On Wednesday's broadcast of Newsmax TV's "The Record," Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) discussed the testimony of Sam Aronson, a State Department official during the withdrawal from Afghanistan, who said that consulates "did not send their best. In fact, they may have sent their worst" to Afghanistan and one of the officials at the consulate was overweight and another was deaf. Perry also noted that Aronson testified that there was terrible vetting to determine who actually had a Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) and what "was supposed to be the sole mechanism with which to confirm someone had an SIV...became the least reliable mechanism to confirm that somebody had an approved SIV" and stated, "some people were left behind. Other people who were undeserving, unvetted came to America."
