Vice President Kamala Harris championed her and President Joe Biden’s mass resettlement of Afghans across the United States that, as federal prosecutors reveal, imported an Afghan national accused of plotting an Islamic State (ISIS) attack on American citizens on Election Day. “I have worked almost my entire career on a number of issues but with a particular emphasis on the protection of women and children and there’s no question that any of us who are paying attention are concerned about that issue in Afghanistan,” Harris said in late August of 2021. During that same press conference, Harris vowed that the…
