Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro minced no words when he reacted to the Wednesday shooting of two National Guardsmen by an Afghan national near the White House. “These are the wages of Joe Biden’s awful foreign policy combined with his awful immigration policy,” Shapiro said. “Remember: Joe Biden decided that in perfectly cowardly and ignominious fashion, the United States was going to flee Afghanistan and leave the entire country in the hands of the Taliban.” Two National Guardsmen were shot in an apparent ambush. The suspect, an Afghan national named Rahmanullah Lakanwal, was also reportedly shot and taken into custody at the scene.

Ultimately blaming “Joe Biden’s cowardice and idiocy,” Shapiro explained, “The result of this is that you end up with terrorists in the United States — and you remember, the original goal of this entire operation was to keep terrorists out of the United States and, in fact, to deny a safe haven to terrorists in Afghanistan and to keep terrorists outside of America’s borders.” “It’s failure on top of failure on top of failure,” he added. “When you bring in huge numbers of people from countries that do not like the United States and whose cultures are, in fact, not assimilative to American values, then you can’t be surprised when stuff like this happens. You cannot.” “This one is on Joe Biden, pure and simple,” Shapiro concluded. “I don’t know who else to blame. Honestly. It is your job to make sure that some of the most predictably terror-minded people on earth don’t come into the United States.”
