| Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst on Afghan Refugees: ‘We Want to Welcome Those Who are Fully Vetted' |
| 2021-08-24 |
| [Townhall] This week, Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst said Afghans being evacuated amid the Taliban recapture of Afghanistan will be welcomed in the United States as long as they’ve been "fully vetted." During an interview on ABC’s "This Week" segment, Ernst explained that she and her Republican colleagues want to welcome Afghan evacuees into the United States once they have been vetted and criticized Biden’s "haphazard" handling of our pullout from Afghanistan. "We want to welcome those that are fully vetted," Ernst said. "That is extremely important — that we make sure they are vetted before they touch down on American soil." |

| #9 Can't seem to vet the decision makers, so I'm sure decision makers doing vetting will do it. |

| #8 Stupid statements like that should trigger public outcry and/or demonstrations. Our ruling class aren't inept--they're our enemy. |

| #4 Pashtuns are seen as the primates of the islamic ummah in every islamic nation. They are often put to only menial work, kept away from animals, power tools and responsibility. They make good muscle, and bullet absorbers but they can't even clean stables without fcuking up [No pun]. At least that's what I was told by an Arab. |

| #1 "Fully vetted"... yes of course, just like those at the Southern border. Did she mention she was an AFG veteran. She always mentions that. |
