Jen Psaki in 2021: ‘I Can Absolutely ASSURE You’ Afghan Refugees Are Being Thoroughly Vetted (VIDEO)

November 30, 2025

Jen Psaki at the White House – Screencap of Twitter/X video.

Following the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, DC by an Afghan refugee, many people are asking how we ended up with so many refugees from Afghanistan and why we had so little intel about them.

First, we were forced to take in thousands of these people because of the disastrous way Joe Biden withdrew our troops from the country. Secondly, things were done so quickly and with such chaos that we did not have time to properly vet everyone.

That, however, is not what we were told at the time. Then White House press secretary Jen Psaki was asked about this by a reporter and she said that all of these people were being vetted and screened ‘thoroughly.’

Watch her speaking in the 2021 video below.

Transcript via Real Clear Politics:

REPORTER: You’ve talked about this a little bit on this end as well, but there are, of course, concerns among lawmakers, experts who have tracked this, who are saying previous arrivals of large numbers of refugees from different parts of the world inevitably, there may be a handful, small handful, who are eventually deemed a security risk of some kind. What reassurances can you make about the screening process and the attempts to make sure that somebody like that doesn’t make his or her way here?

WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY JEN PSAKI: I can absolutely assure you that no one is coming into the United States of America who has not been through a thorough screening and background check process. And there are many individuals, as you noted, who have not been through that process, and they have gone to lily pad countries as that process has been completed. It doesn’t mean that that’s because there is a flag.

It means they have not completed their paperwork, and we were working to save tens of thousands of people. Hence, we evacuated them to these third countries.

Here’s the clip:

It’s amazing that this woman, now a host on MSNOW, has the audacity to go on TV and accuse Trump and his administration of being untruthful or of spreading misinformation. She stood at that podium and did nothing but lie for Joe Biden for years.
