White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain retweeted a post on Monday by Washington Post opinion writer Jennifer Rubin mentioning that the Obama administration, which Klain served under, didn’t evacuate Americans from Yemen in 2015.

Rubin tweeted a piece she wrote on Monday headlined “The State Department deserves more credit for its effort to evacuate Americans from Afghanistan.”

“It is interesting, however, to compare the Afghanistan effort with prior evacuations of Americans. In 2015, the United States did not evacuate Americans as Yemen descended into chaos,” tweeted Rubin.
