Following two separate fatal attacks on New Year's Day, Republican leaders are connecting the incidents to President Biden's border policies, despite the FBI finding no link between the events.
Republican leaders, including House Speaker Mike Johnson and President-elect Donald Trump's incoming border czar Tom Homan, are linking the recent fatal New Orleans attack and the Tesla Cybertruck explosion—both carried out by U.S. citizens who served in the Army—to President Joe Biden 's 'open border' policies.Newsweek has reached out to the White House and Johnson's press team for comment via email on Thursday.
The FBI said today that there was 'no definitive link' between the New Orleans attack and the Cybertruck explosion outside a Trump hotel in Las Vegas. Law enforcement officers have made no statements connecting the attacks to immigration or border security.Both suspects are U.S. citizens who have served at the same Army base in North Carolina, Fort Liberty, formerly known as Fort Bragg. The suspect in the Nevada attack was an active-duty Army member. Their assignments at the base did not overlap, officials told the Associated Press.Following the attacks, Trump, who has repeatedly pledged to crackdown on immigration, initiate mass deportations, and enhance border security, posted on social media this morning: 'With the Biden 'Open Borders' Policy' I said, many times during Rallies, and elsewhere, that Radical Islamic Terrorism, and other forms of violent crime, will become so bad in America that it will become hard to even imagine or believe. That time has come, only worse than ever imagined.'In a Wednesday post, Trump said: 'Our Country is a disaster, a laughing stock all over the World! This is what happens when you have OPEN BORDERS, with weak, ineffective, and virtually nonexistent leadership. The DOJ, FBI, and Democrat state and local prosecutors have not done their job.'Many Republican lawmakers are echoing similar rhetoric and sentiment in interviews and in social media posts.Two fatal attacks occurred on New Year's Day, one in Louisiana and the other in Nevad
