‘Dead On’: Higbie and Donalds Torch Jasmine Crockett for Ignoring Illegal Alien Crisis

/

Byron Donalds and Carl Higbie issued sharp criticism of Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s recent comments on immigration, arguing that her stance ignores the federal government’s duty to secure the nation and fails to address the strain illegal immigration places on communities, budgets, and housing markets.

Both said Crockett’s remarks appear driven by a desire for media visibility rather than public safety or responsible policy.

Carl Higbie opened by questioning Crockett’s position.

He said, “Your colleague, Jasmine Crockett. I just I don’t know where she gets this.”

Donalds responded that her approach is familiar on Capitol Hill.

“Neither do I, neither does anybody else. Look what Jasmine is trying to do is typical of unfortunately, what’s happening on Capitol Hill. You got a lot of members trying to get cute, trying to get on TV more. This is a very stupid take by her, it makes no sense at all,” he said.

Donalds argued that border security is a core federal responsibility.

“The federal government has a responsibility to secure the nation and to secure the people of America. That’s its job. So, yes, criminal illegal aliens must be deported, all of them. There can’t be any equivocation. People in the country illegally, they need to go home,” he said.

He outlined several reasons for removing criminal illegal aliens.

“Number one, our communities don’t have enough room. Number two, budgets at the local level, state levels are all being stretched. Number three, when you allow like Joe Biden did, and quite frankly, like Jasmine Crockett did, 15 million people to come into the country illegally. Where are they living? Where they’re living in is in apartments and in houses that are also helping to artificially drive up the cost of housing in the United States, and who suffers the consequences for that, people who are on the lower end of the economic spectrum in our country,” Donalds said.

Donalds said Crockett’s remarks serve media interests rather than the public.

“So Jasmine, once again, doesn’t know what she’s talking about. She’s trying to make sure she’s on MSNBC or MS NOW, or whatever the heck they call the thing, because nobody really watches it and nobody cares. It is another cheap take that makes no sense that leaves the American people less safe in their own country,” he said.

Higbie agreed fully with Donalds’ assessment. “Dead on, completely dead on, maybe less shrimp running on treadmills, more deportations. I like that,” he said.

Adam Carolla Goes All the Way Off After Hearing FDA Memo on COVID Jabs Killing Kids

/

Mike Dawson and Adam Carolla discussed new revelations about an internal FDA memo concerning child deaths following COVID-19 vaccination, leading to a broader critique of how pandemic information was handled and how parents responded to official guidance.

The exchange centered on a staff memo from the Food and Drug Administration’s vaccine division and Carolla’s reaction to the agency’s communication decisions.

Dawson opened by summarizing the memo.

He said, “New director of the Food and Drug Administration’s vaccine division told his agency in a staff memo that an internal review found that at least 10 children died after and because of receiving the covid vaccine.”

Carolla reacted by comparing the reported deaths to outcomes for healthy children who contracted COVID-19.

He said, “Well, look, if they’re healthy, then that’s more kids than died of covid while healthy. It’s all the kids. It all back to the kids. Every roads to the kids. That’s all they did was the kids.” Carolla argued that fear-based messaging targeted parents.

“That’s all they did was scare dumb mamas. Dumb mamas controlled the House, and dumb mamas became their foot soldiers and did their fucking bidding,” he said.

Carolla said he believed pandemic restrictions and recommended treatments were shaped through messaging directed at parents.

“So it’s basically like, you go, Look, what do you want? You go, Well, I want everyone to not take ivermectin and not take hydroxychloroquine and get vaccinated and stay in and shut shut, shelter in place and wipe everything out with pure out. You are not going to get that done with me. You will get it done with a dumb ass wife. You poison her brain and you get to her, and then she inflicts. She is the disciplinarian. She lays down all the rules, the covid rules at the house, right? And the way you get her is you scare her about kids. That’s what works with her so, kids, kids, kids,” he said.

Carolla argued that the public conversation about children and risk would have been different if health agencies had shared more information early.

“If they had just said at the beginning of this, you know, it doesn’t really appear to harm healthy kids. It just doesn’t, it just doesn’t seem to have it’s like maybe a flu or cold to a healthy young person. So it doesn’t really seem to affect kids. It would have been a totally different trajectory,” he said.

He added, “We would have shut the schools down. We wouldn’t have shut society if they have shut this told us what they knew about kids, then we would have gone a different direction.”

Carolla said he believed the FDA intentionally withheld information.

“But they never did. They never did. They wouldn’t because they held that they guarded that information,” he said.

He argued that releasing the information would have changed parental behavior.

“Once you let the kids off the danger hook, like if you said, it doesn’t appear to really be dangerous to Healthy Kids, then every mom in the world would have stopped enforcing all the retarded edicts they put before her,” he said.

Carolla said parents vaccinated their children based on fear and misinformation.

“That’s why the dumb moms got the fucking kids vaccinated and was totally unnecessary For them, absolutely and now it’s dangerous. Thanks, moms, great job,” he said.

He closed by urging parents to question guidance rather than follow it automatically, saying, “Next time ask a fucking question, would you please before you light your count your Fauci candle fucking dumb shits? Yep, everyone in this fucking safety sphere and all this thing, it’s fucking us up. You guys fucked up your kids in the name of safety. Good job. Moms, smart keep listening to dopes who lie to you.”

Harvard Hires Graduate Once Charged in Assault on Israeli Student

Harvard Hires Graduate Once Charged in Assault on Israeli Student

/

Harvard University has hired a Divinity School graduate who previously faced assault charges connected to a high-profile protest on campus in October 2023, according to newly released reports.

The graduate, Elom Tettey-Tamaklo, began working in August as a graduate teaching fellow, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

According to the National Review, Tettey-Tamaklo’s responsibilities include advising faculty on curriculum design and consulting on complex academic issues. The position may come with a stipend of up to $11,000.

Tettey-Tamaklo’s hiring follows an incident at a “die-in” protest held after the Hamas terror attack in 2023.

During the protest, he was filmed confronting first-year Harvard Business School student Yoav Segev as Segev attempted to record the demonstration. He was charged with misdemeanor assault and battery after the altercation.

A Boston Municipal Court judge later ordered Tettey-Tamaklo to complete anger-management classes, take a Harvard negotiation course, and perform 80 hours of community service.

After completing the required conditions, the court dismissed the case in November 2024.

Harvard allowed him to continue his studies during the legal proceedings and later hired him for the teaching fellowship.

The 2023 confrontation drew attention from the Trump administration, which at the time requested that Harvard investigate the incident and expel Tettey-Tamaklo and others involved.

Officials warned the university that federal funding required ensuring a campus free of antisemitic harassment.

Harvard declined to issue academic sanctions beyond removing Tettey-Tamaklo from a proctor role, citing “student discomfort.”

He was not the only student charged. Harvard Law School graduate Ibrahim Bharmal also faced assault charges related to the same protest. The university supported him as well, and he later received a $65,000 Harvard Law Review fellowship.

Both Tettey-Tamaklo and Bharmal stated, according to the Harvard Crimson, that they did not physically contact Segev and argued that they were subjected to racially biased policing by the Harvard University Police Department.

The Crimson reported that the police account said protesters pressed their torsos against Segev while attempting to block his camera. Officers identified Tettey-Tamaklo, Bharmal, and another person as the “most prolific and aggressive.”

Segev has since filed a federal lawsuit accusing Harvard of failing to protect him and obstructing his attempts to pursue disciplinary action.

He alleges that the university used “misleading tactics” that prevented him from seeking administrative remedies during the criminal investigation.

Fox News Digital has requested comment from Harvard.

National Guardsman Andrew Wolfe Responsive, Gives Nurse Thumbs Up After DC Terror Attack

National Guardsman Andrew Wolfe Responsive, Gives Nurse Thumbs Up After DC Terror Attack

/

West Virginia National Guardsman Andrew Wolfe has shown limited signs of responsiveness after being wounded in the Washington, D.C. shooting that also killed fellow National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom, state officials said.

Gov. Patrick Morrissey stated that nurses asked Wolfe to give a thumbs up if he could hear them, and “he did respond.”

President Donald Trump delivered an update yesterday, saying Wolfe remains in critical condition after being shot last week.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said Wolfe is “fighting for his life” and confirmed he had spoken to Wolfe’s family. Trump described Wolfe’s parents as “devastated.”

“Andrew is fighting for his life. And his parents are unbelievably great people, highly religious people, and they’re praying,” Trump said.

He added that Wolfe’s parents were “positive.”

Trump also spoke with the parents of Beckstrom, who was killed in the same attack.

He said her parents were “devastated” and that they “can’t even believe it” that their daughter died.

Wolfe’s family has continued to request prayers as he remains hospitalized with no new updates on his condition.

Wolfe entered the service in 2019 and serves in the Force Support Squadron, 167th Airlift Wing of the West Virginia Air National Guard.

West Virginia Rep. Riley Moore said Wolfe chose to serve in part because of his father’s example.

“His father is a deputy sheriff in the county next to mine and Andy wanted to follow in that footsteps and serve his nation as a National Guardsman,” Moore told Fox News.

Both Wolfe and Beckstrom were shot in a targeted attack last week after being deployed to Washington, D.C., as part of the administration’s efforts to reduce crime in the city.

The alleged shooter, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, was arrested after the incident.

Lakanwal is an Afghan migrant who entered the United States during the Biden-Harris administration.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt issued a statement Monday:

“Here are the facts. The terrorist who gunned down American soldiers just blocks away from the White House in an ambush was an Afghan national who was flown into our country by Joe Biden’s administration in September 2021 in the chaotic wake of their botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. One of the most embarrassing moments in the history of our great country.

Joe Biden’s historic failure in Afghanistan continues to haunt this country and our men and women in uniform. Not only did this surrender lead to a suicide bombing that killed 13 American heroes in Kabul, but now National Guard troops were shot on US soil by the same kind of enemy. We continue to live with the deadly consequences of Joe Biden’s horrific leadership.

Nearly 100,000 Afghans were recklessly released into the United States with little to no vetting. There was no regard for the disorder and violence that this would unleash on American communities and American culture. Reportedly, thousands of these strangers and unknown individuals were flagged to the Biden administration for national security, public safety, and fraud concerns.

But the terrifying truth is that the Afghanistan debacle is just a small part of Democrats’ complete and total betrayal of the American people during the Biden years.”

Tim Walz Fraud Scandal Explodes as 400+ MN Gov Employees Blow the Whistle

Tim Walz Fraud Scandal Explodes as 400+ MN Gov Employees Blow the Whistle

/

More than 400 employees at the Minnesota Department of Human Services have accused Gov. Tim Walz of ignoring repeated warnings about fraud and retaliating against staff who attempted to report the misconduct.

The allegations were posted by the Minnesota Department of Human Service Employees account on X, which states it represents more than 480 current DHS staff members.

The group wrote that Walz is “100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota.”

In the post, the employees said their attempts to alert the governor to ongoing fraud were met with pushback.

“We let Tim Walz know of fraud early on, hoping for a partnership in stopping fraud but no, we got the opposite response. Tim Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression, and did his best to discredit fraud reports,” the statement said.

The account also claimed the governor weakened oversight mechanisms.

“In addition to retaliating against whistleblower[s], Tim Walz disempowered the Office of the Legislative Auditor, allowing agencies to disregard their audit findings and guidance.”

The allegations come as federal officials continue to prosecute what they describe as one of the largest COVID-era fraud cases in the country.

Last week, the Department of Justice announced charges against the 78th defendant tied to the Feeding Our Future scheme, which authorities say involved more than $250 million in stolen federal child nutrition funds.

More than 70 defendants have been convicted.

Many individuals charged in the scheme are members of Minnesota’s Somali community.

The New York Times reported that state and federal officials now view the Feeding Our Future case as part of a broader pattern.

According to law enforcement authorities cited by the Times, several fraud operations have expanded in parts of Minnesota’s Somali community over the past five years.

Investigators say multiple individuals created companies that billed state agencies for millions of dollars in social services that were never delivered.

City Journal published a report citing unnamed federal counterterrorism sources who claimed some stolen funds were transferred to Somalia and may have reached the group Al-Shabaab.

Walz addressed the matter at a press conference last week, saying the fraud “undermines trust in government,” and “undermines programs that are absolutely critical in improving quality of life.”

He added, “If you’re committing fraud, no matter where you come from, what you look like, what you believe, you are going to go to jail.”

The governor was questioned about the allegations Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

When asked if he takes responsibility for failing to stop the fraud, Walz said, “Well, certainly, I take responsibility for putting people in jail.”

He added that Minnesota’s status draws criminal activity.

“I will note, it’s not just Somalis. Minnesota is a generous state. Minnesota is a prosperous state, a well-run state. We’re AAA-bond rated. But that attracts criminals. Those people are going to jail. We’re doing everything we can. But to demonize an entire community on the actions of a few, it’s lazy,” he said.

President Donald Trump weighed in on the issue in a Nov. 21 Truth Social post, saying he would end temporary protected status for Somalis in Minnesota in response to “fraudulent money laundering activity.”

He wrote, “Send them back to where they came from. It’s OVER!”

 

West Virginia Communities Honor Guardsmen Targeted in Washington Shooting

West Virginia Communities Honor Guardsmen Targeted in Washington Shooting

/

West Virginia communities gathered this week to honor two National Guard members shot in Washington, underscoring the state’s enduring commitment to the men and women who serve. The fallen was Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, 20, while Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, remains hospitalized after Wednesday’s assault.

Wolfe’s condition was described Friday by Governor Patrick Morrisey as “very critical.” In the line of duty, these two West Virginia heroes were deployed to Washington to bolster public safety and protect the nation’s capital.

These protections are more than a routine mission; they embody the resolve of a state and a nation that will not yield to violence.

Morrisey’s office announced a proclamation calling on all West Virginians to observe a statewide moment of silence or prayer on Friday afternoon to honor Wolfe and Beckstrom. In addition, Morrisey ordered flags to be flown at half-staff in recognition of Beckstrom’s death.

“These two West Virginia heroes were serving our country and protecting our nation’s capital when they were maliciously attacked,” Morrisey said. “Their courage and commitment to duty represent the very best of our state.” The strongest tribute a community can offer is to reaffirm its gratitude and its readiness to stand with the families who bear the cost of service.

The story rippled through small towns as well, with a Thanksgiving night vigil at a wall honoring veterans in Webster Springs drawing a few dozen locals who stood bundled against the chill. In moments like these, the state is reminded that service comes with sacrifice, and the call to duty extends beyond the battlefield.

Beckstrom’s life reflected a blend of duty and compassion. The Webster County High School graduate, who earned honors in 2023, joined the National Guard a few weeks later and served with distinction as a military police officer with the 863rd Military Police Company.

Beckstrom “exemplified leadership, dedication and professionalism,” the West Virginia National Guard stated, adding that she “volunteered to serve as part of Operation D.C. Safe and Beautiful, helping to ensure the safety and security of our nation’s capital.”

These words describe a young woman who wore camouflage with the same sense she wore empathy for others, a testament to her big heart.

Beckstrom’s family expressed their sorrow in a way that reminded many of the cost of service. Her father posted on social media that it was a horrible tragedy, and the loss has touched people far beyond Beckstrom’s hometown. The outpouring of support continues as communities honor her memory and the commitment she showed daily.

On the national stage, President Donald Trump spoke of Beckstrom in terms many veterans and families find meaningful. He called Beckstrom an “incredible person, outstanding in every single way.” That simple tribute from the president underscored a broader truth about national service: every sacrifice strengthens the republic and renews the public’s trust in those who answer the call.

The tale of Wolfe is equally compelling for a different reason. A friend and classmate spoke of a life that grew from curiosity to meaningful labor, noting Wolfe’s path from Musselman High School in 2019 to a role where he could serve both nation and local community.

“As long as she was with people who cared about her, she was having a good time,” Carr told the newspaper as he reflected on Beckstrom’s approach to service and friendship.

Wolfe, who serves with the 167th Force Support Squadron, has worked as a lineman with Frontier Communications since early 2023.

Frontier Communications stated that Wolfe “is a valuable member of our team, working hard to bring high-speed fiber internet to homes and businesses so everyone can stay connected to essential services and fully participate in the digital economy.”

The company’s tribute highlighted the practical value of service and the role of technology in keeping communities resilient and connected, especially in challenging times.

The community’s remembrance extended to Wolfe’s school, where Berkeley County officials noted his accomplishments.

Wolfe graduated from Musselman High School in 2019, and Principal Alicia Riggleman recalled a student who was “engaged and high-achieving,” someone who “embodied the Applemen spirit, contributing positively to our school community both academically and athletically.”

Such memories reinforce the belief that leadership and character form the core of public life.

In Summersville, officials announced plans for a candlelight vigil honoring Beckstrom, a sign of how local government and residents value sacrifice as much as achievement. Sheriff Rob Blair and others urged prayers for Wolfe’s recovery as the nation considers national defense and public safety in a wider political context.

This tragedy arrives at a moment when the country is focused on a robust national security posture, and it presents a test for the nation’s leadership.

The Trump administration, along with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s approach to defense and readiness, has consistently emphasized strengthening the guard, modernizing capabilities, and ensuring that law enforcement and military personnel can perform their duties with the backing of a resolute national strategy.

The lives of Beckstrom and Wolfe remind Americans that security at home depends on a determined, well-equipped force and the political will to support them.

In that sense, their stories are not only about sorrow but also about resolve, and about a country that chooses to honor and empower those who stand at the front lines to protect our communities.

Two Sisters Killed While Saving Disabled Father From Thanksgiving House Fire

Two Sisters Killed While Saving Disabled Father From Thanksgiving House Fire

/

A Thanksgiving celebration in the City of Orange, New Jersey, ended in tragedy Thursday when two sisters died while helping their disabled father escape a house fire. Authorities said the blaze broke out around 5 p.m. at a home on Mosswood Avenue near Tremont Avenue, as reported by The New York Post.

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office identified the victims as 49-year-old Frantzia Fleury and 42-year-old Pojanee Fleury.

According to investigators, the sisters were attempting to guide their father out of the burning home when they were overtaken by flames.

Their father escaped without injury, along with six other individuals who were inside the residence at the time.

Emergency responders pronounced both sisters dead at the scene at 6:45 p.m., prosecutors said.

Pojanee Fleury is described on her personal website as a publisher, author, and inventor. She wrote the memoir “Who’s Going to Invent That, You?”, which chronicled her experiences and challenges in becoming an inventor.

The African Immigrants’ Commission of New York and Connecticut posted a message on Facebook honoring her work and community presence.

“Pj was a great selfless community leader, and a dedicated community servant. We are extremely sad,” the organization wrote. “She will be missed dearly.”

Frantzia Fleury was a radiologic technologist at Clara Maass Medical Center in Belleville, New Jersey, according to her LinkedIn profile.

Nearly nine years ago — the day after Thanksgiving in 2016 — she shared a photo of herself with her arm around her father, captioned with the hashtag “#DaddysGirl.”

Neighbors described the family as friendly and well-liked. One resident who spoke with WPIX said, “I just came here to look, and then I see the whole fire. That’s heartbreaking, and on Thanksgiving, that’s hard. That’s really hard.”

Another neighbor, Matthew Mehr, told WABC he consistently had positive interactions with the family. “I just know that they kept their yard really nice and whenever I would go for a walk or run, they were super friendly,” he said.

Authorities said the cause of the fire remained under investigation as of Friday. No additional details about the origin of the blaze or the condition of the property were released.

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office is asking anyone with information to contact investigators as they continue examining the circumstances surrounding the fatal fire.

Elton John Says What Could Make President Trump ‘One of the Greatest Presidents in History’

/

Elton John said in an interview published this week that President Donald Trump could become “one of the greatest presidents in history” if he were to succeed in ending the AIDS epidemic, a goal the singer described as achievable due to bipartisan support and medical advancements, as reported by Breitbart.

Speaking with Variety, the “Rocketman” artist discussed his work addressing HIV/AIDS through global initiatives and praised support from leaders in both parties.

WASHINGTON – February 22, 2025: President Donald Trump arrives at the White House South Lawn on Marine One after his visit to CPAC.

John referenced a congressional delegation he led to South Africa, noting the level of agreement among lawmakers. “Lindsey Graham said it was the best bang for your buck you could possibly get,” John said.

John told the outlet that bipartisan cooperation on AIDS efforts “makes common sense” and pointed to decades of scientific advances.

“To see us come so far with the medical and scientific advances, and to think this is the only disease that can be completely cured in one’s lifetime,” he said.

“President Trump has maybe solved the peace problem. If he wants to go down as one of the greatest presidents in history … if he ended AIDS, that would really be a feather in his cap.”

Although the singer has never endorsed Trump and declined an invitation to perform at his 2016 inauguration, John acknowledged in a past interview that he found humor in one of the president’s widely discussed remarks.

Trump famously referred to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as “Little Rocket Man” in 2017, a public nickname referencing John’s hit song “Rocket Man.”

“I laughed. I thought that was brilliant. I just thought, ‘Good on you, Donald.’ I’ve always been friendly toward him and I thank him for his support,” John said.

Shortly after the Variety interview drew attention, John posted on Instagram to clarify that his comments should not be interpreted as support for the president.

“Part of an interview I gave … is being taken out of context and falsely misconstrued as a personal endorsement of Donald Trump,” he wrote.

“It’s not. I was simply acknowledging the fact that Trump has long been a fan of my music, and that historically he’s been very kind to me about that.”

John added that he does not use his platform to direct his audience’s political decisions.

“I don’t go on stage and say to people, ‘you mustn’t vote for the Republicans, you mustn’t vote for the Democrats.’ It’s none of my business how they vote,” he said.

The interview marks one of the singer’s most direct comments regarding Trump’s presidency, though he reiterated that his views were limited to the administration’s posture toward AIDS research and his personal interactions with the president over the years.

Brooke Rollins Launches Major Overhaul to Stop SNAP Waste and Back U.S. Farmers

/

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is preparing a broad reform effort aimed at reshaping spending within its nutrition programs and increasing support for American farmers, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said this week.

The initiative centers on redirecting money toward healthier, American-grown food options and improving the efficiency of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

Rollins discussed the plans Wednesday during an appearance on “Mornings with Maria,” describing the existing SNAP framework as “out of control” and noting that the agency is evaluating how nutrition dollars are used across multiple programs.

She said the USDA intends to increase purchases of fruits, proteins, and specialty crops from American producers as part of the administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” initiative backed by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

“More coming on that early next year as we begin to shift how we’re buying food, and really supporting the American farmers,” Rollins said.

According to Rollins, the USDA oversees approximately “$400 million a day across 16 nutrition programs.”

She said strengthening the nutritional value of food purchased through these programs is a key priority, with an emphasis on reducing chronic disease and directing funds toward domestically grown products.

The department plans to expand the presence of American-grown fruits and specialty crops in school lunches and food banks as part of the shift.

The changes follow heightened attention on SNAP during the most recent government shutdown.

Funding for the program neared depletion, prompting questions about its long-term stability and oversight.

In response, the USDA has pledged to intensify fraud prevention measures and will require participants to reapply for benefits to ensure program integrity.

Rollins also said the department is working on a “bridge package” of financial support designed to help farmers manage economic pressures heading into the next planting and harvesting seasons.

She noted that she has held discussions with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and expects additional details to be released soon.

“It’s just a bridge to get us to next year for the president’s promise that he wasn’t [going to] leave any of our farmers behind,” Rollins said.

Farmers, she added, are experiencing significant strain as they plan their operations for the coming year.

The USDA is aiming to deliver certainty quickly, particularly for producers navigating tight credit conditions.

“For the farmers who are figuring out their planting and harvesting for next year, they need that certainty now as their banks are calling,” Rollins said.

“It’s been a really, really tough few years out in the farmland for our farmers,” she said.

Trump Addresses Nation After National Guardsmen Ambushed by Afghan National in DC

/

President Donald Trump addressed the country on Wednesday following a shooting in Washington, D.C., that left three people wounded, including two members of the West Virginia National Guard.

The incident occurred in the vicinity of the White House and prompted immediate responses from federal and local authorities.

The president said the attack was reportedly carried out by an Afghan national who entered the United States in 2021 under President Joe Biden.

Trump described the shooting as “a crime against our nation.”

“This heinous assault was an act of evil and act of hatred and an act of terror,” Trump said.

“It was a crime against our entire nation. It was a crime against humanity. Americans tonight are with those two West Virginian National Guard and their families.”

Trump said the individual responsible would face consequences.

He also said the Department of Homeland Security believes the suspect was brought into the country during the 2021 evacuation from Afghanistan.

“He was flown in by the Biden administration in September 2021,” Trump said.

“Nobody knew who was coming in. Nobody knew anything about it. His status was extended by legislation that was signed by President Biden. A disastrous president – the worst in the history of our country.”

Trump called for vetting of individuals brought from Afghanistan during that time.

Federal agencies have not yet released additional information about the suspect’s immigration status beyond acknowledging an active investigation.

Breitbart News reported that three people were shot on Wednesday afternoon, leading to a temporary lockdown at the White House.

WJLA reported that the alleged shooter was taken into custody.

The Associated Press reported that the conditions of the injured Guardsmen were not yet known. The Joint DC Task Force confirmed that the shooting occurred “in the vicinity of the White House.”

The New York Times reported that the incident took place near the entrance to the Farragut West Metro Station.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth called the act “cowardly” and said it will “only stiffen our resolve to ensure that we make Washington D.C. safe and beautiful.”
