In a stunning display of Democrat detachment from reality, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) downplayed a brutal terrorist attack by an unvetted Afghan national as nothing more than an “unfortunate accident” during a heated House Homeland Security Committee hearing.
This blatant dismissal of American bloodshed—perpetrated by a violent individual allowed to enter the country under Biden’s treasonous regime—drew immediate fire from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
The fireworks erupted during Noem’s testimony on global security threats, where Thompson pressed her on the department’s handling of Lakanwal’s case. Instead of acknowledging the gravity, Thompson casually referred to the deadly shooting as an “unfortunate accident.”
Thompson, scrambling under the scrutiny, later backpedaled to call it an “unfortunate situation”—but the damage was done. His words exposed the callous indifference that has defined Democrat immigration stances: downplaying terror to shield failed policies that cost American lives.
Noem, defending the Trump administration’s tough vetting reforms, blamed the initial lapses squarely on Biden’s crew, refusing to let the left rewrite history.
This isn’t just tone-deaf; it’s dangerous. Thompson, as ranking member, should be championing protections for U.S. troops, not minimizing attacks by foreign radicals. His comments echo the broader leftist playbook—excusing threats from unassimilated migrants while demonizing efforts to secure the homeland.
The fallout was swift and furious. Americans across the board are now demanding Thompson resign.
