A Republican member of Congress is reportedly missing after saying he was trying to save five American citizens from Afghanistan, according to a report by the Washington Post.
Officials told the Post that the whereabouts of Rep. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma are unknown.
The report said that Mullin, 44, became enraged on Monday when a U.S. ambassador refused his request to help move large amounts of money into Tajikistan for his mission to save an American mother and her four children. The ambassador told him the request would be illegal, which reportedly prompted Mullin to threaten the ambassador and his staff.
The Republican had ignored warnings from the State Department and the Pentagon to avoid travelling to Afghanistan.
Mullin had said he was planning to hire a helicopter to help the 5 Americans escape the Taliban-controlled country. He was flying from Tblisi, Georgia, into the capital of Tajikistan, Dushanbe.
“To say this is extremely dangerous is a massive understatement,” said one unidentified official to the Post.
The Pentagon had previously denied Mullin’s request to travel to Afghanistan from Greece last week.
Many Americans were outraged when the U.S. military ended its evacuation mission in Afghanistan on Monday while abandoning between a hundred and two hundred Americans in the Taliban-controlled nation.
On Tuesday President Joe Biden pledged support for those Americans even as the administration was lambasted by critics for previously saying no Americans would be stranded.
“The bottom line, 90% of Americans in Afghanistan who wanted to leave were able to leave. And for those remaining Americans, there is no deadline! We remain committed to get them out if they want to come out!” shouted Biden during his address to the nation.

Reported he’s been located & is fine.
Rogue? Like hell. He’s trying to save U.S. citizens, a job the administration should be doing.
This is what US Patriots are left with. Try and do it yourself.
We have a ‘Simpleton’, a MORON, wielding the might of the Greatest Military on the planet, and he runs like the coward he is with his tail tightly tucked between his legs, every once in a while turning to to thump his meager weak old chest, before turning to run again, stranding many US Citizens in harms way.
Ole joe said, “We warned them 15 times”.
Well, WE WANT TO KNOW, How did you warn them joe? What did you say? Did you email them? Did you call them? Did you put it out on cnn joe? How did you warn them?
And ‘joe, what provisions did your military advisors make to disable the weaponry you left behind to make sure it cannot be used by the taliban? How can you be sure that this weaponry will not be taken by ccp troops and russion troops to reverse engineer to be used against the US in conflict’? What will you do then joe?
Why are US Patriots having to do your job joe?
You simple minded TRAITOR!
Yes Biden is simple minded, HOWEVER, you must KNOW that he did not make any of the decisions to leave Afghanistan!!! Blame the Sec. of State, Sec of Defense, Bernie Sanders, Obama, all the communist leaning democrats who are REALLY running the country!!!! Biden only reads the script he is given!!!!!!!
You are incorrect. It was blow hole Joe’s decission. No one else.
LIAR, Biteme hasn’t made a decision, since his installation. The decisions are made by those behind the curtain. You should really learn to spell, to qualify your statements.
No, they said he went against his advisors. Not that they woild have had a better strategy. Probanly just not as much chaos as biden wanted.
Blame it on all of them and more but remember what they say “The buck stops here” unfortunatly it stopped at a brick wall. Biden talks tough when he reads the teleprompter but in real life he is just a babbling senile disgrace of a person and he ever did try to punch someone in the face he would punch himself.
Our Congressman Markwayne Mullin is from Oklahoma.
This morning I read an article in the Tulsa World newspaper that Mullins is alive & well. He is trying to finish a job that Joe Biden didn’t finish.
This is what a Republican and real American looks like. I used to say this is what a true American looks like but I have encountered too many delusional Democrats denying the undeniable and defending the indefensible. Thank GOD for the GOP. Time for more of the GOP to grow some balls
Biden is a poor excuse for a President!! He’s weak minded and doesn’t really support the American people and he’s the one who should be impeached!!
Somebody has to try to save them. I guess this is one more dead American to add to bidens list.
Bidets moron directly responsible for the deaths of Americans and American helpers that he left in Afghanistan to be tortured and killed by Taliban. What a stupid thing to say “All Americans who WANT to leave Afg can leave.” yeah right!
