U.S. Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., called Thursday's deadly attack at the Kabul airport "horrific" and said the U.S. needs to evacuate everyone who is still stranded in Afghanistan.

"We can do it. Give us a new plan Mr. President. Our military is more than prepared to do this," Bacon said in a tweet.

The Nebraska Republican also said in a statement: “Our nation’s prayers go out to those who were injured and to the families of the reported 12 U.S. servicemen killed in this horrific attack. We also pray for the safety of our troops as we finish carrying out this mission, and for the stranded American citizens and our Afghan allies who are still in the area desperately trying to escape."
