HuffPost
Mullin was in the middle of his second attempt to enter Afghanistan, despite having zero military or international diplomatic experience.
A Republican congressman from Oklahoma reportedly threatened embassy staff and a U.S. ambassador after he was denied assistance to enter Afghanistan as the Taliban continue their takeover. On Monday, Rep. Markwayne Mullin was on his second attempt to travel to Afghanistan to take part in unauthorized evacuations of Americans still in the war-torn country, The Washington Post reported on Tuesday. Mullin’s latest plan was reportedly to transfer large sums of money to Tajikistan, where he would then hire a helicopter to fly to neighboring Afghanistan and rescue five U.S. citizens. The plan hit a snag when Mullin was told by the U.S. ambassador to Tajikistan, John Mark Pommersheim, and other embassy staff that transferring large sums of money would violate the country’s cash law limits. As the Post reported, Mullin turned sour:
