On average, Democratic lawmakers are some of the lowest forms of life on the planet – true cretins among cretins. But every now and then, one of them out-cretins the whole party. Today, it was Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the former chairman of the politicized House Jan. 6 Committee.
During a hearing with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent, Thompson referred to the terror attack on two West Virginia National Guardsmen — carried out by an Afghan refugee the Biden administration waved into the country — as an “unfortunate accident.” It’s what happens when protecting a narrative becomes more important to Democrats than protecting American lives.
He then tried the oldest, laziest trick in the Democrat playbook: blame Trump.
Incredibly, he pressed Secretary Noem to point the finger at the Trump administration for the vetting failure — even though the Afghan national in question entered the United States under Joe Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome, the slapdash resettlement program launched after Biden’s humiliating and deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan.
This was Biden’s policy. Biden’s evacuation. Biden’s broken vetting process:

“Point of order, Mr. Chairman, that was a murder that took place in D.C., it was not an unfortunate incident. And those comments are f’in disrespectful. I expect better from the…” a Republican House member is heard saying.
The insanity doesn’t end there. Democrats are so allergic to accountability that they’re now blaming President Trump for a terrorist attack carried out by an Afghan refugee their administration let into the country. Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia actually argued — with a straight face — that the Guardsmen wouldn’t have been shot if they hadn’t been deployed to deter crime in Washington, D.C.
Think about that logic: According to Kaine and other Democrats the problem isn’t the terrorist. It isn’t Biden’s catastrophic vetting failure. It isn’t the open-border ideology that let a dangerous individual stroll into America.
No, the real culprit — in their minds — is Trump for deploying troops to protect a Democrat-run city drowning in crime:

You’d think a terrorist attack on U.S. service members — one dead, another fighting for his life — would be enough to bring Washington together around a basic, uncontroversial goal: fix the policies that allowed this to happen. At the very least, you’d expect a moment of unity, a shared commitment to prevent it from happening again.
But no. Democrats can’t even manage that.
Instead of forming a unified front or offering real solutions, they’re still scrambling for cheap political shots at President Trump. Democrats are beyond sick. They’re broken.
