“The DHS is confident that the suspect in custody is a foreigner who entered our country from Afghanistan, a hell hole on Earth,” the president says.
President Donald Trump said he is sending 500 troops to Washington, D.C., on Wednesday after two National Guardsmen were shot in what officials are calling a “targeted” attack. He also used his Thanksgiving Eve speech to say he is going to “make America safe again” by re-examining all of the immigrants whom President Biden let into the country.
“This heinous assault was an act of evil and act of hatred and an act of terror. It was a crime against our entire nation. It was a crime against humanity. The hearts of all Americans tonight are with those two members of the West Virginia National Guard and their families, the love of our entire country is pouring out for them, and we are lifting them up in our prayers,” Trump said in a video posted to Truth Social. “As we are filled with anguish and grief for those who were shot, we’re also filled with righteous anger and ferocious resolve. As President of the United States, I am determined to ensure that the animal who perpetrated this atrocity pays the steepest possible price.”
“I can report tonight that, based on the best available information, the Department of Homeland Security is confident that the suspect in custody as a foreigner who entered our country from Afghanistan, a hell hole on Earth.
