Thursday’s White House press briefing appropriately had a central focus of late Wednesday’s landfall of Hurricane Milton on Florida’s Gulf Coast and tornadoes across the state, but the partisan shills chose to ask a slew of questions emphasizing about this vague “misinformation” campaign they claim has had catastrophic consequences in the south as somehow on part with apocalyptic physical devastation and incalculable loss of life and fortune.

Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich wasn’t having any of this. 

Instead, she asked an evasive, prickly, and seemingly unpleasant Mayorkas about the disturbing revelation this week of an Afghan refugee being charged with allegedly wanting to carry out an Election Day terror attack.

Heinrich laid out the discrepancies thus far between government agencies:

This Afghan national who was working for the CIA in Afghanistan, was arrested for planning an Election Day terror plot. He was brought to the US after Afghanistan collapsed, your agency says, as part of the SIV program. The State Department is telling us he was not part of the SIV program, which had strenuous vetting . They say he was never issued an SIV or immigrant visa, and DHS paroled him into the U.S. They further expect the court document to be updated to reflect this from the DOJ side. So, Mr. Secretary, how was this man brought into the U.S.? What screening did he undergo? What did he apply for to get here?
