President Donald Trump did not hold back when a reporter questioned him Thursday about the suspect in the violent attack on two U.S. National Guard members.
According to Fox News, the reporter was CBS News White House correspondent Nancy Cordes, the outlet said Friday.
Cordes asked the president about reports the suspect in the case, 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, was vetted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) before he was permitted to enter the country from Afghanistan.
Cordes asked the president why he was blaming former President Joe Biden (D) for the situation, stating, “Your DOJ IG just reported this year that there was thorough vetting by DHS and by the FBI of these Afghans who were brought into the U.S., so why do you blame the Biden administration?”
However, the president told her, “Because they let him in. Are you stupid? Are you a stupid person? Because they came in on a plane along with thousands of other people that shouldn’t be here. And you’re just asking questions, because you’re a stupid person.”
“There’s a law passed, it’s almost impossible not to get them out. You can’t get them out once they come in,” he added:
