Enough is enough. As veteran reporter Rick Leventhal told Chris Salcedo, Democrats and their media allies have spent months stoking fear and chaos, and now Americans are paying the price in blood and sorrow. Instead of honest debate about law and order, we get rhetoric that pats criminals on the head and demonizes those who keep our streets safe, and that poison seeps into the atmosphere before tragedy strikes.
Two West Virginia National Guard members were ambushed while performing their duty just blocks from the White House on November 26, 2025, in what officials have described as a targeted attack that left one soldier dead and another critically wounded. The suspect, a 29-year-old Afghan national who resettled in the U.S. under Operation Allies Welcome and who reportedly worked with CIA-backed units in Afghanistan, was taken into custody after an exchange that left him seriously injured.
This was not random street violence; it was an assault on our uniformed citizens who answered their country’s call to serve at home. The facts about who the suspect is and how he entered the United States raise obvious questions about vetting and policy choices that Democrats have pushed for years, often in the name of compassion but without regard for public safety. Trusting open-borders platitudes over common-sense screening has real consequences, and families are paying the bill.
President Trump and his team called the attack an act of terror and immediately asked for reinforcements in the capital, a commonsense move to protect the public and deter copycats. In the middle of this crisis, it is insulting to hear elected Democrats default to partisan shrugs and blame-shifting rather than confront uncomfortable facts about immigration, vetting, and enforcement. Leadership means making hard decisions to keep Americans safe, not performing for cable news ratings.
For months the left has normalized a narrative that law enforcement and the military are the problem while soft-pedaling risks tied to failed immigration policies. That narrative creates a permissive culture where bad actors may feel emboldened and the public’s confidence in security erodes. Conservative Americans see the pattern: when you undercut defenders and reward risk, you invite tragedy.
Rick Leventhal’s blunt critique on the Chris Salcedo Show was right to highlight how dangerous rhetoric can be when it turns real policies into moral theater. We should mourn the fallen, pray for the wounded, and then demand accountability from the politicians who made our streets less safe with their naivete and ideology. The time for feel-good slogans is over; the time for results that protect American lives is now.
Lawmakers must act swiftly to tighten vetting, reassess problematic resettlement programs, and give our Guard and law enforcement the resources they need to secure the capital and the country. If Democrats continue to deny reality and demonize defenders, they will own the next preventable tragedy. Hardworking Americans deserve leaders who put safety first, not spin doctors who rewrite the facts to fit an agenda.
