Pelosi Reprimands Lawmakers for Afghanistan Trip

Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that there was an “opportunity cost” associated with Reps. Seth Moulton (D-MA) and Peter Meijer (R-MI) visiting Kabul as evacuation efforts continue in Afghanistan, Axios reports.

Said Pelosi: “It’s not just about them going to Afghanistan, but in going to the region, because there’s a call on our resources diplomatically, politically, militarily in the region as well, so this is deadly serious.”

“Pelosi also said that this trip — which required the approval of committee chairs — was not approved by the Democratic side.”
