Former DNC Chair Blames Trump For National Guard Shooting

Former Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairwoman, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), attempted to blame President Donald Trump for the deadly shooting that took place in Washington, D.C., the day before Thanksgiving.

The suspect is an Afghan national, let into the United States during former President Joe Biden’s administration after the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, who opened fire on National Guard troops in the nation’s capital. One, SPC. Sarah Beckstrom of West Virginia, has died as a result of her injuries. But according to Wasserman Schultz, Trump was to blame for the horrific ambush attack.

Wasserman Schultz, responding to President Trump’s plan to go back and revisit the vetting process for the Afghan nationals who were brought into the United States as refugees, noted that in order for someone to have slipped through the cracks, there had to have been failures at a number of levels.

“We need to make sure that we have tight and appropriate and proper vetting. If there were gaps that admitted this person, they would have failed over multiple levels of gaps, and this individual was trusted enough to participate in assisting our military during the war in Afghanistan,” Wasserman Schultz said.

She then pivoted to blame Trump, adding, “The president looks everywhere except inward to blame his own policies. We need to make sure that we don’t have our military deployed in our cities, handling law enforcement responsibilities, and we need to make sure that we address gun violence. We certainly need to make sure that we always have the proper and appropriate and tight vetting processes and those should be reviewed, but it’s never the president’s fault or his policies when it comes to his reaction, and it’s pretty disgusting.”

What Wasserman Schultz failed to acknowledge, however, was the fact that people like Pentagon spokesman and Army Ranger veteran Sean Parnell had sounded the alarm even at the time, warning that some Afghans who had been trusted and had worked with American troops on the ground had betrayed them when it mattered.
