That you actually didn’t screen or vette the terrorist? Because you prohibited your people from checking social media.
State Department spokesman John Kirby admitted Monday that “things went wrong” in the visa process that allowed Tashfeen Malik into the United States, but could not say “exactly” what mistakes were made.
When asked whether the State Department felt “generally” that they “missed something with […] Tashfeen Malik,” Kirby hesitated to respond.
“It’s difficult to say until the investigation is complete, Justin, but–but clearly, something, you know, well, I don’t even–I just don’t want to get ahead of an investigation that’s not complete,” he said.
Kirby then said that the shooting was a “tragic result” that “nobody ever wants to see” happen again. He underscored the importance of the State Department’s review of the visa process for assuring that a similar tragedy does not occur.
“Nobody wants to see it happen again, I can tell you, which is why we’re gonna take this review so seriously, and why we’re cooperating very vigorously with the FBI as they investigate this,” he said.
He eventually admitted that something went wrong in the visa process, but could not say exactly what lessons should be learned.
