White House defends Trump after Democrat blames him for DC National Guard attack
WASHINGTON, DC: The White House responded to Florida representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Saturday, November 29, after she blamed President Donald Trump for the recent attack on two members of the National Guard in Washington.
Spokesperson Abigail Jackson told The New York Post that the Democrats should join them and help protect the American people instead of placing blame on Trump for a “mess made by the Biden Administration.”
Abigail Jackson says Biden’s policies ‘allowed’ criminals to enter
Jackson called the suspected attacker, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an “animal” and said that he would never have been in America if it were not for Joe Biden’s “dangerous policies.”
“Which allowed countless unvetted criminals to invade our country and harm the American people,” she added.
Jackson further said the Trump administration was taking every possible measure “in the face of unrelenting Democrat opposition” to get such people out of America and clean up the mess that was created under Joe Biden’s presidency.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz's criticism of Donald Trump
During a CNN appearance on Friday, Debbie Wasserman Schultz criticized Donald Trump for deploying the National Guard in cities. She said that the president looked “everywhere” but inward and claimed that he should blame his own policies.
She put forth the question of whether anyone would fly across the country to target law enforcement officers in Washington, DC, and said that the answer was “likely no.”
Schultz also wondered why the president had not thought of reconsidering deploying military troops in the nation’s capital or any other city.
Criticizing the move further, Schultz she said they had not coordinated closely with the cities’ leaders.
“And when we have law enforcement that are quite capable of handling the criminal justice issues that are — that we need law enforcement to focus on, and not our military,” she said.
While Schultz agreed that America needed proper and tighter vetting processes, she said that it was “pretty disgusting” how it was “never the president’s fault or his policies when it comes to his reaction.”
The Florida representative further criticized Trump’s statements about reviewing Green Card holders from “19 countries of concern.”
She said that Trump had stopped immigrants from certain countries and claimed he made inaccurate generalizations about countries. She also alleged that not every individual should be assumed to be dangerous to be admitted into America.
