Biden's Afghan refugee vetting vows resurface: 'Care to circle back?'

Republican lawmakers and social media influencers are slamming former Biden administration officials who were adamant that Afghan refugees in 2021 were being properly vetted. In the wake of a shooting in Washington, D.C. involving an Afghan national, FBI Director Kash Patel said “zero” vetting was done.

“You miss all the signs when you do absolutely zero vetting — and that’s exactly what happened in this case,” Patel said at a Thursday press conference. “When the prior administration made the decision to allow thousands of people in without doing a single background check or vetting, that’s how you miss every single sign.”
