On November 26, two West Virginia National Guard members were ambushed and shot near Farragut West in Washington, D.C., in an attack that left Spc. Sarah Beckstrom dead and Sgt. Andrew Wolfe gravely wounded. The scene — two blocks from the White House — was a chilling reminder that our men and women in uniform face danger even while protecting our capital.
Authorities say the suspect is an Afghan national who was brought to the United States during the chaotic resettlement programs after America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, and has been charged in connection with the shooting as investigators probe possible terrorism links. This is not the ordinary criminal act the left wants you to believe; the background and timeline scream policy failure that put dangerous people on our soil.
President Trump moved quickly, calling the attack an act of terror and requesting an additional 500 National Guard troops to secure the capital, while the administration announced steps to pause certain asylum decisions tied to the Afghan resettlement. Americans who voted for strength and order welcome a leader who acts — the alternative is a soft, sorry policy that hands our streets and our servicemembers to chaos.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt went on Sean Hannity to make the obvious point: we must not forget the threats that were allowed in under prior Biden-era policies, and Democrats who downplay those risks are playing politics with blood. Leavitt’s blunt condemnation of those who would excuse lax vetting is exactly the kind of tough talk patriots expect from this White House.
Make no mistake: this episode exposes the rotten logic of open-borders cheerleading. For years Democrats have insisted more immigration at all costs is a virtue; now that one of those brought in allegedly attacked our troops, their reflex is to lawyer and excuse instead of reckon and reform. Americans deserve leaders who put citizens and security first, not political cover for dangerous policies.
If you love this country, you stand with the Guard and demand accountability — for how this individual entered the country, who signed off on the programs that allowed it, and which officials will be held responsible. The administration’s moves to scrutinize Afghan arrivals are a first step; Republicans in Congress and every governor who values public safety must press for full transparency and swift removals where warranted.
We must also honor the sacrifice of Spc. Sarah Beckstrom and pray for Sgt. Andrew Wolfe’s recovery while holding the line against those who would turn this into a Democrat talking point. This is not politics as usual — it is a test of whether America will defend its people and its borders or surrender them to the whims of woke elites who think virtue-signaling is a substitute for security.
