JD Vance Blasts Margaret Brennan Over Claim Afghan Refugees Let Into U.S. Are ‘Vetted’

Vice President JD Vance slammed left-leaning host Margaret Brennan during an interview that aired on Sunday for claiming that Afghan refugees who were admitted into the U.S. under former President Joe Biden were “vetted.”

Vance made the remarks during an appearance on the network’s “Face The Nation” show.

“I don’t agree that all these immigrants, or all these refugees have been properly vetted,” Vance said. “In fact, we know that there are cases of people who allegedly were properly vetted and then were literally planning terrorist attacks in our country.”

“That happened during the campaign, if you may remember,” he continued. “So, clearly, not all of these foreign nationals have been properly vetted.”

“My primary concern as the vice president, Margaret, is to look after the American people,” he added. “And now that we know that we have vetting problems with a lot of these refugee programs, we absolutely cannot unleash thousands of unvetted people into our country. It’s not good.”

Brennan then falsely claimed that all of the Afghan migrants were “vetted.”

“These people are vetted,” she claimed. “These people are vetted.”

Vance responded: “Just like the guy who planned a terrorist attack in Oklahoma a few months ago? He was allegedly properly vetted, and many people in the media and the Democratic Party said that he was properly vetted. Clearly, he wasn’t.”

“I don’t want my children to share a neighborhood with people who are not properly vetted,” he continued. “And because I don’t want it for my kids, I’m not going to force any other American citizens’ kids to do that either.”

Brennan then tried to argue that the terrorist could have been radicalized in the U.S. so it may not have mattered whether he was vetted.

“I don’t really care, Margaret,” Vance responded. “I don’t want that person in my country, and I think most Americans agree with me.”

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
