This is why Otto Penn Potato’s staff of deviants and miscreants let 20 million invaders in.

They want chaos and the opportunity that brings to complete their coup on America.

Well, he said "almost". /s

The X responses today to Kristol's badly aged 2021 tweet are epic.

He entered in 2021. He was granted asylum in April 2025.

“He entered in 2021. He was granted asylum in April 2025.“

Yep. Questions are going to be raised as to why and how he was granted asylum earlier.

The idea that Afghans were “vetted” before entering the USA is absurd

They lived in a primitive culture, without records, without documents, and operated in a language Americans did not understand.

Obviously Trump’s fault for enforcing the law.

If true, that will make for an awkward discussion to say the least.

Here’s what’s actually documented:

•Suspect entered the U.S. on a Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) during Operation Allies Refuge, a process that began under Trump, was executed during the Biden withdrawal, and was supported by bipartisan votes in Congress.

• Suspect filed for asylum in late 2024 and was approved in April 2025 under the Trump administration, but asylum adjudication is handled by career officers following laws written and funded by multiple administrations.

• Both parties expanded, supported, or failed to reform the SIV and asylum systems that allowed this case to unfold the way it did.

Trying to turn this into a partisan attack misses the real issue because this wasn’t a “Democrat failure” or a “Republican failure.” It was a system failure decades in the making, and both sides helped build the system.

Bush started the war, Obama continued it, Trump expanded the SIV pipeline, Biden executed the withdrawal and processed the evacuees, Congress funded it under all four.

“The suspect has a home address in Washington State.”

Probably registered to vote in Washington state, and probably did actually vote.

What does all that have to do with the violence and discord that is being fomented by the ‘rats and their accomplices in the media?

That’s the issue.

You’re just trying to somehow find a way to include Trump when assigning blame.

Everybody here knows what you’re about.

The shooter, 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal is believed to be from Afghanistan and came to the United States in 2021 through Operation Allies Welcome, a Biden administration program that evacuated and resettled tens of thousands of Afghans after the U.S. withdrawal from the country.

Lakanwal applied for asylum in 2024 and was granted asylum in April 2025, under the Trump administration, according to three law enforcement sources.

CBS and the Associated Press have verified the alleged shooter is from Bellingham, Washington. Lakamal arrived in Bellingham, Washington, about 79 miles (127.1 kilometers) north of Seattle, with his wife and five children, said his former landlord Kristina Widman. KIRO 7 spoke to neighbors in Bellingham who believe they knew the suspect’s family, and described them as kind and quiet.

I have questions: Is Lakanwal still living in Bellingham? If so, how did Lakanwal get the enhanced I.D. necessary to fly from Washington State to Washington D.C.? How was he able to buy a gun?

He was granted asylum in April 2025. In fairness, Biden isn’t the only one who has blood on his hands.

President Trump announces that EVERY AFGHAN let in under Biden will now have their status "reexamined."
Don't limit the examination to only Afghans.
