Laura Kelly and Ashleigh Fields report:
Asked on Tuesday why there weren’t evacuation plans in place or planes ready to take Americans out of the Middle East, Trump said “It happened all very quickly.”
Senate Democrats seized on Trump’s remarks as admitting there was no evacuation plan for Americans in the region.
“Americans deserve a government that steps up to help them through times of crisis, not turn their back on them to fend for themselves,” a group of Senate Democrats wrote in a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio on March 4.
On March 4 [4 days after the start of the 'conflict'] the State Department opened up a crisis intake form, promising free charter flights and transportation options for stranded Americans.
