💥 Rep. Cory Mills slammed Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday for what he said was a sluggish response last year to Hamas’s attack on Israel and Americans trapped in Palestinian-controlled territory, with the lawmaker saying he had to personally make rescues.
Mr. Mills said he rescued 32 Americans on Oct. 11, four days after Hamas’s murderous attack, and went on to evacuate hundreds of others, while the State Department was missing in action.
“I got 255 Americans out by myself before the State Department lifted a finger and did anything to bring a plane in,” the Florida Republican told the secretary.
Mr. Blinken angrily denied that version of events, saying it wasn’t true.
That set off Mr. Mills.
“I was there. Were you?” he demanded.
“I had an entire embassy,” Mr. Blinken countered.
“How many Americans did you personally rescue sir?” Mr. Mills persisted.
