Urgency Grows For Evacuation Of Afghan Interpreters - Rachel Maddow - MSNBC



Matt Zeller, co-founder of No One Left Behind, talks with Rachel Maddow about the dire threat Afghan interpreters who helped the United States are under if they are not evacuated to a safe place, and how it would hurt the reputation of the United States if it does not make good on its promise to protect the people who helped in Afghanistan. Aired on 07/07/2021.
