blinken claimed not, despite many reports to the contrary. How many Afghans did they evacuate who weren’t SIVs (in other words, how many were evacuated, not because they helped the U.S. but to bump up the numbers and were just refugees, not the people the State Department was supposed to be concentrating on getting out)? //

Annnd here's what some will argue was a big takeaway...

.@RepScottPerry: "How long was your recent interview with the FBI and was it a deposition?

Sec. Blinken: "I'm sorry. I don't know what you're referring."

Blinken goes on by refusing to comment further (3/3)
