Dem Rep. Crow on Boulder, Colorado Attack: A Visa Overstay Has Nothing to Do with the Border

BOLDUAN: “Yeah. The attorney general says they‘re going to prosecute that man to the fullest extent of the law. The president condemned the attack and then turned and blamed Biden, saying in part of his social media post about it, congressman, saying that this man came in through Biden‘s ridiculous open border policy. I mean, the suspect, according to DHS, is here illegally, applied for asylum, denied, and then overstayed a visa. What‘s your reaction to the president‘s take here? I mean, what do you think needs to happen now?”
CROW: “Well, President Trump routinely just attacks his opponents when terrible things happen. And that‘s not leadership. That‘s not the type of leadership that the president needs. Of course we need answers. We need answers about the visa overstay, and a visa overstay is not — has nothing to do with the border. You know, I believe in border security, we need border security, but in this incident, it doesn‘t look like that is what is at play here at all. And we need to enforce the laws, there‘s no doubt about it. But President Trump has been president for nearly six months now, and I want to know why an attack that had been planned for the entirety of that time was missed. You know, what should have been seen, what were the warning signals, what did the FBI know, what the FBI didn‘t know — we do need some answers to all of these questions.”
BOLDUAN: “Some important questions I have not really heard raised quite yet, that you are raising now, important questions as part of a lot that still needs to be answered around all of this, congressman.”
