On Tuesday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Deadline: White House," Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) stated that Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin "provided no real responses to my questions" on evacuating American citizens and Afghan allies from Afghanistan. "Because, at the moment, there aren't responses. There is nobody in charge." And that the "tens of thousands of Afghan allies" still in the country are "at risk of murder and torture. They're in hiding. And their situations are increasingly desperate."
