A post on Facebook of an American getting out of the war zone, no thanks to the Trump admin. [View all]

Here are quotes from her post.

We are safe in Athens, and I want to share what actually happened to get us out, because the story being told by US politicians is not the whole truth.
While we were in Riyadh, sheltered by the incredibly generous families of the American International School of Riyadh who took in my ASD colleagues and us, the acting ambassador came to speak with our group. She told us evacuation flights were happening. That same morning, I had received two calls. One from the State Dept in DC telling me there were no evac flights, no help, and nothing they could do. And one from the Doha embassy offering to put me on a bus to Riyadh, where we already were, a fact clearly stated on our intake form.
When we arrived at the rally point, there were fewer than 30 people for a very large plane. It was heartbreaking. Embassy staff on the ground, who were absolutely wonderful, told us that DC controls the manifests, not them, and that DC was disorganized and not communicating well. We felt enormous guilt getting on that plane.
