Khanna: Why Aren't We Using Leverage on Taliban if They're Keeping Americans 'Hostage' by Stopping Them from Leaving?

On Wednesday's broadcast of CNN's "The Lead," Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) argued that if the issue with getting flights to depart Afghanistan is with State Department paperwork, we should take people to a third location and then worry about paperwork, and if the Taliban is keeping people from leaving, "how are we not saying you must do that or you risk the wrath of the United States? You can't keep American citizens hostage." He also stated that the idea that people don't want to leave Afghanistan is untrue and "We have cases of people who want to leave and aren't able to leave, who were beaten getting to the airport."
