White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki went viral on Monday after she rejected the notion that Americans who have yet to be evacuated from Afghanistan are "stranded." "First of all, I think it's irresponsible to say ‘Americans are stranded.' Afghan allies who helped Americans are stranded in Afghanistan too. Americans & allies are stuck behind Taliban lines, and Americans & allies have been threatened, beaten, & blocked by the Talibs," Washington Examiner reporter Jerry Dunleavy wrote. Even on CNN, Jake Tapper reacted to Psaki's comments acknowledging the Biden administration's efforts to rescue Americans "but there are, no doubt, Americans who feel stranded in Afghanistan right now."
