Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT) pushed back against the Biden administration’s plan to resettle Afghan nationals in his home state of Montana and suggested that the refugees are not properly vetted, despite repeated assurances from the Biden administration that they are, CNN reports.
Rosendale also used incendiary language to suggest that settling 75 people in his state amounts to “flooding.”
