CNN Panel: Finances, Mental Illness, Seeing Military Uniforms Triggered Afghan Shooter
28th November 2025
CNN This Morning’s group chat offered a number of excuses for the Afghan immigrant’s shooting of National Guardsmen.
CNN military analyst Cedric Leighton began by claiming that anyone can be radicalized, pointing to Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber! If ours is a country of 350 million potential mass murderers, all the more reason not to add to the count by admitting millions of lightly-vetted foreigners!
Leighton went on to say that the Afghan’s struggles to make ends meet after coming to US might have set him off. Seriously? Perhaps he should have stayed in Afghanistan, that land of plenty!
Meghan Hays, a CNN commentator and former Biden aide, claimed that the fact that the Afghan shot at point-blank range proved that he was a “crazy person’ with “mental illness.”
Seventy-two virgins ring a bell, Meghan? Are all the “martyrs” insane?
