Speaker Mike Johnson falsely linked the New Orleans terror attack to U.S. immigration policy despite the attacker being a natural-born citizen and an Army veteran.
Johnson criticized the Biden administration, stating, 'For four years now, the Biden administration has taken its eye off the ball... They tried to convince us the greatest threat to the homeland was racially motivated extremism.'
Despite reports retracting the attacker's immigration history, conservatives including Johnson continue to use the event to criticize the Biden administration's immigration policy.
Officials found an Islamic State flag in the attacker's truck, underlining a disconnect between the actual nature of the attack and the political narrative presented by some Republicans.
