Tucker Carlson rails against bid to resettle 'millions' of Afghan refugees before rescuing American citizens trapped in hellish chaos who can't make it to the airport after the Taliban rolled in to Kabul

 Tucker Carlson has ruthlessly criticized the US war in Afghanistan and the government's plans to resettle Afghan refugees, before ensuring all American citizens are safely evacuated. 

On Wednesday's edition of 'Tucker Carlson Tonight', the host railed against the war, calling it a 'betrayal of the American public' and the hasty US withdrawal 'a betrayal of the Afghan people.'

'Our leaders made promises to them they knew they couldn't keep. Honorable countries don't do that. It's shameful.'

The host went on to say that the US government is eager to 'change the demographic balance of this country' by 'letting in millions of refugees.'

'Millions is not a handful of loyal Afghan interpreters. That's not even a fleet of cargo planes full of loyal Afghan interpreters. 

'Millions is a good chunk of the entire population of Afghanistan, brought to our country at our expense to live in your neighborhood at the very moment our national fabric is fraying.'

Carlson also said that such a decision cannot be questioned because to do so would be simply labelled as 'racist'.

US operations have evacuated roughly 6,000 people since August 14, many of them diplomats and Afghan civilians, but around 15,000 American and allies citizens stranded in the country

President Biden has said he aims to resettle 65,000 Afghan refugees and pull out every American citizen from Afghanistan, but this will see American troops remain in the country well beyond the August 31 deadline previously set

'At this point, fighting racism is the universal justification for every bad idea. They know that calling you a racist is the fastest way to make you obey,' he said. 

US operations in Kabul have seen roughly 6,000 people evacuated since August 14, much of them US military personnel, diplomats and Afghan refugees.

But a total of 15,000 American citizens and allies are currently stranded in Afghanistan, and the US has deployed another 6,000 troops to secure the hasty evacuation operations. 

Carlson slammed the chaotic rescue mission: 'American citizens remain trapped.

'Reporter Phil Wegmann from Real Clear Politics says he just got off the phone with Senator Bill Hagerty's office, who is getting reports of Americans and safe houses near the Karzai airport who are, 'trying to figure out when they can run for it.' 

'Run for it. That's what Americans have been left to do. Afghans are certainly doing that.'

President Joe Biden on Wednesday defended his handling of the US withdrawal on ABC news, saying the chaos was unavoidable while declaring the government intends to resettle up to 65,000 Afghan refugees.  


His comments were quickly descended upon by critics who said there was no excuse for his poor handling of the situation, particularly given the president's decision to remain at his presidential retreat of Camp David over the weekend rather than taking charge of the crisis from the White House situation room.

He returned briefly to Washington on Monday to deliver a speech again blaming Afghan leaders and former President Trump for the collapse of Afghanistan - but left minutes later to return to Camp David. 

On Tuesday, it emerged he had not telephoned any other world leaders as the Taliban advance unfolded and evacuations began. 

Biden said initially the evacuation operation would be concluded by August 31, but the current pace of evacuations suggests that US personnel will have to remain in the country for weeks beyond that date. 

Many evacuation transports have also left Kabul with empty spaces. Eighteen C-17 US Air Force jets have been committed to remove US citizens, Afghan refugees and others, but on Wednesday only 2,000 people were evacuated in total including 365 Americans.

In the interview, Biden snapped at ABC host George Stephanopoulos for mentioning Afghans falling out of planes in Kabul chaos, dismissing the comments and saying 'that was four or five days ago.'

On Wednesday afternoon, the State Department updated its guidance to tell all remaining US citizens to make their way to the airport but it couldn't guarantee anyone's safety on the journey.  

At a Pentagon press briefing a short time afterwards, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin confirmed troops would not go to collect anyone, saying: 'We don't have the capability to go out and collect up large numbers of people.' 

The Taliban - which has promised 'amnesty' and that it won't interfere with any country trying to evacuate its people - has already abandoned its revamped image and is reverting to medieval punishment in the streets.

There are now thought to be around 50,000 people - mostly Afghans - gathered outside two entrances to Hamid Karzai airport - the civilian south side and military north side, both of which are under Taliban control.
