Old Clips Prove JD Vance’s Afghan Refugee Fears Were Justified: ‘They Shouldn’t Have Been in Our Country’

Old video clips of Vice President JD Vance have resurfaced across social media following a horrific terror attack linked to an Afghan refugee on Wednesday— and for good reason.

They provide an illuminating light following a violent strike on two National Guard members serving in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday. Both National Guardsmen remain in critical condition as of the latest reporting, after being ambushed by a gunman identified as 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal.

Lakanwal, according to CNN, entered the United States on a temporary visa issued to him in 2021 under Operation Allies Welcome, a program designed to coordinate the evacuation, processing, and resettlement of vulnerable Afghan nationals in the aftermath of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Some of those Afghan nationals had worked alongside U.S. forces.

Vance, even during his time as a Senate candidate in Ohio, expressed valid concerns about resettling Afghan refugees. There was no proper vetting process in place, and the botched military withdrawal under former President Biden was expediting the process to unsafe levels.

One of the earlier examples of that involved Vance, who had just entered the political arena, getting into a dustup with then-Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE), whose oft-squishy views on bringing refugees into the United States had put them at odds with one another.

Sasse, as Biden's failed withdrawal was heating up, argued that the United States had an obligation to help those who had helped the country, urging the Biden administration to "go faster and save the Americans and Afghan allies behind enemy lines."

Vance, though, dismissed Sasse's "ridiculous platitude" and pointed out that America should keep its word, but must prioritize America first.

"Of course, nobody disagrees with that … the question is not whether we honor our word," he said. "The question is, who we made promises to, who do we owe an obligation toward? And to any leader of this country, the obvious answer should be American citizens. So, let's focus first on getting them out of Afghanistan before we say another word about the Afghan refugees."

Another clip making the rounds is Vance's tussle with CBS News' Margaret Brennan in his first interview since becoming Vice President. Brennan, practically parroting the Biden White House, had insisted that people coming into the country had been adequately vetted.

Vance immediately turned Brennan's argument on its head by pointing to a planned terrorist attack on Election Day in 2024 by an Afghan national residing in Oklahoma City. That attack was thwarted, thankfully.

The back-and-forth argument—and by that I mean something akin to an argument between a hammer and a nail, with Vance serving as the hammer—led to the Vice President's viral retort, "I don't really care, Margaret."

"That was a very particular case. It wasn't clear if he was radicalized when he got here or while he was living here, but..." Brennan argued.

Vance replied, "I don't really care, Margaret. I don't want that person in my country, and I think most Americans agree with me."

They likely agree at a much higher rate, considering the latest terrorist attack on the National Guard.

The Vice President, in X posts following the National Guard attack, pointed out the obvious. He was right. Trump voters were right. Any American with more than three operational brain cells was right.

Bringing unvetted Afghan refugees into the country was a bad idea. Any promises to them should have been secondary at best to those made regarding the safety and security of the American people.

"I remember back in 2021 criticizing the Biden policy of opening the floodgate to unvetted Afghan refugees. Friends sent me messages calling me a racist. It was a clarifying moment," Vance wrote. "They shouldn't have been in our country."

The 2028 frontrunner said the Trump administration would work tirelessly to continue packing the bags of any people illegally in the United States.

"Many of our voters will demand not just words, but action, and this is an entirely appropriate response," Vance explained. "We will first bring the shooter to justice, and then we must redouble our efforts to deport people with no right to be in our country."

President Trump, in an address to the nation's military on Thanksgiving Eve, echoed those sentiments, saying his administration would "re-examine every single alien who has entered our country from Afghanistan under Biden."

Trump and Vance will need to keep working to clean up the mess that Biden and his minions helped usher in—no letting off the gas now. These two National Guard members deserve a ruthlessly aggressive reset on the invasion that led to their attacker getting into this country in the first place.

From X per ColonelTowner-Watkins:

This will ruffled some feathers but at this point, don’t care.
Despite what the CIA agent said on Lara Logan’s show recently, Venezuela isn’t the drug trafficking capital of the world. It actually was much more involved in trafficking when the CIA was using it as a hub before Chavez. They had Sicilian mafia hanging out both there and Aruba running massive amounts of drugs. They also had their fair share of Cuba exiles working with the CIA Cuban exiles in Miami.
Narcotics are a multi trillion dollar business. It’s a cash business. They move trillions of dollars around. Moving trillions of dollars around leaves trails but the Fed can’t figure it out despite Miami and LA Fed reserve branches having the largest deposits of dollars on hand for decades, they claim they had no idea that entire banks had been bought and used as a laundromat. They knew, as did the Treasury, etc.
Everyone has their own “theory” about 9/11 but there is one FACT that can’t be argued. After AFG 1 in the 80’s (CIA instigated despite what you were taught), the opium production skyrocketed for years in AFG. After the Taliban takes over (the guys you are programmed to hate) and eradicates virtually all opium that the tribal warlords are producing. The Taliban outlaws sex with boys. The CIA sponsored drug/tribe leaders are pissed.
9/11 happens and we’re back in AFG, attacking the Taliban. Not the narco tribal chiefs that has sex with little boys and grow poppy, we attack the Taliban that outlawed that. Just ask grok for a chart of opium production from 1990 to 2010. It’s crazy.
Why am I telling you this?
Because the AFG CIA asset that just shot 2 guardsmen is an Afghani who was part of the drug trafficking, sex with little boys club fighting with the CIA against the Taliban.
He knew exactly what he was doing. The CIA trains these ppl to kill their fellow countrymen so the CIA can traffic their drugs.
This isn’t a conspiracy one off either, it started in 1948 with Chiang in China, Burma and then we basically stole Formosa from China and installed a military dictator there that ran a massive drug trafficking network through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam under martial law for decades.
And yes, many of those Laotians, Vietnamese that trafficked drugs, worked with the CIA to do it were brought here. Many were assassins and have killed ppl. Many of them form domestic drug rings for the distribution network here. There is no better example than all the Cuban exiles, Brigade 2506, Aloha 66 assassins, domestic drug traffickers all protected by the CIA. Used in overseas operations as well as domestically. There are entire books written on how these networks are protected by the DOJ, DEA, FBI, ATF, CIA, etc to prey on us with drugs and known terrorists they import to run their networks.
I’ve spent the last 3 yrs documenting all of this. Those two guardsmen were shot by a guy the CIA vouched for, who was recruited to assist an invading force (US) in his home country to facilitate opium for their covert network and so his fellow countrymen could have sex with boys. He’s viewed by the current government as a traitor bc he was a traitor to AFG regardless of your feelings of the Taliban.
Sometimes you don’t have a choice of a good and bad guy (you know, like our elections). Sometimes it’s bad and less bad.
Every single time, the CIA picks the horrifically bad over the opponent. Every. Time.
Millions are dead around the world as a result of their efforts and the syndicate they work for doing this and bringing these terrorist back to the U.S. for later use.
Domestically.
PS. Any journalist using a CIA “whistleblower” who hasn’t had multiple attempts on his life isn’t a whistleblower.
Also, the book was published. If they are true whistleblowers not only would the book not be published, they would be sued into bankruptcy.
There’s a reason they are making the circuit right now. Timing is everything. The real truth is coming out.
