Nancy Pelosi Blocks Reading of the Names of 13 Troops Slain During Biden's Afghanistan Bugout
Democrat Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi blocked a Republican-led effort to have the names of the 13 service members who lost their lives during Biden’s Afghanistan bugout read during a session of Congress.
GOP reps blasted Pelosi on Wednesday for blocking the reading of the names of the soldiers who died as a result of Biden’s disastrous and abrupt evacuation of Kabul.
“How badly do Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats want to cover up this Afghanistan debacle? They just blocked Members of Congress from reading the names of the service members who sacrificed their lives in Afghanistan last week,” Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-FL) said on Tuesday. “Don’t you think our military deserves better?”

Florida’s Brian Mast also slammed Pelosi for her ignorance.
Per Daily Wire:
“We gaveled in, had a prayer, said the Pledge of Allegiance, took a moment of silence with pretty much all Republican veterans, then asked to be recognized to read names and bring up Afghanistan legislation,” Mast told the outlet. “They did not acknowledge us, and just closed the House down.”

“House Democrats just refused to recognize Republican veterans on the House Floor to read the names of our fallen service members in Afghanistan,” Rep. Steube posted to social media on Tuesday. “That’s how far our nation has fallen.”
