Secretary of Cosplay Kristi Noem joined Kristen Welker on Meet the Press, and of course, proceeded to blame Joe Biden over the suspect of shooting of two National Guard members because he arrived in the U.S. under Operation Allies Welcome. The Biden-era program resettled thousands of Afghans after Kabul fell to the Taliban in 2021. We’re back to the Afghan withdrawal that Trump blamed on Biden, when, in fact, a U.S. review led by the National Security Council of the chaotic 2021 withdrawal broadly lays the blame on Trump, saying President Joe Biden was “severely constrained” by his predecessor’s decisions.
Regardless, everything is still Biden’s fault, no matter what it is, according to the Trump administration.
“Now, when we vet individuals under this administration, we know who they are, why they are here, and going through that,” Noem insisted. “Unfortunately, this individual, that entire process happened under Joe Biden’s watch.”
Reality: Rahmanullah Lakanwal was also granted asylum earlier this year, a process that would have brought its own scrutiny. And he underwent vetting by counterterrorism authorities before entering the United States, according to The Washington Post.
