Republican Congressman Darrell Issa said the pregnant woman, identified as Nasria, was kicked in the stomachCalifornia Rep Issa told Fox News on Tuesday: "We've agreed that she's going to stay sheltered in place, hiding her identity and hoping that her friends will continue to bring her food and keep her secret until frankly we can come up with something new."
Issa said Nasria had attempted the journey to the airport "multiple times."
'THEY WERE LEFT'
He later tweeted: "I represent two incredibly brave American citizens stranded in Afghanistan. They are both more than 80 years old.
"I can guarantee President Biden they did not wish to stay behind. They were left behind."
That came after officials were forced to admit a number of US citizens were left behind after the final plane left the county just before midnight local time on Monday.
