Congressman says ‘Afghan refugees not being vetted for social media extremism’

Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI) discusses the threat that refugees fleeing from Afghanistan pose to the national security of the United States, saying that when the Wisconsin delegation went to visit refugee camp at Fort McCoy last week, out of 10,000 people being housed there, ‘none, not one, were on a special immigration visa’ meaning that ‘Homeland Security is not doing their job in terms of vetting’, a concern that Members of Congress had expressed before the Afghanistan Withdrawal. The Congressman goes on to explain that the ‘Biden administration, the State Department are not doing any checks on social media’, explaining that is ‘the number one places you can find what peoples true beliefs are’.

And an Exclusive interview with Former Congressman Lee Hamilton (D-IN) who discusses the importance of bipartisan legislation and working with different parties across the aisle as, nothing of “lasting value’ can be accomplished inside ‘our complicated government unless it is done in a bi-partisan way’. He also speaks on the Afghanistan withdrawal saying, with all of the problems going on in the country currently, ‘leadership needs to sit down and spell out precisely’ what is in the ‘best interest of the United States’.
