In response to the devastating vehicle-ramming attack in New Orleans on New Year's Day, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) insinuated that the Biden administration's border policy was to blame — all of which appear now to have jumped the gun.
"Terrorist attack in NOLA similar to the one in the German Christmas market," Greene wrote on X of the incident, which has left 10 dead and dozens more wounded. "What did we expect would happen with wide open borders and millions of gotaways? The problem is no one trust the FBI under the current leadership, so everyone is questioning every detail they can find in their own. What an absolute disaster America is in."

Greene followed this up with another post, in which she said, "New Orleans terrorist attacker is said to have come across the border in Eagle Pass TWO DAYS AGO!!! Shut the border down!!! Who did our government bomb lately that is taking it out on innocent Americans?"
Authorities have now confirmed that the suspected perpetrator of the attack, 42-year-old military veteran Shamsud-Din Jabbar, had an ISIS flag affixed to the truck used to carry out the massacre, and they believe he may not have acted alone. However, Jabbar was a U.S. citizen born in Texas, casting doubt on Greene's immediate suspicion the attack was enabled by weak border security.
Additional details are as yet unknown; however, NBC News reported that a woman identified as the suspect's sister-in-law spoke to the press.
“It don’t make no sense. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever known,” said the woman, who wished to remain unidentified. “I really don’t know what happened. He was a good man. He takes care of his children and everything.”
