Ramsey NJ,  2022 U.S. Republican House Candidate Frank Pallotta (NJ-05), today issued the following statement in response to recent events in Afghanistan including the tragic and avoidable deaths and injuries of US military men and women in a synchronized series of suicide attacks in Kabul, Afghanistan.

I am calling on House Leader Nancy Pelosi to order the lower chamber back into session to begin to work on both the catastrophic situation unfolding in Afghanistan, and the tragic series of suicide bombings that, to date, have killed or injured nearly 40 US servicemen and women. To send Congress home to be with their families and friends to celebrate Labor Day and the end of the Summer, while thousands of Americans are left stranded to fend for themselves in hostile territory, runs counter to everything, we hold dear.

It is incomprehensible that this administration is now kowtowing to Taliban leadership in Afghanistan to carryout one of the most poorly executed exit strategies from a war zone in recent history. What was originally scheduled to be an orderly and structured withdrawal of civilians, families, contractors, translators, arms, machinery, equipment and then finally, our military personnel; seems to have proceeded in the reverse. This has left thousands of US Citizens in danger, and nearly $90 billion in advanced military equipment in the hands of our enemies to be used against us.

“The image of our feckless Congressman Josh Gottheimer enjoying his time off by the pool while thousands of men and women who sacrificed their lives for our freedom, are left alone hoping that this administration will bring them home to their families, turns my stomach. If US citizens, abandoned by President Joe Biden, are forced to navigate the streets of Afghanistan to find a way home to their loved ones, then Josh can certainly use one of his free first-class Amtrak Acela tickets to travel 2 hours and 41 minutes back to Washington to see that is happens as quickly and safely as possible.”
