On the recordJune 9, 2025
I would say that had the Biden administration adequately screened this individual, this murderer, if they had screened him the way they should have, if our borders had been operating correctly, if they looked at his social media, they would have known that he consistently posted anti-Semitic videos. He consistently posted violence. He would have been denied, and all this wouldn't have happened. How simple is that? Is this too complex for us in Washington? Maybe it is just too much simple truth.
